2004 Colorado?

sdeeter19555 · January 9, 2018

I'm looking for a daily driver, and found a 2004 Colorado with 180k miles that looks to be in really good condition.

What are some things I should look at that are Colorado-specific? I'm a truck guy, but I also understand each model has their quirks. From what I've read they seem fairly reliable?

I had an 05 that I enjoyed. Does it have the I4 or I5 motor? I4 always lacked power. I remember something about the I5 having motor issues. They seemed to have a bad cylinder head. Never had it happen on mine though. Rotors were a pita because they were pressed on. Truck was designed by Isuzu. Had little quirks like that.

It has an I5, 4wd, 3.73s, extended/crew cab...not a bad looking truck. I might see if I can get around to a test drive...

Drive it around and check for CEL. Check 355nation.net for some help if you have anymore questions. The guys over there are really informative and have a lot of good how tos for maintenance and such. Good luck if you get it

Definitely a good reliable vehicle, if It's been well cared for you could easily get quite a few more miles out of it. If you like the price I would say go for it.
