Used 2005 Chevrolet Colorado Z71 LS Extended Cab RWD for Sale near Las Vegas, NV
4.5 Overall rating
(2 reviews)I (28 yrs old) live on a farm in Sweden and I use the truck daily. My driving habits are small gravel roads and larger country roads, in some cases in poor condition, and limited city driving. The performance of the Colorado with the 3.5L engine gives the truck good acceleration and fair top speed. Passing cars is easy. My truck has ABS breaks and the truck halts on demand without problems on dry tarmac. The ABS breaks does the job on icy roads and stability is kept when breaking. When it comes to handling I would say it is fair upp to 100 km/h without any payload. Above that speed require an alert driver, unless you drive on an airstrip. The best handling is achived with 300 kg in the back. I noticed that the unused seatbelts rattles on passenger side on the low speed bumpy roads and the rear axle don't give much comfort there (emty truck, much better with load). The cab is fairly quiet and comfortable on larger roads. The sound from the tyres annoys me a bit in speeds above 90 km/h (tyres are threaded for tarmac). For offroad use, this model is ideal. Push a button for low gear and the truck stops for nothing, unless you woud get the idea to drive out in a swamp. The suspension has a great traveling distance and keeps the tyres in contact all the time. It is really extreme and I have never towed the truck. My truck is equiped with everyting but leather seats and the interior is appealing compared with Nissan, Isutzu, Mazda and Toyota trycks. The suicide doors come in handy when storing various stuff behind the driver/passenger seat. The sound system is very poor in my opinion. The stock CD-player is low quality and so are the speakers. I have to replace it all now after only 7500 km. The exterior is very appealing with sidesteps (bars), fender extenders, roll-top and a stainless steel grille guard with extra lights. The extended fenders does work and they have kept the paint intact (7500 km) on the sides of the truck. Gas mileage is very good concidering that the engine delivers 220 hp, it is a 4x4 Z71 and runs on gas. I get about 60 km on a tank of gas. Regarding maintainance, change oil, filters and sparkplugs. Thats all. The fun factor of this truck is high. It's light weight gives it good acceleration and I enjoy buring some rubber and power slides can be done in a controlled way on dry tarmac. Friends and new people I meet think that the truck looks cool and they are all impressed of acceleration (it is a truck). I would recommend anyone to buy this model if you intend to haul light weight goods/trailors or just use it for driving to work.
Is a really gas economic truck and would cover all your needs from Haul to even your daily driving has a awesome look, a lot of power, but I kind of not like how it drives in snow but overall I love it.
