demonspeeding42069 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 im sure alot of you have trucks ... what kind of truck do you have and what kinda gas mileage does it get ???? im lookin to buy a new truck this summer but am having mixed feelins about what to get, im a chevy guy myself but... chevy seems to be more expensive then fords, and i also like the looks of the new fords, but then there is the gas mileage thing... so maybe i should go with a chevy colorado ? or gmc canyon? also if u know any known problems with them let me know ... that will help me choose also .. choose one: ( keep in mind price + qaulity ) wanna try for $20,000 to $29,000 or less lol 1. ford f 150 with off road package crew cab 2. chevy 1500 crew cab 3. chevy colorado 4. gmc canyon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

y2kbanshee9187 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Hmmmm.....You thought of a diesel or a Toyota? I had a Dodge 1500 and it was not good at all on gas. Dont know about the others....You shouldnt have a problem finding something nice for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

millzy555 Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 What is it with you yanks about huge trucks. Best ute you can buy is either a Holden SS or a Ford falcon. Great for long drives and doesn't cost you a bomb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuadingIsLife Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have an underwater camera just in case I crash my truck into a river, and at the last minute I see a photo opportunity of a fish that I have never seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banshee17Racing Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 25 mph in the city w/ my 2.2 s-10....not too sure what kind of motors are in the Colorados. I would ask yourself if you really NEED a v8 4x4. I would love a full-size 4x4...but being a commuting college student w/ a part time job, that wouldn't be a very smart investment. The colorados are starting to grow on me, I didn't like 'em at first. (I'm buying a 2500 ram as soon as I get out of school!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MILO Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 i have a full size 93 blazer, 350. yeah is sucks the gas down, about 12-14 mpg, but i will never have another little truck again. had an s-10 with a 2.5l. it barely pulled itself up a hill much less with my banshee on the back. i guess it depends on what you want it for, if your gonna do any towing/hauling. my blazer is my 4x4, family vehicle, and powerhouse all in one. serves any purpose. i wouldn't be happy with anything smaller, even if it did save me $$ on gas.

STLBILL Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I gave up on domestic vehicles. Quality is poor and resale value is a sin. I need a trailer for my ride otherwise I'd look at the new Honda Ridgeline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SICK BOY Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 The Canyon and the Colorado are the same truck other then a few cosmetics.My wife has a 03 Chevy Trailblazer EXT,and I drive a 89 Chevy Silverado.My 89 isn't the best to look at,but it has 605,000 miles on it.It's been rebuilt befor,but that's alot of miles for a truck.

jadaven Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have a 2000 silverado reg cab short bed. I get between 12 and 16 mpg empty. Its nice to have the v8 but man i tell you what it hits the wallet hard it costs like 260 a month to put gas in it. thats more than my insurance. i dont think i'll have a 4banger again been down that road no power at all.
