What Edmunds Says
It has the size, the features and the looks necessary to become the dominant truck in the compact class -- just don't mistake it for a midsize.
Pros
Versatile size, strong engine lineup, available side curtain airbags and locking differential, standard ABS.
Cons
Still not as big as a Dakota, no V8 option, can't tow as much as the competition.

What's New for 2004
The Colorado is an all-new compact pickup from Chevrolet.
Review
This replacement for the aged S-10 compact pickup will have a larger overall size and a new range of four- and five-cylinder engines derived from the 4.2-liter in-line six-cylinder currently sold in the TrailBlazer SUV. Expect standard, extended, and crew cab bodystyles and an interior that draws heavily from the General Motors corporate parts bin.
