Getting 24 Miles a Gallon: Is the 2004 Chevrolet Colorado Z85 LS Better than Last Year?
Chevrolet Colorado Engine Specs: The Colorado Z85 LS comes outfitted with a 2.8 liter, 4-cylinder motor that uses 16 valves. The engine, manufactured by General Motors, is mated to a five-speed transmission by Aisin. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.
Steering control is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The Colorado comes equipped with 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.
