2015 Colorado Extended Cab, Long Box LT RWD

This new Colorado is a much improved than its processor will tow 1,000 more weight than our Kodiak can max out at 6,000 and that is 7000 with a 2 wheel drive extended cab v6 with towing package to get our Kodiak full weight to the max including all water and holding tanks.

It has 1,600 payload and with a Bose sound system a rear view camera to get rid of taking two people to hitch up when doing so and with being 17-18 feet in length and a 127.8 wheelbase that is basically the same as our old 2003 Expedition and replacing a Chevy trailblazer same year it has a inline 6 and ½ the size 10 feet and w wheel base 9 feet this having a 8 inch touch screen that is the same exact size as my dell that I use for work.

The is the first new truck that I have ever bought all my past where used but what Chevy has done in this one is to make my job that I have over 2 ½ years that can make my work better because I work in the field for a large merchandising firm it is better having On star with turning my truck in to a mobile hot spot and be able to plug my dell and turn my work in on the go and when camping be able to have the internet with me would be great

This has a 3.0 v6 with over 300 hp it can do close to its big brother the Chevy Silverado and get most of its components of it but is its own underneath and it cost $2500-$3000 less than a Toyota Nissan and the same of the Tacoma it was very much higher and most of the standard items and not even available on one this size and Ford is out in the USA has anyone had the processor one would like to know how it has held up over the years

    We were excited about our first new truck,after 30,000 miles the transmission went bad. At 80,000 the intake manifold and cylinder head went bad. at 130,000 the transmission went a 2nd time. None of these issues turned our heads from being a Chevy family, but the final straw was the dealer who did the service they were the worst.
    Good luck with your new Colorado. As for us the next truck will be something other than a Chevy. Hope the dealer is better than any of the ones in the upstate ny area.


    Your experience is the exact opposite of my son's experience with his 2008 extended cab Colorado, bought new in November 2008.

    He had 129K on the odometer when he finally traded it in. Problems...yes. A leaking power steering hose and a bad radio speaker. That's it.

    He had the 5 cylinder and the Z 71 package.

    He lives where the winters are long...about 5 1/2 months, snow is heavy and the temp plunges down to -25 to -35 C for sometimes weeks at a time.

    Many times at work, there was no available plug in and his vehicle would be outside for 10 hours or more. Always quick start ups.

    Yes, the new Colorado's going to be a nice truck. I had no idea it was going to be so large and have such towing capabilities. If so much cheaper than the Tacoma, it should be a very good selling vehicle.
