Used 2004 Chevrolet Colorado

Buying Guide for the Chevrolet Colorado:

Like its name suggests, the all-new Chevrolet Colorado is a rugged truck. It is designed to be a modern interpretation of what a pickup needs. As Chevy puts it, the Colorado is not a smaller version of its full-size Silverado, nor a revised design of the TrailBlazer SUV. It sits on its own distinct body-on-frame platform, conceived to be the best mid-size truck on the road.

In reality, the Colorado rests in the compact pickup truck segment. It is offered in regular cab, extended cab and crew cab forms. The extended cab has dual rear-hinged back doors and seats up to five. The four-door crew cab seats up to six. It has a 5-ft-long cargo box, while other models have a 6-ft bed.

Base models are offered in standard form, or with two performance packages. The Z71 off-road suspension package gives the Colorado an elevation lift, while the ZQ8 sport-suspension gives 2WD Colorados 17-inch wheels instead of 15-inch wheels.

Under the Hood

The new Colorado is equipped with an equally new set of inline engines. The new inline 4-cylinder and 5-cylinder engines feature the same all-aluminum construction, dual overhead camshafts and four-valves-per-cylinder technology, as well as electronic throttle control, exhaust cam phasing, coil-on-plug ignition, direct-mount accessories and easy maintenance features.

Base models come with the 2.8-liter I4. It delivers 175 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 185 lb-ft of torque at 2800 rpm. However, they can be upgraded to use the 3.5-liter I5, which produces 220 horsepower at 5600 rpm and 225 lb-ft of torque at 2800 rpm.

The brand-spankin' new Colorado also offers several traction-assistance options. The available shift-on-the-fly 4WD system is activated with a dash-mounted switch. A segment-exclusive automatic locking differential is available on both 2WD and 4WD models.

Standard Features, Options Packages and Style

As a new model, the Colorado is expected to lead the way with fresh standard features. This it does. Available for the first time on a GM pickup are head-protecting curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows.

There are plenty of options available for the Colorado's debut year. Many are reserved for uplevel LS models, but Base trims still offer a few.

Among the names that pop out are running boards, satellite radio, a sliding rear window and leather upholstery (crew cabs).
