Vehicle Summary

It wasn't the most auspicious debut for a pickup. When four of the five midsize truck manufacturers introduced new small pickups in 2004-05, GM introduced the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon, and in so doing gave up two decades of equity in the popular S-10 brand to rename its compact truck. Chevy also stepped away from the norm to offer a dual overhead camshaft and inline-five-cylinder engine rather than a traditional V-6. Then came new trucks from Dodge, Toyota and Nissan — all with more horsepower and towing capacity.   Read more
