2004-2012 Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon - Pre Owned - TruckTrend Magazine
The 2004 to 2012 Chevrolet Colorado, along with its sister, the GMC Canyon , represents one complete generation of this compact pickup truck. For buyers who need their pickup to perform only the occasional light task, the Colorado/Canyon might work well enough. Coming into the world by virtue of a joint effort between General Motors in North America and Brazil, plus input from Isuzu, the Coloranyon is available in regular, extended, and crew cab versions. Trim levels, in ascending order of plushness, started out as Work, LS, and LT. LT versions received a face-lift in 2007, while the LS retained the old look. LS morphed into VL for the 2009 model year and disappeared for 2010. Another minor tweak took place in 2009, bringing the option of a 5. 3-liter V-8 endowed with 300 hp and 320 lb-ft of torque. The Canyolorado originally came with a 2. 8-liter four-cylinder making 175 hp and 185 lb-ft of torque or a 3. 5-liter inline-five developing 220 hp and 225 lb-ft. Once the 2007 face-lift kicked in, these were superseded by a 2. 9-liter four-cylinder with 185 hp and 190 lb-ft and a 3. 7-liter inline-five with 242 hp and 242 lb-ft. The entry-level four-potter was linked to either a five-speed manual transmission or a four-speed automatic. Other options include the Z85 heavy-duty package and the ZQ8 street pack with lowered, stiffened suspension, plus 18-inch wheels. The Colorado/Canyon twins are not considered the best in their class.
