I've been looking into the base Colorado both in regular cab and extended cab. I've noticed on the Chevy sight that you get manual seat recliners as an upgrade when you get the LS model. What I want to know is, do the base models seriously lack the ability to adjust the angle of the seatback??? How could any car in this day and age not offer this simple feature, especially one that costs 15k? I would think its not only a comfort issue but also a safety issue. Anyone have a base model and can confirm this? I wanted a cheap truck, but not THAT cheap. I would really rather not get the LS model since here in the southeast, they offer a special appearance package that comes with the LS alloy wheels, carpeting, fog lights, body color bumpers, leather wrapped wheel, and full size spare for $350. Quite a good deal I thought. |

I just thought I should let Colorado shoppers know that Edmund's pricing is currently $600 too high. If you rely on their numbers, you will be paying $600 too much. I have sent an email notifying them of the problem but who knows how long it will take for them to change it. I discovered the goof after comparing Edmund's base MSRP with that shown on Chevy's website, as well as trucks I've seen on the lot.

I don't think that's the case here. Edmunds has had the same price listed for the past 3 months. I looked at 05 Colorados all around Florida. They all reflect the same base price. 05 models didn't start hitting the lots till about November so I think there has been a decrease in price that Edmunds is not aware of. If there was an increase, wouldn't Chevy's build your own feature reflect the new higher price? That feature doesn't look at the trucks that have been sitting on the lot for awhile. They also had goofs in their optional equipment list, some they just recently fixed. In January, they didn't list the optional power sunroof, which was available late 04 according to Chevy. They just added it last week. They still don't list the optional appearance package and don't disclose what the convenience package includes. I've always been impressed with Edmunds vehicle info but it appears to be lacking here. |

Replying to: dirkwork (Feb 09, 2005 9:24 pm) I have a Colorado Regular Cab 4x4 LS (not easy to find in SoCal) and have noticed a highly irritating little quirk...the passenger seat likes to "dance" while off-roading or driving on these horribly pot-hole ridden San Diego streets. I've taken it in 3 times now, and it still wobbles...acts like it has to take a wizz or something! Anyone else have the wiggle-seat issue with their Colorado? I never had this prob in my 95 S-10 4x4. Other than that, I really like the little guy. 20+MPG out of a 4x4 is amazing indeed...interior space in the regular cab blows the competition away... I off-road in the Desert, and the only off-road issue I had was that the rear tires rubbed against the "plastic" lining along the inside-edge of the wheel-well...making a terrible noise when one side was all the way up and the other was all the way down (the type of crap my Jeep could take easily). No real damage or anything. I had a Sierra 4x2 and a Jeep Wrangler...got the Colorado cause my wife needed an automatic (knee problems). The locking rear dif is a huge improvement over my Sierra...and although my Jeep got really crappy mileage, it off-roaded like a beast (to be expected). I off-road for work in the summers and am worried my passenger seat is going to leap out the window if I dont get it fixed somehow... Planning on getting a set of BF Goodrich TA's...the ones on my S-10 rubbed the frame....anyone out there with a z-71 4x4 tried 31's on their Colorado/Canyon? |

Replying to: islandcorner (Dec 04, 2004 8:42 pm) I love my truck because it did so well when we had a very bar rain storm and there were boulders in the highway rolling down from the cliff. I placed it in 4 wheel and easily manuvered around and through those bolders and foot of water. I'll regularly post to see if any of the complaints made by the others ever develop on my truck. |

does anybody know if Gm is Offering any loyalty rebate on colorado/canyon, If im correct about 1month ago, they were, and it didn't matter if you traded Your current Gm in or not, in my case we have a 1995 Lesabre Buick, Im wondering if its to old or not the right model, or how it works? if anybody knows anything about GM loyalty rebates, but in our case we would trade it and on top of that hopefully get a Loyalty rebate...I know the Canyon has a 2,000 reabte currently, Im wondering if that includes a discount and loyalty rebate, for financing with GMAC? Confused, any help, Thanks Sean

Just wanted to as my comments about the recent issues with water leaks in the Colorado. I have a 4X4 Ext Cab Z71. Right from the beginning I had the water leak that ran down the inside drivers side kick plate. Took it in and the dealer recognized this as a "known" problem and they were happy to fix it for me. They did have to order a new part though which took a little while. It turns out it was 2 seals that were not put together right. The top left seal on the windshield and the area below the windshield wipers. Other then this I have not had any problems at all. No vibrations, no A/C issues, no problems at all. Love the truck! I have 10,000 miles and have taken it off-road and on long road trips. Very satisfied! |

| Add this problem to the list- Blower Motor When it's below freezing my blower motor for the heater sounds like your dragging a plastic trash can down the driveway. Once the truck warms up, the noise goes away. | |
