Driving the 2004 Chevy Colorado around can put one in mind of the fact that it's direct ancestor was the Chevy S10 midsize pickup to the extent that both were pickups in the Chevy family. After that, there seems to be almost nothing but two vehicles have in common, because the Colorado looks like quite a stylish truck that came out strong as a result of a collaborative effort by two different General Motors divisions.
For the most part, the Shreveport Louisiana plant churns out Chevrolet Colorado midsize pickups for the US market. Offering both an automatic transmission (four-speed) and a manual transmission in the five-speed variety, one can count on mating these transmissions to a number of different size engine packages.
Recognizing the fuel economy will be important to many people in these challenging times, General Motors and Chevrolet manufacture engine sizes running from large in-line four-cylinder power plants all the way up to a 5. 3 L V-8 that can really put some power down to all four wheels. As far as manual transmissions go, the standard package consists of a five speed, while a four speed automatic is also available.
Additionally, a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado will usually be found in one of two cab types: An extended version and a regular cab. Normally, most Colorado's seen out on the roads will be of the extended variety, which has a small backseat. There are extended cab versions, and all trucks come in either two wheel or four-wheel drive.
In the four-wheel drive version (usually called the "Z71"), one will be able to get quite a bit of equipment for the money. The Colorado has been a strong seller from the get-go, and even overtook the very popular offering from another rival in 2005, mainly due to its fresh and attractive styling and all those engines, including a nice in-line five cylinder. This engine bridges the gap nicely between a four cylinder and a V-8.
As Chevy likes to do, it made sure that the 2004 Chevy Colorado came in a couple of different packages, most of which revolve around the well-known LS and LT options offerings. For those who like a lot of equipment, look for the LT2. Chevy really made sure that the world knew how serious it was about taking a strong stance in midsize pickup trucks with this new Colorado.
The 2004 Chevy Colorado did well in picking up the midsize pickup truck duties from the old Chevy S10. Its appearance on the scene back then gave notice that Chevy was serious about having trucks that looked good and use those little gas as possible while also delivering as much performance as possible.
