Talk:Chevrolet Colorado

someone help
I added information for the VM Motori engine used in markets outside north america but I've transposed the headings for engines and American production, sorry. Can anyone fix this ? 101.178.163.92 (talk) 03:43, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Last American Compact truck?
I have been reading for the last several days, and noticed that Chrysler and Ford have both stopped making their compact trucks. The Ranger and Dakota are gone, leaving the entire industry to Japanese trucks such as the Tacoma and the Frontier, and the newest Colorado/Canyon. Is this a significant change in the Colorado's place in the world? This is the last US-made small truck? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.53.19.144 (talk) 01:38, 26 May 2012 (UTC)

External link
I added the Canyon link (sorry I was logged out) because the GMC Canyon Page redirects here. Bok269 03:03, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

If adding an external link to another site is in violation; then it is suggested that this protocol be carried out on all external websites links. When people add links to sites that contain content far greater than those which are already listed and "moderators" of the section remove them it seems quite biased.

Radoforum.com
Radoforum.com was re added in external links. It was re-added due to the technical content and information availible. Since it is a site dealing in information pertaining to GMT355's it is acceptable. Thank you. --Kevincolin 19:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

removed line
Removed the following line from the "TV and move appearances" section, Someone may want ot try and fit it into the corr3ect section of the article.

The Colorado, in 2006 models also featured an engine upgrade from the 3.5L Inline 5 to a 3.7L inline 5. Improbcat 19:12, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Was Canyon going to be GMC Avalanche?
I may not be remembering correctly, but I thought I read that the Canyon was going to be the GMC version of the Avalanche a couple of years before it came out. Can anyone confirm or deny this? If it was, it should probably be added to the article. Citadel18080 17:05, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Engine Problems
The untried I-5 engine is a shortened inline six cylinder to five and has suffered notoriously from misfiring and poor valve seating. Typically GM has responded by replacing cylinder heads manufactured from hardened alloys, although the part is often backordered weeks or months. Often the problem is cannot corrected by the dealership. There should be a mention of this in the article, since the Colorado debuted this engine and the engine problemhas been widespread and newsworthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.9.199.162 (talk) 17:47, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

V8 confirmed
GMC has announced that the v8 in the Cayon will no doubt be the 5.3L V8(yes this is the one with active fule manegment), and it will be avalible early 2008. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.157.244.43 (talk) 22:35, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Edits
Greetings, To help improve citations for the history and general information of the vehicle, the Edmunds Chevrolet Colorado and Edmunds Chevrolet Colorado History pages could be a good verifiable third-party resource that could be used to cite information that is already included in the entry.

Merger Proposal
I, VX1NG, propose that the Isuzu i-Series be merged into this article. My reasoning is the i-Series is just another rebadged variant of the Colorado like the Canyon. Regards, VX1NG (talk) 14:43, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

 * The Isuzu I series is identical to the Thai built (International) Colorado except for a single grille moulding. Isuzu changed the terms of its agreement with GM and decided to market the vehicle in its own dealerships.  The International Colorado was principally designed by GM, with diesel engines and some other components being supplied by Isuzu, the petrol four and V6 were supplied by Opel.
 * The Colorado was being sold as a Holden Rodeo in Australia and NZ and changed to Colorado because the Rodeo name was owned by Isuzu. So previous models of the Colorado made in Thailand (which differs from the American models) are referred to as "Holden Rodeo" in Wkipedia.
 * For the next International model which uses the VM Motori engine, Isuzu built a different factory and sold the "Isuzu D-Max" using the GM bodyshell but Isuzu drivetrain components .101.178.163.92 (talk) 02:49, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

Consumption in l/100 km ?
...seems like a relevant ball mark figure.--SvenAERTS (talk) 13:05, 30 January 2016 (UTC)

Compact or midsize
Which is it? I think it'd be midsize since it competes with the Tacoma, Frontier & the globally sold Ford Ranger. Matthew Cantrell (talk) 00:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC) Matthew Cantrell (talk) 00:31, 3 April 2016 (UTC)


 * The first generation Colorado is a Mid-size.

In a pressroom profile for the 2004 Colorado, Chevrolet boasts "All-new mid-size pickup". This archived profile includes a lot of information on the 2004 model year, and Chevrolet also provides these for proceeding model years. Chaysegr (talk) 02:10, 2 January 2022 (UTC)


 * The link you provided has no webpage.The first-generation Colorado is generally the same size as the Ford Ranger of the time and noticeably smaller than the Dodge Dakota, which was what defined a mid-size pickup in the first place. The Colorado is only slightly larger than the S-10 it replaced, so it is still a compact pickup. --Sable232 (talk) 22:58, 3 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Apologies for the bad link from months ago. I have fixed the formatting on the link, I think something went awry with my formatting when transferring the link. The link I provided was supposed to be . I have also included an easier to read webpage for the 2009 model year from the GM press release. Chaysegr (talk) 00:16, 12 August 2022 (UTC)
