I've recovered from my "burn-out", although the desire to spend less time in wrecking yards pulling parts is still with me. I've considered getting rid of the F-150, and buying a new Chevy Colorado. There are substantial discounts at the moment, and it seems like a decent truck. Does anyone have any experience with them? I wouldn't expect it to tow my Camaro, but it would be a good parts chaser/daily driver/surf fishing companion. Still seems a little odd with a 5 cylinder engine, though.

I drove the Colorado and liked it, but for less than 15,000 I can buy a Silverado. It's a 4.3 V-6 auto, ( I tow very little, and not very far), but I wonder how it is on gas, hauling and towing when I need to. My short bed '84 F-150 4x4 with a 351-4bbl, is a little "twitchy" towing. I liked my '86 2wd, 300 cid 6, long bed better. Your thoughts?
