2004 Chevrolet Colorado Review
GM launches a new generation of small pickup trucks with the 2004 Chevrolet Colorado and its GMC Canyon companion. Colorado is slightly larger than the Chevy S-10 it replaces and comes in regular-, extended-, and crew-cab body styles. Colorado and Canyon differ in trim details but share a platform and introduce two new GM truck engines. Replacing a 120-hp 2.2 liter as the base 4 cyl is a 175-hp 2.8. Supplanting a 190-hp 4.3-liter V6 is a 220-hp 3.5-liter inline 5 cyl. Both engines have dual overhead cams vs. overhead valves and come with manual or automatic transmission. Both are available with rear-wheel drive or with 4WD that has low-range gearing but must be disengaged on dry pavement. Canyon's regular cab seats up to three. Its extended cab comes with dual rear-hinged back doors and seats up to five. The 4-dr Crew Cab seats up to six. The Crew Cab has a 5-ft-long cargo box, the other models a 6-ft bed. ABS is standard. Available for the first time on a GM pickup are head-protecting curtain side airbags that cover all seating rows. Available on all body styles and with 2WD and 4WD is the elevated-ground-clearance Z71 off-road suspension. The ZQ8 sport-suspension option is a Chevy exclusive and includes 17-inch wheels vs. 15s and comes only with 2WD. A locking rear differential is available on all Colorados. Traction control is a new option with 2WD. Also available are leather seats (crew cab only), OnStar assistance, and satellite radio. Sold alongside Colorado for the '04 model year are heldover S-10 crew cabs.
News
Trucks aren't redesigned as often as cars, so don't expect major near-term changes for the just-launched Colorado. Some observers think Chevy goofed by not offering a 6-cyl option. If the market agrees, Chevy could easily add the 4.2-liter inline unit from its TrailBlazer SUV, as it's from the same design family as Colorado's 4- and 5-cyl engines.

Consumer Guide® Road Test Ratings
Acceleration
In both Colorado and Canyon, 4 cyl is underpowered for anything but daily commuting--especially with 4WD and automatic transmission. The 5 cyl is spritely with 2WD, adequate with 4WD. Both engines well-matched to quick-shifting automatic transmission. No opportunity yet to test with manual transmission.

Fuel Economy
Extended-cab 2WD 5 cyl averaged 18.8 mpg. Crew Cab 4WD 5 cyl averaged 18.1. Though both were driven mostly highway miles, test fuel economy still slightly better than V6 rivals'. No opportunity to measure with 4 cyl. Chevrolet recommends regular-grade fuel for both engines.

Ride Quality
Overall, better than most any other compact pickup. Still evident, however, are abrupt vertical motions over bumps and dips, with some jittery feel on badly broken surfaces. Otherwise composed. Z85 (base) suspension furnishes best ride. Stiffer Z71 (off-road) and ZQ8 (sport) suspensions grow tiresome on long drives.

Steering/Handling/Braking
Slow to react to most steering inputs, but Colorado and Canyon corner with reasonable poise. Overall, among the more-agile compact pickups. Good straightline stability. 4WD models have noticeably larger turning radius than 2WD versions. Brakes provide quick, even stops with good pedal feel.

Quietness
Less wind and road noise than most competitors, though highway wind rush prominent around doors of extended and crew models. GM's 5-cyl engine louder, coarser than rivals' V6s; 4 cyl par for the class.

Controls
Audio/climate controls simple to use, clearly marked. Gauges easy to read, but some digital readouts wash out in direct sunlight. Interior materials and fit-and-finish above average for the class. Still, some test models had a few squeaks and rattles from the dashboard area.

Room/Comfort/Driver Seating (front)
Lots of leg and head room; seats adequately comfortable for long drives. Middle seat for occasional use only.

Room/Comfort (rear)
Extended cab's rear seat best suits preteens; adults lack leg room even if front seats pushed well forward. Crew cab somewhat more spacious, but leg room still no better than a subcompact sedan's. On both, rear seats hard and undersized, and entry/exit difficult through small door openings.

Cargo Room
Interior storage limited on regular cabs, good on extended and crew cabs with rear seats folded. Unique dual-position support cable allows tailgate to be secured partially open, permitting 4x8 sheets to be carried atop wheelwells with support from tailgate.

Value within Class
Chevy's Colorado and its GMC Canyon companion focus on the light-duty noncommercial user--assuming heavy haulers will move up to the full-size Silverado and Sierra. Given that mission, these are useful, well-balanced small trucks.

Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's
manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker.
Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are
what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options.
The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price
and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently
throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's
window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
NA = price note available, NC = no charge.
