Well, it’s definitely turning out to be an eventful week, this, with the next new card to be opened being the Chevrolet Colorado.
Seems the pickup truck has arrived in town, fresh off the boat, quite literally. Reader Firdaus spotted a number of them being driven off a vessel towards a parking pen at Westport this morning, and duly took some photos of the process. Thanks, Firdaus! :)
The Chevrolet Colorado double cab pick-up truck, which was launched in Thailand in October last year, was supposed to have made its debut here in December 2011, but the flooding that hit the Kingdom up north pretty much put paid to Naza Quest’s plans for a 2011 introduction. Guess the wait for it to arrive is over, by the looks of it.
The Thai-made vehicle will be sold here in double cab form, with two trim levels, LT and the higher-spec LTZ, being offered. Two Duramax diesel mills will be available, the 2.8 litre with VGT offering 180 hp and 470 Nm and the 150 hp and 350 Nm 2.5 litre, with both auto and manual transmission options on call. We’ve already test driven the truck – read Danny’s musings on it, if you haven’t already.

Waiting to see a Ford F350 Superduty in Malaysia. If I got a Ford F350 I am going to ram it into a kancil or kelisa

colorado OR new ranger? tough call…
bring la apa pum.. malaysian people still buy crap ugly Hilux…
Next call.. The Trailblazer. It’s gonna be the best in its class
Tough choice between the Colorado n new ford ranger. any price details ?
Expect 5-Star crash test NCAP for this 2012 Colorado, as 2012 Ranger did as well. Ranger overall scored well from front, side crash tests with no cracked front windscreen still OK and front doors not jammed at all.
The rest pre-2008 Hilux, Triton, Navara only get 4-star or less, all got front windscreens cracked at front impact crash test. Refer youtube clips. If not mistaken Triton or Hilux front door got jammed but Navara fared better.
But the worst in history of NCAP crash test is still that pathetic Protongkat Arena Jumbuck only got 1-star crumpled like hell! Death Trap pick up truck! Beware!
anyone know whether ESP is available on all models or only the 2.8? how about the ford ranger?
Handsome ..
Hooray at last the American beefy pickup is coming. Would love to see their huge SUVs. I can bet some people are going this ride with bling like those hilux and Navaras!
