2006 Chevrolet Colorado Preview summaryImage

The 2006 Chevrolet Colorado is Chevy's midsize truck representative. Of course, "midsize" is used loosely here, as the crew cab measures over 17 feet long and 5 feet wide.

Two engines are available: the dohc 2.8-liter, 169-ci dohc I4 rated at 175 horsepower at 5600 rpms with torque at 185@2800. The available dohc I5 is a slight step up, at 3.5 liters and 211 cubic inches, giving 220 and 225 horsepower and torque at the same RPMS.

Mileage is good for a truck, with 27c/21h for the 5-speed manual dohc I4, ranging to the more gas guzzling 23h/18c dohc I5 automatic.
