I have a 2004 chevrolet colardo 4x4 LS and I am having the same annoying wobbling on the passenger seat. Also, mine only gets 17, or 18 miles to the gallon. How much does yours get?

Do you think it's better to go with a spray on liner rather than a removable one? The only issue i see being a problem with the removable one is the potential for water getting trapped between the bed and the liner!

Thanks. Any ideas as to how to get some nice bass in the cabin? I'm toying with the idea of a custom built box between the end of the back seat and the beginning of the arm rest counsel!

Does anybody with Colorado have any new or different exhaust system. I want to make my truck louder, but with the new type engine(5 cylinder), I'm not sure if it would sound good or not

I had the removable liner on my first truck (more years than I care to admit ago). Water wasn't a problem but dirt & debris get under it and it "sands" the paint off the contact areas. Unless you pin in down at some points it can also move a bit as you load/unload. You can also crack/split/damage the removable liner.
After trying the spray in (my 3rd truck with it, I'd never get a removable again.

fuel economy

My first tank of gas has yielded good fuel economy on my 4 banger 5 speed ext cab. I averaged 21 mpg with mostly city/suburban driving but also a few short stints on the highway going 80 mph. I'm quite impressed considering the engine only has 400 miles on it. I hope to achieve a 24-25 mpg average once the engine is fully broken in.
Otherwise, everything else is going well. My only complaint with the truck is the visible shaking of the passenger seat and the shifter above 40 mph. I imagine the General tires are to blame, but since the steering and ride isn't affected, I won't worry about it for now. So far, this Chevy has had outstanding initial build quality.

>>The Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon, which debuted last year, could not unseat the best-selling Ford Ranger in the compact pickup segment, even though the Ranger has remained virtually the same since 2001.<< The Ranger usually loses the comparo tests, but is almost always described as a "decent" choice. Faint praise BUT -- for someone who wants to pick up a manly, utilitarian runabout the Ranger's price is very attractive. The Ford dealer down the road from me now has a line of new 4wd, 4.0, F1s in his lot with prices chalked on the windshield below $17K. MSRPs are $27+. So for many, the Big Q is, what would you rather have, a 2005 Whatever, or a 2005 Ranger PLUS $10,000 in your jeans? Well, it would make me think.

I've been getting between 19 and 21...depending on conditions...I use it for commuting mostly, but will be off-roading on the weekends all summer...we'll see how it manages at low speeds. Took it in three times for the seat wobble...nothing they can do. Perhaps I can retrofit some tighter seats from a different model. Seems like a lot of people talking about Rangers on here..."shudder" I'd rather have my Colorado than a ranger any day...regardless of price or options...I got a great deal on my Colorado....Sticker was $25,300...got it for $17,500 before tax. I still think the styling is the best out there after seeing the new 05 Tacoma, Nissan, and Dodge. Fit and finish could use some serious improvement though. Anyone out there try 31x10.5's on their Colorado 4x4 yet?!? I'm thinking about it, but it's gonna be a tight fit...
