5/7 on the front now. I need some nicer weather to do the rear now.
Detroit, can you get the integrated trailer brake controller added as an accessory?
No, too much tear-up required.
What are you towing? Most rental trailers have surge brakes that work 5/7.
That’s kinda what I figured.
Just towing rental trailers for now, but was asking for the future in case I get something needing electric brakes.

It's amazing how something so simple as a logo color change can make such a big impact on the look of the truck.
Yep.
I think the Camaro looked MUCH better without all the badges. I pulled the front and rear SS emblems, side emblems, and rear bow tie.
Going to do mostly the same on the ZR2... Might leave the ZR2 in the grille if it doesn't come off easy like the 1LE's did, and undecided on the rear bow tie still.. but the "COLORADO" and V6 emblems are coming off.
Camaro looked 5/7 without any emblems. My thought is there is too much flat real estate to not have anything on the Colorado’s tail gate.

Could be. I'm going to decide after I take everything else off.

The ZR2 plinth in the grille has a backing area...so take it off and there will be a square in the grille where it was.
The other stuff...yea agreed. Though I think losing the rear bowtie would make the truck look weird.
Interesting. On the Camaro is was nice, the SS emblem just slid over the grille and clipped on. When I removed it, it was like it was never there.

I'd add the Chebby logo back to the Camaro if it was mine, but otherwise like the badgeless look.
I always take the trim/model badges off of my cars.
IMO it was too large for the small trunk lid. Thats why I never put the black one on.

A 2.7L is a MASSIVE 4 cyl. It's also not the volume engine, that's still the V8. This only exists to offset CAFE. 100%
It does make more power and torque than the 4.3 V6

It is. At first I was like
when it kept blinking then it made sense as I kept using it. Really a 5/7 feature.

You don’t need to hookup electrical when pulling someone out of the mud.

Don't 4's that big run rough, or do balance shafts cure that?

Would be a good engine addition to the Colorado lineup. The thought of a 4 cyl full size is a little odd to me, but then again this has more power and torque than just about every truck on the market in the mid 2000's. Will probably be fine for towing as long as the cooling system is burly enough.

Power output is there. Gas mileage will be crap around town, probably decent on the highway.

Yep, balance shafts are pretty much mandatory to keep a large 4-cyl running smoothly.

Also, this wont' be coming to the Colorado for some time. It's a shame, because it would be a great addition.

Well We towed the car with the car this weekend. Towed it so, so dirty...no lights no plate. Last time for that now that we know it works
It actually towed really well.
But this was a foolish move and i really need a 40k truck.
