Hadn't even picked it up yet and already thinking of mods. Now that's a gearhead.

you know it

LM Performance has a section for the Colorado, but nothing specifically for it yet. Couple months and it should fill up. I'll keep an eye out for ya.

Keep us posted! I'm curious as to the build quality and durability. It seems like it fills a void right between the compact and full size trucks.

yea ill def let you guys know how it is. i def liked it from the test drive. that I5 has some kick to it . it seemed to handle nicely and the interior is nice. lots of room for us bigger guys (im 6'4") i couldnt put the seat all the way back cus i wouldnt be able to reach the pedals. I got the crew cab so its four door with lots of room in the back. the bed is only 5 ft but its not gonna be a work truck for me so im not worried about that, ill put down a rubber liner and use it to cary my ski and snowboard equipment. thats all i got for you right now.

Are you getting the Inline 5 cylinder Vortech? I hear that is one awsome motor. Economey of a four with the power of a 6.

[Ken(Bone Breakin Chevy)]

yep thats what i got. and your right the fuel ratings are that of the four cylinder with the power of a 6. not so much the power of my rents I6 in there trailblazer though. that i think has 260??

I drove the sport version of the Colorado at the GM Autoshow In Motion back in August. I agree, the I5 is pretty gutsy. It won't stand to the F-body, obviously , but its definitely a great daily driver. Chevy/GMC did a good job with the interior design and with the motor.

Well guys i took it for a drive tonight when i got out of work. now its rainy here in ct but i got a feel for it. It picks up pretty quick. The braking system is great. It seemed to handle pretty nicely for a truck, i took it at 40 on the curvy parts without a problem. (backroads) havent had it on the highway yet. tomorrow morning i will. Heres a couple things from the equipment list:
Engine: 3500 I5 Vortec. 220 HP, 225 TQ 17 MPG city and 22 MPG Highway
Tran: 4spd auto
Auto locking dif
3.73 rear
HD Trailering Equipment
Power Convenience Package

Sweet. What color did you get? Can we expect pics soon?

[Ken(Bone Breakin Chevy)]

well its dirty already it snowed last night. so when i get it clean there will be pics. its indigo blue. and for an update. the handling is pretty good when considering cornering and stuff but its a little bumpy.
