Insight Into the Chevrolet Colorado for 2008
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 5-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
Chevrolet Colorado Engine Specs: The Colorado LT comes outfitted with a 3.7 liter, 5-cylinder motor that uses 20 valves. The engine, manufactured by General Motors, is teamed up with a Aisin 5-speed transmission. This arrangement has demonstrated to be an effective style for Chevrolet.
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.
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 torsion bar front springs and leaf in the rear.
Vehicle Statistics
The Colorado is 207.10 inches long, 67.60 inches wide, and 65.20 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 126.00 inches. It is able to seat 6 comfortably.
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 4-door Crew Cab Pickup.
The standard warranty period for the Colorado is 36 months, or 36,000 miles, whichever comes first. This is standard in the crew cab pickup market.
Fuel Efficiency
The Colorado LT 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.
