Very Rare, Well Maintained, Reliable, Great Running Car In Great Overall Shape on 2040-cars
McLean, Virginia, United States
THIS IS A RARE FIND! Great diesel family car with a lot of life left. The engine has been well maintained by reputable diesel mechanic. All common 6.5L issues have been addressed, leaving a beast of a car that will outlive us all. No rust issues - wheel wells are clean, around doors, etc. Of course, it's 18 years old and doesn't fit in most garages, so it's been exposed to the elements and it shows: paint is chipping in spots and should eventually be repainted to prevent rust from building up and spreading. Overall, body is straight with no dents or dings.
Upgraded with modern - oversized wheels from a late-model Chevy truck - looks much better than stock I think. We have owned this for almost 10 years and have treated it with love - and have had it serviced regularly. No known mechanical defects that need to be addressed. I have had some major updates: new AC condenser, fuel pump and fuel filters replaced, transmission repaired, transfer case drained/cleaned and gears replaced, suspension parts replaced (control arms, steering arms, etc.). Too many others to list. Bottom line, it's running smooth without any needed mechanical fixes needed. She's ready to roll as-is. It has served us really well as our annual road trip mobile...super comfortable on the highway, with lots of room for everyone to move around. Great fuel economy for such a big car. Great hauler: when kids were smaller, we pulled a 20' trailer for our annual beach trip and it never skipped a beat - you forget the trailer is even there. Clean interior, new leather seat cover was installed on driver's side. I have the new cover for the passenger's side, but haven't had a chance to install. Can do ahead of delivery - or convey to owner (passenger's seat is in OK shape so it's not been a priority for me). The rest of the seats are in great condition - no rips, tears, stains in the leather. The following is the full list of "issues" I know of:

2015 Chevy Colorado to start at $20,100*, GMC Canyon at $20,995**
Tue, 05 Aug 2014General Motors has just announced pricing for its new midsize pickup trucks, the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. Chevy's truck starts at $20,100, *not including $895 for destination, and the GMC starts at $20,995, **not including $925 for destination. These prices are for the base, extended cab models with the 200-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline four-cylinder engine.
Comparatively, these prices fit nicely with the $18,125 starting MSRP of the Toyota Tacoma and the $21,510 of the Nissan Frontier. Compared to the Colorado, the Canyon's extra $895 gets you niceties like LED running lamps, 16-inch alloy wheels, and a four-way power driver's seat.
Both trucks come standard with the 2.5-liter engine, and a more powerful, 305-hp 3.6-liter V6 will also be available. Pricing has not been announced for the upcoming diesel model, which is expected to launch for the 2016 model year.
PickupTrucks.com's latest test results in a familiar winner [w/video]
Wed, 19 Jun 2013PickupTrucks.com has gone and thrown the latest batch of half-ton pickups into a cage match to see who would come out on top. The site put the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, 2013 Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan through a battery of tests. Those included 0-60 miles per hour acceleration, 60-0 mph deceleration, fuel economy, a hill climb, and payload and towing. They even threw the rigs on an autocross course to evaluate overall handling. Each truck was given points based on how it scored in each evaluation.
Who came out on top? Somewhat surprisingly, the 2013 Ford F-150 walked away with the gold, though fewer than 50 points separated first and fourth place. Head over to PickupTrucks.com to read the full evaluation and the final results. You may be shocked to see exactly where some of the segment's newest additions placed. You can also watch a video on the test below.
GM thinks Colorado and Canyon midsize trucks will lure crossover buyers
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The invitation to come out and sample product at the General Motors Proving Grounds in Milford, MI is rarely dull, and after spending this morning driving preproduction versions of the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon all we can say is... under strict embargo. Sorry, America, we were as excited as many of you are to learn more about GM's new midsize truck range and take note of how they go down the road, but it's going to be September before we're allowed to share that with all of you. Here's to sweet suspense.
While we might not be able to talk about refinement or handling yet, we did find some of the product positioning and marketing statements from GMC and Chevy officials on hand at the program to be pretty interesting.
Of course, we all know that the literal competitive set for Canyon and Colorado is comprised of two comparatively ancient Japanese midsize trucks: the Toyota Tacoma (which currently owns this segment) and the Nissan Frontier. The Frontier's bones are as old as the 2005 model year, with 2009 marking the last time the truck was updated. The Taco was also launched in 2005, though it did see a freshening for 2012. The point remains that, in every facet from powertrain to dash plastics, the GM midsize truck twins are going to look positively space age by comparison when they hit the market for MY 2015.
