I've been thinking about trading my '04 monte ss supercharged (Dale Jr. Edition) for a 2011 colorado LT (2.9 liter 4 cylinder, 5 speed manual, 2wd, 9k miles, no wrecks) Anyone know of any problems with these? Or just comments about these trucks) I've found a deal that I don't think I can pass up. THANKS!

 

Honestly i dont really like them much ive driven a few & just didnt really care for the interior or the ride, but hey if you like em sounds like a decent truck

 

I've heard about the quality of the interior, (just like the cobalt) but I must say I like (and would much rather have) the manual windows, locks, mirrors, seats, and manual transmission, cuz they are much more reliable. And much lighter too. I haven't test drove it yet, but I can't make up my mind lol. My monte has almost 149k miles. I want something with little to no miles.

 

It's worth more then you car on paper but I wouldn't want to do it.

 

I have a Colorado at work. It is a basic truck. It doesn't have many miles and it might be two years old. The ride isn't very good. The fit and finish is poor. The only thing I do like about the truck is that it's got some get up and go. I have never lifted the hood so I don't know what's under there. I think your Monte is a better car than the Colorado.

 

Uhhh i hate it its slow as hell and has a big problem with the ignition coils, one guy i work with says his new Colorado gets average 15 mpg from a 4 cylinder.....

 

I'm not crazy about the Colorado. JMO, but if I'm buying a truck, I want to be able to haul stuff with it. Can't really haul much with a 4 cylinder. When I was looking at trucks, I was looking at the Silverado and Sierra.

 

Guy I work with has an older one and doesn't like it at all.

 

I'd keep the Monte - better hp & better traction in the snow.

 

+1. Do you plan on actually using the bed of the truck? Or, do you just like the looks of a pickup?

IMO, keep the Monte.
