Chevy Colorado four door s
We do a bit of commuting to a vacation home with our Chevy 1500 Silverado standard cab pickup to tote a bit of cargo back and forth. The wife wants us to trade for a fourdoor shortbox, which would have Grandkid room and haul all the stuff we have to haul rather than the full 8 ft. I have a small two wheel trailer we pull now and then but never haul more than maybe a lawn tractor. We haven't went looking yet, but the Colorado fourdoor is a nice looking small pickup. Any opinions on them? Frank.

Thanks guys for the info. I've also heard that they aren't much better mileage wise than the Silverado's My current 07 plain jane standard cab 4X4 1500 W/small V8/auto tans has tickled an HONEST 21 in a calm day no air contitioner several times on an interstate day long drive. About 16-18 on day to day town and back drives. A friend of mine has a new body style 07 1500 with the 8/6/4 engine with every dodad known to man and probably some no man has heard of. I could have already solved all this if I just would have split for a four door when I bought the one I have now, but the old conservative mind set wouldn't let me spend the extra. I have no problem with other brands long as it is GM/Ford/Dodge, absolutely no foeiegn cars in my shed. I'd have to have a real good reason to stray from Chevy simply because of the dealereship I buy from. they are a small town dealership that started in 1946 and probably rival the volume of the big timers, and they don't even have a showroom. Just good honest people. Frank.

Yes, I have looked at the Avalanche, not sure if I spell it correctly either, and do like their "Midgate" feature that allows a shortbox to be turned into to a longbox or even a bit more I think by just opening a gate between the front of the pickup box and folding down the back seats. I don't think the Hummer would be a go with the Mrs., she leans toward the smaller side. In my prior post about the friend who has the 1500 four door with the 8/6/4/ engine. I've really never asked him about fuel mileage, his normal objective is to "Get There NOW".

Thr Mrs. just don't want a Hummer, I didn't know they built a small one, but she says no, so end of that story. We're still mlles from any decision, and haven't had time to do any looking yet.

KT; From what little I've heard about them the Hummer's seem to be a good solid machine, but a bit pricey. The wife says they have too muuch of an "Armored Car" look. Frank.

KT: I think you are right, we are right back where we started. The Mrs. is a small person 5' 1'' so even the fullsize Silverado I have now kinda overwhelms her, so I think it is a Colorado.
Joel; Yes you are correct probabaly more of my Silverado was built in Mexico than any other country. But here is the stigma that keeps me domestic. I never served in the military, so to do my part besides having "Old Glory" flying proudly in my front yard 24/7 LONG before 911, I just refuse to so to speak "Salute" another flag except ours by having a foriegn car in my garage.

Joel; You have your opinions and I have mine. As you will recall we have never saw things on the same level, but your statement that helping an old lady up a flight of stairs is the most patroitic thing I could do is the most anti patriotic statement I've ever heard for anyone claiming to be a true American say. Nuff said, end of story, PERIOD!!!
