These look like pretty tuff affordable trucks. The only thing I see wrong is the Engine/Horsepower. 220hp/225lf/ft torque, which aint much but im guessing it will get the job done in this mid size pickup.

 

Inline 5. HA!!!!!!! I would take a good ole' 4.3 Vortec ANY day.

 

Yea I know, but we dont have those options with this truck.

 

I heard Dodge might put the hemi in their Dakota. It would be more expensive though I'm sure. Also, in 05 the Toyota Tacoma is probably going to be a mid size with a whole new look. I would wait for that, but there's probably nothing wrong with the Colorado. I think its just like a smaller silverado right? Anyway, my Dad has an 01 Silverado 1500 hd and I love it. He has had to have the rear end rebuilt 3 times though and he's never towed a thing with it, not even once. Just something to keep in mind.

 

I just ran across your post while I was doing a Google search for the Colorado. I just bought one last Wednesday. I bought the 4 door Z-71 package with the 5 cylinder. If you want some questions answered just let me know.

 

they just deliverd one of these babys to our local gm dealer today, that puppy is sweet, the guys over on s10forum.com are already talking bout yanking out the engine and putting ina v-8 of some kind, but yeah i think this is a pretty sweet ride

 

For more info about the Colorado, and a good bunch of folks, go to gm-trucks (add the dot com of course).
