  • Gas hog - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    I purchased this truck used in 2006. After just a few hundred miles I saw I was in trouble. Running interstate speed, the truck would quiver so bad you were unable to see ot the rearview mirror. It had pleanty of power, but really loved the gas. With gas prices over $4, it had to go.

  • What S10 - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    i had to let my S10 go due to penny pinching. but I loved the truck. I did not expect the Colorado to be as good as it is but the 2.8 is great for mileage and power and the sound system is the best stock I have heard yet.

  • Used 2004 Colorado Crewcab 2WD 2.8L/M5 - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    Bought this used with 49K miles 5 months ago, now has 55k miles. The guy that traded it in thought the truck had electrical issues because blower speeds 1-3 would cut out and the CD player wouldnt eject. I bought the truck with little fear being that Im a technician. Tracked the blower issue down to a loose connection at the connector on the blower resistor. The CD drive was jammed with crumbs/dust, and just needed to be cleaned and lubed. Fixed both at a cost of $0 (probably $500 otherwise) and the truck has been great since. No leaks anywhere and still feels solid. I average 21 in the city, and 25-26 on the highway with the 4 cylinder/M5 combo.

    By -

    I own a 2004 Colorado extented cab ZQ8. I love my truck. The only problem Im having is the AC works good on 4 but on 1,2,3 dont hold your breath. I have 62,000 miles and I still get around 24 - 27 mpg. This truck has the get up and go. I turn heads and when Im on the freeway people move out of my way. Im not sure if its the yellow that makes them move or if they are letting me by just to get a glance of the beauty

    great looking ,z71 crew cab package is the one to go with,the box could have been a little bit longer,but my hauling big loads days are over.very good on power and exceleration,gas mileage is alot better than i thought,transmission is smooth and effortless ,unlike that of a ford ranger and the stiffer frame gives it a smooth feel over rough roadways, very roomy interior all around tanx chevy!

  • This truck is a winner - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    Listen carefully- I want to get the word out- this truck is awesome! I bought a like new 2004 2.8l 5 speed. It has 75,000 miles and drives like a champ- this is proof this truck has good quality. I use it to haul my motorcyles and pick up materials for my weekend projects. Its comfy, the stick shift has great position and feel to it and it shifts smoothly! This little engine is great on gas and once you get moving it hums. Great stereo. Fun to drive!

  • First year of the Colorado - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    Bought my Colorado the first year they came out with it. I find that its easy to drive, reliable as heck. Thought that I wouldnt be able to take it off road but its proved me wrong many times. I drive 48 miles to work one way and its held up. I change the oil, tires and make sure not to buy cheap gas. Ive even run E85 in it a couple of times when Ive been in a pinch. Chevy made a great truck.

  • 04 Colorado Z71 LS - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    We like the truck and the quality overall is very good to excellent. No service problems, a few things replaced (A/c switch and a recall on the stop lights) but overall very good. I get 17-18 MPG everday driving, which I thought would be better, but is livable. Good offroad traction for 2wd with locking differential.

  • Colorado better than it looks but - 2004 Chevrolet Colorado
    By -

    Three months after I bought it iIwas in a wreck, saved my life, but since then the power windows motor has gone out in both windows, one after the other. The interior is bigger than it looks in regular cab. Runs great considering I drive it about 70 miles a day, could use better gas mileage though.
