S10forum is the wrong place to post Colorado stuff. They hate that truck with the same passion 4th gen owners hate the GTO.

That really does look like a tight fit? You would think: Colorado=Bigger=easier fit but I guess not? Ive seen SBC's fit in with more room in an S10?
anyway...short bed...standard cab... sounds like it should haul. Now if GM could only do it....6spd as well.

I thought that a V8 would not fit in between the rails on a Colorado? Guess this proves thats.....

I think they really messed up on this thing. The S10 was nicer. Who designed that front with those lights? Do they still have a job at GM?

Re: Didn't take long for someone to do this....LS1, Colorado.
 

s10 was nicer how? I love the front end on the Colorado, as I love the front end on the new Silverado's as well. Very agressive as supposed to Fords "Cute" look.

Re: Didn't take long for someone to do this....LS1, Colorado.
 

Yup.

Nope. I don't know why, but it works far better on Colorado than Silverado.

BTW, if y'all thought it was a bitch to change LS1 spark plugs on an f-body, good luck on that Colorado!

That didn't take long at all. I wonder what it will run.

Personnaly, I like the Colorado much better. At first I didn't like the new look, but it has grown on me and now I really like it. The only design element that I still don't like is the tail lights.

My wife and I are looking at getting a 4 door Colorado. It would be nice if it had a V8 like that (though not to work on).

Re: Didn't take long for someone to do this....LS1, Colorado.
 

Glad to see it fits, now maybe the Colorado will get a 4.8L/5.3L in the future.


Colorado is much nicer than the S-10. Interior is much nicer and the Colorado looks a lot tougher. S-10 had the same round soft "cute" look that the old F-150 had. The Crew Cab looks like it actually belongs on the Colorado, S-10 Crew Cabs have something about them that just doesn't look right to me.


The Colorado looks better becuase the front over hang looks smaller.
Look at the amount of sheet metal between the wheel well and head light on the Silverado
now look at the Colorado Z71
Colorado Xtreme
Colorado Sport

I like the Colorado/Canyon OK, but it still needs some refinement.

The front end is a great look - The side profile is ok, aside from the angled-looking fenders. The only other thing I don't like the taillights and rear bumper that remind me of a cheap-o Nissan truck of old.

I love my 04 Colorado Z71 Crew Cab! Great truck, nice bed size and I can haul the family. I constantly get people asking me about it at gas stations, parking lots, etc.

Re: Didn't take long for someone to do this....LS1, Colorado.
 

Good point. Comparing your two pics, I think it's also because on Colorado the headlights wrap around into the fenders, and the hood doesn't cut into the fenders like they do on Silverado. It just looks more integrated on Colorado instead of a slapped-on afterthought like it appears on Silverado.

Re: Didn't take long for someone to do this....LS1, Colorado.
 

this whole thread just goes to prove that styling is subjective. You can't please everybody at once. Personally, I like the Colorado's look. I also like the Titan's look.

to each his own

Colorado SS? :D

Build it GM and I'll buy! :bow:

Someone should be paying attention to this...
