That truck looks horrible. I don't like the front end or the back. I just don't car for the "stylized" beds on trucks. The added power would be sweet though.

 

Good to see a V8 finally in a 4x4.

Front looks good to me.

 

it looks cool from the back, but that hood is hideous, maybe if it actually curved down to the grill but D@MN

 

reminds me of the uplander's nose.

 

I think the front overall is ok, the headlights are a bit squinty.

 

 

That colorado front end suddenly made the tundra grow on me a little bit....

 

 

It looks a LOT more like the Dodge Sidewinder concept to me.

 

I knew it looked familiar to me. Just imagine if GM sold that as a new SSR front end

 

320hp 5.3L ....to later appear in a Colorado SS? (insert hope here)

 

If they build it, I will come! I almost wet myself when I saw it!

It is soooo much better than the current model. I love that front end! Don;t change a thing! That front end is similar in style to the WTCC Concept, which also drew divided opinions, either love it or hate it. Similar in that the horizontal bar through the grill looks to be more purposeful than on most of Chevy's cars.

I say restyle the Colorado to look like this or at least offer it as an apperance package.

I think the head lights are fine. The thing that still disturbs me about the current Colorado/Canyon is the placement of the headlights down low. Just looks wrong IMO.

The Canyon Concept of a few years ago also looked good, but they never built it. Don't remember what they called it. Lost the pictures of it when my hard drive crashed a while back.

 

They build it, I will buy it. No question. That is exactly what I have been looking for.

 

I'm thinking about what all I've told myself that I would get different from my current Silverado and this truck is fitting so many of them.

I do question the tow capacity of this truck though. All the current configuation I5 powered Colorados are limited to 4000# towing. Would it be outrageous to see a 5.3L crew cab 4WD Colorado capable of pulling 5500-6000#?

The extra 80hp/100tq will be a nice increase I do hope they use the aluminum block with AFM and E85 capability along with the 6L80.

 

6000lbs. sounds reasonable. The funny thing is the H3 is rated at 4500lbs. and a reg cab 4x4 Colorado with the same powertrain is rated at 4000. Since the Colorado is 1000lbs. lighter than the H3 wouldn't you think it the real world it could out tow the H3 by that same amount? 5500lbs. The only thing different is 4.56 rear vs. 4.10
