Does anyone own a Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon?

Which engine, tranny?

Like it ....Hate it.... ?

I just move kids and an occasional dead deer so I don't need the Dodge Dakota. Seems like a nice truck though.

I could pobably get a new Dakota for the same price as a year old Colorado? That makes it a tough decision.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Believe me...I don't expect this to compare to a Dakota or larger truck.

I believe the Colorado is geared to folks like me that do not tow...but move people and not a bed of rocks; and make trips to the lumber yard occasionaly.

If I used a truck to earn a living I would get the Dakota with a V-8 . It is a solid machine and with all the rebates and discounts a great value. The Dakota and the Colarado are two totally different vehicles.

95 % of the time the truck would just have to move me, back and forth to work in every type of weather on back roads...pick up the kids at school a couple of times a week and if I am lucky ...transport a dead deer in November. All the while getting good gas milage.

I'm working on a deal for a 2004 Colorado Crew Cab with under 15000 miles. 3.5 5 cylinder, automatic. 

I'll tell you what I think after I drive it next week.

I'll vote.

I'll second that.

Just brought home a brand spanking new Chevy Colorado Z85 LS  4x4 Extended Cab. I actually found one with a standard transmission. She picks up nice on the highway and is listed as getting 19/24 MPG.

The other dealer sold the '04 Crew Cab before my dealer could get his hands on it.

This is the first new vehicle I've bought for myself since my 1987 Ford EXP GT.

                                                                                 I'll keep you posted.

Interior pictures.

Try the links above. My truck looks like the one on the right and the interior is the same except that I have 5 on the floor.  

I have'nt a clue on how to post pictures.

Nice truck.    It's something what they did with the back seat. 

That shoud do Dan.

I don't know why manual transmissions in many vehicles are so hard to find. It seems like if you don't want the cookie cutter version most people want, you can't get it.

Now you need to pimp it up. Maybe some naked lady mud flaps, fat boy muffler, some spinners, new sound, lowering kit

Ok, maybe just a bed liner. And when you get old and your idea of a pimped up ride is a bed liner, fancy headlights might be in order.
