The 2009 Chevy Colorado continues it dominance in the small truck market. With its unique I5 engine, the Colorado delivers the power of its six cylinder rivals with better fuel efficiency. The Crew Cab version of this vehicle provides room for 5 passengers, with a decent amount of legroom. The LT1 package on this truck features power windows, tinted glass, chrome wheels, and more. The invoice price is listed at $25,189 with an MSRP of $26,940 and features a 36,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty with a 100,000 mile power train warranty.
This truck has a 3.7L I5 engine with 242 Horsepower and a 4 speed automatic transmission. The EPA rates the fuel efficiency at 16 city 21 highway, though I've noticed that the standards at the EPA had become tighter over the past few years.
