Thats the same engine in the Trailblazer I think and my friends goes just fine IMO. I think it is a pretty good looking truck overall except the trim level that has the black fender flairs - they are all squared off and it looks NASTY!!!

The TB has the inline six and a V8 package was offerred. I think the Colorado is optioned with a 3.8L V6 package also.

My buddy had a Rado and I loved it, I hate him now cause he sold it for a Toyota. The inline 5 actually had a lot of power, more than any blazer does I know that. But still, the thought of having a 5 cylinder sucks, they do need to bring back the 4.3 V6 as base and 5.3 V8 for the SS trim, I would buy one for damn sure. They need better interior though, I agree. Seats are hideous and dash is cheap and plasticy. More comfratable Leather seats or cloth.

A small box interior with a front drive V8? How do you keep the *** end on the ground? (counter weights in the bed?). Yeah and it's UGLY too.

OK, now that I've sat in one it ain't bad (4 door with short bed). Salesman said V8 would be available in 4WD, so's that can't be all bad. Still seems like a big engine for such a little truck. Inside was tight still but inside looked OK. See, old people can change their minds.
