First of all, my truck is the 4.3L, 4Spd automatic trans, ZQ8 suspension, locking diff (which isn't listed in drop-down style options). If you are planning on towing anything avoid the ZQ8 package because it isn't designed for towing. The engine gives me about 17-20 MPG which is as advertised.

I bought the truck a couple of months ago and love it. The fit and finish is good, the truck drives and looks great. I have gotten many comments on the looks of the truck. So far so good!

I love the looks of this truck. The colorados came out as a follow up for the ZR2. To me it just didn’t have the appeal of the ZR2. The interior design,the comfort and reliability. I bought a 2012 Silverado but ended up letting my son use it and I just continue to drive my ZR2. It has 193,000 miles on it and running strong. Takes just 2 cranks to start it. Has the original starter. I have replaced the alternator, and fuel pump. Needs a little cosmetic work which I am doing a little bit at a time. I love the ZR2’s

Red firewood hauler

Wish more manual transmissions were available, but being an automatic transmission is the only variation from exactly what I was looking for. Small S10, but with extended cab to carry wedges and such for processing firewood. Of course 4wd is mandatory in the woods. Spare tire was missing but scissor jack was there. A piece of tail gate molding trim was also missing. The truck had plenty of documentation of past oil changes and such. Mileage was 130,000 miles which seemed moderate.

for me - strickly a younger persons truck - engine and transmission were loud - off road tires areloud and throws slush/mud/water up onto itself - making it impossible to keep clean especially in winter

The LU3 seems stronger than my 98 LF6 4x4. This truck is absolutly perfectly designed and it demands respect.I purchaed it used knowing that it will be a while until GM makes a small truck that has that stop and stare effect. Brakes, drive train, power, and build quality is Q1. Frist owner drove it all highway 30K in 15 months. I found two problems after it was deliverd. Steering box upper seal weeps and muffler comming apart inside. Dealer fixed at no charge. Team Chevolet (GA) has very good and knowlegable service department.
