2004 Chevrolet Colorado LS Z71 review from North America
"A great buy when a full size truck is too big to fit your needs"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced O2 sensor because of failed Penn. state emissions inspection. I wouldn't of replaced it, but was required by state law.
General comments?
This truck is great. It's a rough and ready vehicle. I do everything with it from landscaping to pulling my 20' Chris Craft on the weekends. May struggle a little on steep grades, but otherwise plenty of power.
Still the original factory brakes at 107,000.
Paint and clear coat still have plenty of gloss. I wax once a year after the winter.
I've never had it in the shop except for the Penn. State inspection required by law for plates and registration.
Oil changes every 7500-9000 miles.
