Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon
Original Message   Apr 8, 2005 5:08 pm
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.

Rob,

You're right about the cookie cutter. It's hard to find a manual transmission in anything but a stripped down base model. Even harder with the I-5 engine.

This Colorado has simple car type options that in most base cars are standard like; power windows, door locks and mirrors. In a truck it's all extra. I also got the autolocking differential.

I did'nt find this truck though...it found me. I was'nt looking for this one but I was intrigued with the options plus the manual tranny. The window sticker  claiming it will get 19 MPG in town was a winner with me. I had to stretch a bit to come up with a decent downpayment but the old Explorer was giving up the ghost quickly.

Being "Pimped" for me would be a bediner[the spray on would be "the bomb"], fog lights and step rails.

Dan,
That Cadillac look front end on Marshall's second picture is nice. How can you resist?

That's a nice color!!!  My wifes Tahoe Z71 is the same color.  I originally wanted her to get black, bought she sold me on it, and it really is a unique look.  Good call.

LOL, those are 2 wheelers, a 4X4 needs different equipment.  I couldn't find any 4X4 custom pics though.
