too bad they dont have the 4300 v6 from the old s10's and blazer's. the trucks could really use some more power.
the 3.5 I-5 makes more power then the 4.3 V6.
the I-5 lacks torque. i drove an LS 4WD colorado when they first came out. doesnt even compare to my blazer. the only benefet to the I-5 is the gas mileage.
