Took the Colorado up a random path today and found myself a great little off-road proving ground where I quickly learned a few things about the truck.

1.) The hill descent control works. It works really, really well.

2.) Its the perfect width for really narrow trails that have brush on one side and certain death on the other

3.) Its the perfect length for turning around on aforementioned trails when you reach a rut so deep it's probably home to a giant sand worm.

4.) The backup camera tells the truth and you should always believe what your eyes are seeing.

5.) The Z71 suspension is no joke and can handle much larger rocks than one would think.

Whole lot more thoughts and video coming in the full review next week. I'm wicked impressed with this truck, so far I think it'd make a great companion for just about anyone.

Andrew Maness writes about cars because he has one and also has a computer. He's been known to drunkenly Tweet as !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and upload photos to !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . He also has a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! and thinks talking about himself in the 3rd person is really weird but knows it's necessary if he wants to be taken seriously as an automotive journalist.

The more posts about the Colorado, the more I look at trading my ST for one. My ideal setup is to have fun car/truck. I had that balance in the past, but traded the truck in on the ST. Now, I have the urge to go back to a truck.

So, I have gone out and test driven an LT V6 4x4 Crew Cab short bed... I liked (really, really liked) it. I went to check out a z71, sat in the driver's seat, and as I went to adjust it, I noticed that the back support had a little play in it, as if the angle select mechanism didn't engage completely and it led to a very annoying thunk thunk thunk as I leaned back and forth with the seat position fixed... have you noticed this?

This made me sad.

Then my father, our salesman and I got locked into the back lot of the dealership looking for a new suburban... I did not find 5 dollars on that trip...
