Used 2005 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 LS Crew Cab RWD for Sale near Redding, CA

It's a great truck that gets good gas mileage. For some reason mine is having a problem with squeaks right now. It can haul alot of gear, which is good for a paintballer. All In all it is not a very bad truck at all. You should get one! The Colorado is a very good truck, but it has some recalls on it.

This vehicle is growing on me. I was never particularly fond of the styling, as it didn't really look like the other GM trucks. Since it is an Isuzu design, that is understandable. The I5 engine is adequate for around town, but is under-powered for the interstate, especially with the automatic transmission. Gas mileage is not much better than the 1997 1/2 ton I had with the 5.7L EFI engine. Probably because the transmission has to shift so much to keep it in the powerband. Ride is acceptable for a truck. I like the Z71 package, even with the 2WD. Forget hauling building materials, since the bed is only 5 ft long in the 4 door version. It will pull a small trailer, but won't do it on the interstate very well. This truck would be great with a 4.3 V6 or similar.

5 cylinder packs alot of power for such a small engine.. 220 horses, it'll get up and go. Typical GM brake pad squeaking, but that's easily fixed.

Nice ride with a hint of style. Bad choice on engine though.
