A Better 2007′s Model: The 2008 Chevrolet Colorado LS
As time has gone by several things can be said about the Chevrolet Colorado series: including the strong reaction most buyers have towards their truck. The 4-cylinder engine is at the core of the strong emotions, it is reliable for its class and delivers a huge amount of torque.
Chevrolet Colorado Engine Specs
The Colorado LS is equipped with a General Motors 2.9 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Colorado has power-assisted brakes, with 4-Wheel ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. The truck uses coil front springs and leaf in the rear.
Vehicle Statistics
The dimensions of the Colorado LS are 67.60 inches wide by 207.10 inches long. It sits a comfortable 65.20 inches off the ground. It seats a standard six passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 126.00 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $21,390 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $20,000. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Standard Cab Pickup.
Fuel Efficiency
The fuel system for the 2008 Colorado is a SFI design, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel flow is regulated by a electronic system and is a fuel-injected MFI design. The storage capacity of the fuel tank is 19.00 gallons.
The Colorado LS received a miles-per-gallon rating of 17 - 20 in-city driving and 23 - 26 when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green truck, this was exceptional.
