I’m driving a dark cherry red metallic extended-cab 4x4 Chevy Colorado LS with a 220-hp, 3.5-liter I-5 engine. The Sebring was a great plush car but it’s been time to transform my vehicle situation since we moved out here to the country. After some days of negotiating and walking away from the sales rep’s offers – and holding out for a deal that included a loaded options package, I signed on the line for the Colorado.
The long dirt and gravel road that abruptly descends toward our parking area is impassable for 2WD vehicles when the snow and ice set hard. We needed another 4WD machine to ensure reliable passage. The horses that are in our near-term plan will require hauling food and equipment. The Sebring was ill fit to serve as anything more than a nice ride. This truck fills the bill out here.
