I'm thinking replacing my personal truck. I was look to replace my Dakota but you cant get a V8 any more http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cry.gif. If I have to get a small engine. I might as well look at the I5. I just bought the D/a in work truck so I'm not looking for a 2nd $500. a month payment.

We have a few of them on our lot and i have driven them. They are pretty cool rides roomy too for a small truck. Go test drive one you will like it.

One of my coworkers has a Colorado. The power is very surprising for that little motor. Very torquey(is that a word?http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Confused.gif) for a small engine. It's a decent little ride. It's a big improvement in cab space over the s10 I used to use to drive to work before I moved closer.

That I 5 is a mean little engine, it's a band-sawed version of the 4.2 I6 that's in the Envoy/Trailblazer/Bravada/Rainer/Ascender.

Too bad those boneheads at GM didn't put a diesel in it like the Holden Rodeo in Australia or the Isuzu D-max in Thialand.....they'll never learn.

I'm saving for a diesel Bronco, it comes with N2O...that'll make it buck!!

It's a concept for now. Do a search, I posted a link about it, but some little girl didn't like where I put it....

Ox,

Will do. What I would love to have is a D/A H2. http://www.dieselplace.com/forum/smileys/Cool.gif

Yeah, an H2 with D/A would be alright. I think those H2 are a joke IMO though....Over priced, over wieght burb with nothing in common with the H1. A great money maker for GM though...

I saw a Canyon prototype today in the wind tunnel/test area at work. It was a 2wd sporting 20' rims and ground affects. Looked pretty sharp if you ignored all the damage done by the testers.
