Our Colorado Goes to the Lake

Our first weekend off in a while and we got to play with our new project Chevy Colorado a bit. On a two lane country road with a lot of high-speed passing areas, we found the additional power over our Honda Ridgeline to be most welcome. Out in the trails the 4WD system works wonderfully and this truck is immensely capable.

We even put it to work on the plow to clean weeds out of a lake. The low range four-wheel drive made it so we never got stuck. Our Honda Ridgeline might have been a bit more comfortable on the street, but out here in the woods, the Colorado is very capable and the clear winner.

I'm imagining that they hooked it up to a drag rake and scooped weeds out that way, but that is just a guess.

If we were in a bar, we readers would be gesturing at you, trying to get you to stop, yelling, "Tell us about the lake!"

I'm curious about the fuel mileage you guys are getting out that thing. The 4x4 Canyon is on the short list for a new vehicle.

If I can manage a new vehicle in the next 6-9 months a Colorado is on my list, though probably not a crewcab 4x4. I'll be interesting in reading how this turns out as a project.

I see you can order a 2wd with the 305hp V6 and a locking rear.

high winding V6 - peak hp at 6800 rpms

I stopped to see these at Chebie the other day. Since they had only 2 in stock they were fully loaded crew cabs pushing upper $30,000's? For that I'd consider a Silver colored Silverado.
