Man there is alot of Colorado hating going on. I had a 2005 ls 4x4 crew cab and I loved it and the only reason I don't have it any more is I rolled in in a snow storm. True it was a little under powered with the i5 but 2009s and later you can get them with a 5.3

Yep it's a toned down 5.3 but 300hp is still respectable

I personally like the Colorados, and would love a crew cab 4x4, and the 5.3 would definetly be a nice feature!
The 5.3 is a great motor, powers my dads 06 crew cab 4x4 1500, gets 20 MPG has 105k on it already, problem free, and plenty of power!

Good choice.You can't go wrong with the old 7.3.Most reliable Powerstroke they made.
