Can anyone tell me the years and production numbers when chevy put the small block in the Colorado

2009 -2012 total was approx 11,000 built Colorao and Canyons over the who model line
including the ZQ8 (lowered 2-wheel drive)

2009 the first year there were 1,009 Colorados and 515 Canyons built
after that GM would not disclose numbers for some reason

2009 was the only year you could get a sunroof and leather with your V8

They were expensive and did not sell very well. If I recall they were just over $30,000,

Also the present Colorado V6 is faster than the V8 was then so it was not really a performance truck like a Trailblazer SS.

Sales in the last years were really low. If you see one it is a rare truck and if it is in good condition even more rare.

I learn something new about the 1st Gens everyday it seems.

Beautiful truck there . . . . Nice and clean in the pics.

Bet it sounds real nice too.

I had a 2004 and 2010. . . but no V8. Still like a lot about those 1st Gens . . Seats were way better than our 2nd gens. Even better than the 2nd Gen Denali seats.

Thank you. These were taken back in Novemeber this year. The exhaust has a bit of rumble but nothing crazy. Thought about a 3 chamber Flowmaster but left it totally stock other than a K& N. Gears though are 4.10 from the factory, so it jumps a little. I wished a 5.3 would still be a option for this new Gen 3 but we know that won't happen. At least in a sleeper version. It's been a fun ride over the years.

Only big @$$es have issues fitting in 2nd Gen seats.

The Denalis are literally the coolest seats

don't forget the 2009-2010 Hummer Apha 3T with the same motor/engine.
They made approx 2,700 H3T's but no idea how many were the Alpha model with the V8

I almost bought one of these. But worried with Hummer going away that the values would tank. These today are going for big money. Even high miles if it is clean.

I looked at them when they debuted them at the car show and no under seat rear storage and the rear seat did not fold down either,

I mentioned that to a GM person and they called another person over and they went hmmmmm

I may list mine on B.A.T. later in the spring when I get a better date for my build.
