I just got crew cab 2009 z71 and i can't be any happier....reliable, practical, decent on gas, rides like a truck, good suspension, good for it's price.. I would upgrade to a 2015 model in the near future. There's something about the Colorado that has an all American truck look to it.

2012 was the last year of the 355 bodystyle. I got my 2009 regular cab model LT that is 2WD 4 cylinder and 5 speed. I got 27 MPG with it. The trick is driving on the highway at 55 MPH with the cruise control set and have a tonneau cover.

@tacomas96026 жыл бұрын
Mine has the 2.8 paired with the 5 speed and 2WD. It had manual windows and manual lock. The truck DOES feature cruise control which surprises me. Mine is the "LS" trim. Regular cab, short bed. Nice truck.

I bought a 2011 Colorado with 2.9 5 spd 4wd . I wished that they would pair a 5 cyl with the 5 spd, but they don't. It was an inexpensive truck with 0 % financing. Complaints include: no 5 cyl with 5 spd and a noisy cabin ride when driving over 55 mph. I get around 26 mpg (combined mileage).

It's a good looking lil truck both inside and especially outside. Seems to have good engines. Unfortunately I'm a Ford guy and can't really see myself falling for a lil Chevy... but I like it nevertheless. I give Chevy props for doing a complete overhaul and "re-designing" the "s10". Something Ford NEVER bothered to really do with the Ranger for 2 decades. They left it to die and I hate that.

Look at crash-vid Colorado 2005 with the ex-cab and compare to the crew-cab. The front wheel on the crew-cab travel at least 10 more " into pass-compartment than on ex-cab when impact. At least produce the same rate safety in what should have been the strongest cab

idk if you bought your tuck yet, ranger is a good truck, but colorado is Years ahead ! worlds of difference ! but a nissan frontier is also a good midsized choice.
@AutoTrader12 жыл бұрын
The Colorado is a little bigger (more of a midsize pickup than the truly compact Ranger) -- and it's also available with a V8 engine from 2009 on. All of the Colorado's engines (in addition to the V8, there's a 2.8-liter 4-cylinder and 3.5-liter 5-cylinder) offer more power than the Ranger's comparable engines (2.3-liter 4-cylinder, 3.0-liter V6 or 4.0-liter V6), though the Ranger's 2.3-liter 4-cylinder offers the best fuel economy by far.

I know the inline 5 is the most common but is the inline 4 any good? Im looking to trade my inline 5 with 156,000 for an inline 4 with 46,000 but its a 2012 and they want around 12,000 for it
@Romulan11210 жыл бұрын
Its a compact truck, not midsized. Show me a compact truck? there are none currently being built. This is it :) if the old Toyotas were being produced, then this would be larger, yet still not midsized. a true midsized truck would have to be around the size of the the extinct Dodge Dakota. That fills the bill.
