The rugged and useful 2004 Chevy Colorado has the genes of its predecessor, the Chevy S10, running through its veins though a casual comparison of the two side-by-side would reveal almost no resemblance between the two midsize pickup trucks. This useful and stylish pickup truck made its debut in 2004 was the result of a joint design effort taking place between parent company General Motors’ United States division and GM’s Brazil operations.
The Chevy Colorado pickup truck is made in one of two plants, with the most recognizable and well known plant churning out these trucks down in Shreveport, Louisiana. The truck itself offers both automatic transmissions and manual transmissions as a part of its equipment package. Additionally, there are a wide range of engines available.
Back in 2004, the Chevy Colorado was presented as a midsize pickup that also understood that fuel economy could be an important thing. Chevrolet and its parent, General Motors, took care to make sure that several different engines were available ranging in size from an in-line four-cylinder at 2. 8 L all the way up to a small block V-8 at 5. 3 L. They come with either a five speed manual or a four speed automatic.
The 2004 Chevrolet Colorado can be found in a couple of different cab styles, the two most common being a regular two-door and an extended version that has a small backseat in the rear. There are a number of different options offerings in both the two wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions.
The four-wheel drive package — commonly known as the Z71 — offers a lot of equipment for a relatively small amount of money. The pickup truck has been a strong seller, which is partly due to its very attractive design and the range of engines offered, one of which is an in-line five cylinder which seems to bridge the gap between four-cylinder performance and eight cylinder performance that is just a little hungry for gasoline.
As with all Chevy trucks, the 2004 Chevy Colorado comes in a couple of different flavors, including the well-known LS and LT packages, with the LT2 being the one that’s most recognized as having all the bells and whistles. Chevy, with the introduction of this midsize pickup, has made a statement of seriousness that many a fan of Chevy trucks has been waiting for it to display.
The 2004 Chevy Colorado did well in picking up the midsize pickup truck duties from the old Chevy S10. Its appearance on the scene back then gave notice that Chevy was serious about having trucks that looked good and use those little gas as possible while also delivering as much performance as possible.
