 This is a 2006 Chevrolet Colorado 4x4 5 speed with the 3.5l inline 5 cylinder.  I bought the truck in 2010 and have put most of the miles (highway) on it.  I have maintained and serviced the truck regularly and kept records.   As far as condition, I'll start with the bad.  The front park brake cable (the short one) is in two, so the park brake does not work.  This was a common problem with Colorados.  The muffler cracked around the inlet so I removed the exhaust from the muffler back.  It sounds fine so I left it alone since I am not very good at welding exhaust.  The exhaust comes with the truck.  The sliding part of the back glass broke and has been replaced with plexiglass, which works fine, but I am including a good solid back glass window in the sale.  The heating/cooling blower motor only works on high.  I believe it needs a resistor.  Also, there are a few dings and dents, but nothing major.  The worst is the rear corner behind the bumper. Now for the good.  The truck looks good and runs great.  The engine has always performed flawless and has plenty of power. I pulled trailers with it occasionally, including an 18ft ski boat and never had any trouble.  It consistently got between 18-20 mpg.  The interior is very nice and clean.  Also the 4x4 works every time, and is  hassle-free.  We have some rough winters and truck goes very well in the snow and mud.  The brush guard is not included.  This truck served me well and I know it will make somebody a fine truck,  I just needed something with a few more seats.  Feel free to ask any questions, and I'll do my best to help. Thanks for looking!

Chevy Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo concept blends the past and the future

Wed, 19 Nov 2014

The Chevrolet Chaparral 2X Vision Gran Turismo is the rare concept car that salutes a seminal moment in history, yet also borders on science fiction.
Revealed Wednesday at the Los Angeles Auto Show, the concept uses the name of one of Chevy's historic racing partnerships, with Chaparral Racing, which dates to the 1960s. Chaparrals raced successfully at a range of levels, including IndyCar, Trans-Am and SCCA competition.
But the history ends there, as the concept's main purpose is as a racecar in a downloadable update for the PlayStation 3 game Gran Turismo 6.

GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitch

Mon, 04 Feb 2013

According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
