There are some high-performance dealer-installed or specialty options (such as adding a supercharger), but for red-blooded American compact-truck performance, there’s really only one choice: the Chevrolet Colorado V-8.

While a basic Colorado comes with a choice of a 2.9L I-4 or 3.7L I-5, GM has made V-8 power available in its smallest pickup, providing a truly tantalizing weight-to-power ratio. It is the good of 2009 Chevrolet Colorado.

The other good of this truck is when I tested the truck, a two-wheel-drive crew cab, weighs 4073 lb as equipped and uses a 300-hp, 320-lb-ft version of the company’s 5.3L V-8 backed by a Hydra-Matic 4L60 four-speed auto (that same engine puts out 320 hp in the Tahoe).

In 2005, I bought 1996 Chevrolet C/K 1500. It has great looks and lots of power. The back seat is a little tight but I never sit back there. I Used it for commute and ranch work. For the occassional, It is horse trailer hauling and the 5.7 Vortec Engine was very reliable. It never broke down.

Chevrolet C1500 rarely skips a gas pump (lead foot). My highway mpg with cruise is in the low 20’s (with a T-Cover) The truck is perfect inside and very close on the outside. The only major repair I know of was the 4×4 system overhaul by the previous owner who hauled horses all the time. This is normal for most any 4×4 truck when it is used. It is nice enough to drive to the office and fun enough to haul cubscouts in the local parade. Sound system is excellent.

This has been a rock solid truck and without a doubt the most comfortable I have ever driven. Dollar for Dollar it’s the best full sized truck out there.

In 1900s, delivery of milk use horse and buggy and no means of refrigeration at all to customers in the city and close to the dairy. The next 50 up to 60 years, delivery of milk use Chevrolet C40 heavy truck with AC Condensers.

Chevrolet C40 – 72 was combined with modern truck chassis by Chevrolet known as a “Flat Face Cowl” chassis. These refrigerated truck bodies usually had three inches of insulation on the sides and 4 inches on the ceiling and floor area. The sliding doors in the driver area were designed to be easily opened and closed in a sliding manner.

The refrigeration of these bodies was by a compressor that you plugged in at night and it ran to freeze “cold hold plates” that acted as large ice cubes during the day to keep the milk products cold when operating the door openings properly during delivery.

Staying cool and cozy inside your Chevrolet C40-72 Series Heavy Truck during the summer is easy nowadays. Just furnish your truck with a heavy-duty air conditioning system and you are well on your way to achieving unmatched driving comfort.
