I had no idea you could get a V8 in these things. I drove my buddies 2005-ish Colorado with the 3.5L I5....never did anything for me but a 3LT would be pretty slick.

I didn’t know they existed until a buddy of mine bo ught one a few years back. Super cool trucks, I wish they would make a variant for the current model.

There used to be a frequent poster here who had a V8 Colorado or Canyon.

I believe that would be one smallbear, who has been absent ever since The Great Kinja Scare 2019

I sat in one as a teenager at an auto show. Unfortunately, they all had 4L60Es and were expensive.
(other exciting things at said show were a Solstice Coupe and the Scion TC s hark fin car from the commercials)

Not everyone has content to post all the time. Especially during the slow winter months. Some people like lurking.

I test drove a 2wd Crew Cab V8 when we had our 04 Colorado.
It got us kicked out of the dealer........

Like the people who spammed restaurants with takeout orders a month ago, people should start buying sub-$10K vehicles with terrible gas mileage to help the oil industry.
I like that blue Colorado, though. It has a sunroof, unlike the new ones.

Yeah, these are pretty neat, availalbe ‘09-’12. When I was looking for another midsize to replace my high mile ‘01 Dakota QC V8, I looked at getting either another Dakota QC V8 (4x4, ‘00-’04 or ‘08-’11 facelift) or a Colo/Canyon 4x4 V8 Crewcab. Dakotas were noticeably cheaper, but anything V8 with 100k mi or less was expensive. The nice Canyon/Colorados were ~$18-20k, Dakotas $10-14k. Way too much to me for a 10 year old truck. Found a nicely discounted ZR2 instead.
All the older V8 midsize trucks are pretty fun IMO.

I remember seeing a new one sit a local dealer for over a year before someone bought it. I thought it was pretty cool to have a V8 Colorado, and this was during the last recession. I haven’t really thought about them much since then.

Yeah, I’m a sucker for a good sport truck. It doesn’t need to be a modern syclone but making it lower with better brake and suspension in the v6 would be fun
