Driving the 2004 Chevy Colorado around can put one in mind of the fact that it’s direct ancestor was the Chevy S10 midsize pickup to the extent that both were pickups in the Chevy family. After that, there seems to be almost nothing but two vehicles have in common, because the Colorado looks like quite a stylish truck that came out strong as a result of a collaborative effort by two different General Motors divisions.

Being built in one of two plants, the Chevy Colorado sold for use in the United States mainly comes out of the Shreveport Louisiana assembly facility. The truck presents itself with one of two transmission styles; automatic or manual. These two transmissions will made up with a number of different engines.

Recognizing the fuel economy will be important to many people in these challenging times, General Motors and Chevrolet manufacture engine sizes running from large in-line four-cylinder power plants all the way up to a 5. 3 L V-8 that can really put some power down to all four wheels. As far as manual transmissions go, the standard package consists of a five speed, while a four speed automatic is also available.

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 most well-known four-wheel drive package is called theZ71, and it really brings a lot of good things to the table for not a lot of money. Since its debut in 2004, the Chevy Colorado has been a good selling vehicle, part of which is attributed to its attractive styling and a versatile nature of the engines being offered, especially that in-line five cylinder which acts as a bridge between the smaller for and the large V-8 engine.

As is the case with most vehicles offered in the Chevy lineup option offerings are usually lumped into a couple of different categories normally known as the LS and LT versions. Historically, the most fully equipped models of 2004 Chevy Colorado pickup trucks will have the LT2 equipment package. Chevrolet really proved that it was serious about bringing out a nice truck for its fans

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.
