Crappy v8 that still makes its power at the top end of its range. And it was even worse in the full size truck.
My colorado has a 1300 pound payload capacity. Which is really good for a small truck.
Guess what I tow a 3000 pound plus tralier with a i5 motor that has no issues at all. And still better than you v8. And as far as pulling 40mph winds check,going up 15% grade hill check going through all of bc Canada up every mountain at 60mph with the cruise set and a/c running check.
Hell I make 200ft pounds of tourqe at the rear wheels not the crank and that's at 4500rpm. So yet again your v8 has nothing on it. Well except being gutless and broken exhaust manifolds and oil burning and spark plugs that won't come out. Go trition v8. Lol
When should I stop. The tranny that has issues the poor fit finish inside and out. Ohhhhh wait it's just a Ford explorer with the rear cut off.
Sorry but the current colorado with the V6 will leave you behind as will my truck.
And yet a gain lets drag up the gm issues. Well they had the balls to fix a major issue caused by another member. Not like Ford back in the 90s with the crappy 5.0 v8 in the f150 that started to burn oil after a year or the ignition switch issues they had that caught fire or all the new mustangs in 93 that came off the car carrier with the wheel alignment so far out that it would burn off the front tires,or how about the 4 speed tranny that you had to lock out overdrive then the computer would turn the light out but the tranny was still in of and if towing it would blow up. They told people to bad you fix out of pocket and the******still goes on. With the new Eco boost that they can't figure out how to get moisture out of a intercooler and already showing blown turbos and oil burning.
Well if that's the company you like to stand behind you do that. And yes I worked at Ford for a year and gm for a year. And after what I seen at both you could never pay me to drive or push a Ford.
But the new deisel will be great and when gm installs the 4.3 it will get better.
But I am sure Ford will be out soon with a new small truck and install a motor with a turbo on it and everyone will praise them. Lol
Wow, must be that new legal medicinal stuff. :p
What I could decipher, sounds like run away rants. But we get it, you are a Government Motors guys, that's fine.
Thanks for the post, it was entertaining. Guess those new Silverado engines need to be redesigned, they all have higher peak rpm outputs than the 4.6L 3V. Oh well, GM will finally get it right. :)
