Dem steering wheel controls.... [MENTION=340]Eagle[/MENTION] approves!

Colorado starts at ~$20,050 IIRC

 

[RICH17]

Looks exactly like i thought it would. Interested to see what diesel option they might have

Are we serious with only ONE fucking transmission and engine choice?!

I was in Cancun last week and saw a Ranger, tried to snap a pick but couldn't. Was not a fan of the styling at all, looks really basic. Colorado has it in the styling dept IMO

2.3 4 cylinder EcoBoost. Not sure you’ll be seeing 12s with that motor...

Now if they offer a 2.7T ST version

The 2.7 suv's run bottom 13's with a tuner. I'm just hoping that this will be faster.

I'd rock a Ranger ST with a 3.5L Ecoboost!

See the issues with the Focus RS as why you can’t boost the 2.3 into the stratosphere

Is there an issue with tuned RS's? I only heard about the head gasket issue

UPR went 9.9 @ 137 on a stock motor and turbo, so they can't be that bad.

Really digging this

they need to release pics of the bronco already so a decision can be made

that and interior space will also be a deciding factor

my buddy saw this on 90 east tonight before 53

It's a shame they are using the 2.3 in these. Open deck block will always be a problem for this engine.

No, I was trying to show [MENTION=10105]GTPpower[/MENTION] that there are quite a few issues with 2.3. Maybe not all, but some.

You still haven't posted a single issue.

I Sold the EcoBoost Mustang over the weekend. The 3yr bumper to bumper warranty was ending in Dec so there is no way in shit I'm taking any chances. the list of issues I've had with the Mustang are long. the car has started to make a loud clacking sound when it was cold. Ford said its normal but all the forums out there every car with the cold engine clacking soon throws a rod out of the block. Its even had a complete overhaul of the 6R80 Trans after that failed. All before 25K miles. Bottom line.. I loved how the Mustang looked and handled but damn its a pile of Shit. So I picked up the other vehicle I was looking to buy when I first bought the Mustang... a Chevy Colorado V6.



Nothing fancy. Basic Work truck model with the mid grade touch screen system so I can use apple Car Play. Its got the all new v6 and the 8speed trans. Going to vinyl over the Chevy emblems black and remove the 4x4 stickers then Remove the front lip as well. Other than that its staying stock.

Impressions thus far.. I've got about 100 miles on it and have averaged 20mpg on regular fuel which matches what the Ecoboost used to get on my daily drive. We'll see in the long term how it does. for a truck it feels small and nimble. I have an easier time backing this into spots than I did the mustang. Its got great power too. I've only really stood on it once in 2wd and it smoked the tires. Magazine tests of the heavier and loaded crew cab's with the v6 and 8 speed combo have been doing mid/high 14's with 6.1 0-60. This being a 300lb lighter ext cab should make it just as quick as a stock Ecoboost Mustang... lol! Overall I'm happy with the truck.

Time to clean out the garage and dump off all the random Ecoboost Mustang parts Plus some 18" rims and snow tires.

My 6.0 Chevy makes a loud clanking when cold too.

 

[Yaj Yak]

Shitty

 

[GTPpower]

I'm just saying, I believe all ecoboost motors are open deck. So I'm not sure what that has to do with anything.

 

[Yaj Yak]

I don't even know what the hell we're talking about to be honest.
