PART 2
The tires were quite noisy on the test drive but will get worse as they wear, as there is no real noise insulation I found out later on the net,
The accelerator pedal is REAL CLOSE TO THE TUNNEL, so much so that you have to cant your foot at an odd angle in order to drive the truck, see for yourself at a local dealer near you, quite disconcerting
OK what about a test drive, yes took one out for 45 minutes down to the local rifle range, mostly pavement except the last 2 miles.
Noticed the lack of power somewhat, the gas pedal to close to the tunnel, the dirt on the door handle, the tranny hunting for a gear,
BUT THOUGHT I COULD LIVE WITH IT AS THE F350 was just way to big,
Guess I was wrong, completely wrong and the new F150 fits the bill for me,
Not saying the Colorado is garbage just not for me and watch what you do on the test drive,
Got too excited on the trade in and net difference of only 6 grand from a 2011 F350 to the Colorado, should have waited a week or rented a Colorado
This truck is fine if you want to be swarmed by young uns at the local gas station and beer emporium, but not for me.
Later eh
