    High mileage Tahoe. Should I pass?

    It's $4800!? So what are you expecting? My 2003 Suburban has about 260K miles with no issues thus far, and I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country A rebuilt instrument cluster is under $150, so no big deal.... and you can rebuild each gauge that fails for under $15 (replace bad stepper...

    The 2015 Chevy Colorado build and price is up. Anyone excited? Anyone ordered?

    I don't think a preference for manual transmissions makes that list. However, it's getting harder and harder to make that a criteria for purchase.

    The 2015 Chevy Colorado build and price is up. Anyone excited? Anyone ordered?

    The 2015 Colorado Crew Cab 3.6L auto 2WD with 6.5 bed has a curb weight 4,266 lbs, and has a 6,000 pound GVWR....so 1,734 lb max payload as a 2WD. If the 4WD version adds as much weight as it does in a Silverado, then subtract 244 pounds..... my guess is the Colorado Crew Long 4x4 would have a...

    Agreed. I'd personally buy a Silverado Double Cab 6.5' box compared to a Colorado Crew Cab 6.5' box...... did you realize they made a Colorado Crew with a 6.5 bed?

    Ah, extended cabs.... more trucks no one buys. And applying the current $2,750 rebate to the 2014 Silverado now that the 2015s are arriving... great apples to apples comparison!

    Note: Colorado Crew WT 4x4 $30,580 MSRP before discounts/rebates Note Silverado Crew WT 4x4 $37,945 MSRP before discounts/rebates I have no clue what versions Clutch was building.... not 4x4? Not Crew Cabs? Who knows...

    Remove $770 from the Silverado and $525 from the Colorado then. Closes the gap all of $245.... still over $7,200 difference

    Out of curiosity, I went on Chevy's site and built WT versions: 2015 Colorado Crew Cab Short Box WT 4x4 3.6L V6 with Trailer Tow and Locking Rear -- $31,155 MSRP 2014 Silverado Crew Cab Short Box WT 4x4 4.3L V6 with Trailer Tow and Locking Rear -- $38,715 MSRP Unless my calculator is broken...

    I'm talking about retail consumer sales. Sure, fleets and service vehicles will buy strippos. But you won't see many on most dealer's lots.

    I'd compare the 85th percentile sellers, not obscure enthusiast trucks. And compare MSRP to MSRP as that's the only constant. Rebates and incentives will always vary. The best selling (retail consumer) Silverado is a Crew Cab 4x4 5'8" box LT with a 5.3L V8, convenience pkg, tow, and locker --...

    A normally equipped Silverado Crew Cab 4x4 5.3 V8 is in the mid forties, and a "well-appointed" (LTZ, High Country) are high forties to low fifties (and beyond). A normally equipped Colorado Crew Cab 4x4 3.6 V6 is in the mid thirties I can't imagine that the 2.8 I4 Duramax Diesel will add $10K...

    Fuel economy doesn't really appear to be why people buy the mid-size trucks. Take the Tacoma, it gets worse than a modern full size. Comparing a Silverado and Colorado, the smaller truck is $10,000 to $15,000 less expensive. That's a fair size chunk of change. A little smaller, a little better...

    How would a 2.7 EcoBoost get 27mpg highway, when a 3.5L EcoBoost can only get 21mpg highway?

    F150 Ecoboost vs 5.0 in the hills

    If I were buying a Ford truck, I'd be going with the 5.0L If I were free to choose any truck, it would be the new GM with the 6.2L. 420hp, 460lb-ft, and better fuel economy than the 5.0L, in a simpler, lighter truck

    The diesel is a $2400 premium..... at 11 mpg better than the 3.0T gas, that might be recouped quite quickly. $67K is what this class of car goes for nowadays, Mercedes E-class, BMW 5 series, Cadillac CTS, etc..... all $60K+

    With 100 respondents to the poll, we're at 77 Yes, and 23 No. I'd say that is a fairly clear statement
