In the summer of 2018 I picked up a 4×4 2008 Chevy Colorado to build. I needed something that was decent on fuel, could navigate moderate terrain back in the bush and transport some of my toys like my 2001 King Quad ATV.
My Colorado features the 3.7L I5 with 242hp and 242 tq. It’s the crew cab as I found the extended cab offered no room for backseat passengers.
