Throughout, the big thing my co- driver and I noticed was how quiet they all were. A lot of this has to do with the fully boxed frame with shear-style and compression body mounts. Hydraulic engine mounts absorb vibration for smoother idle and virtually no engine shake. The front suspension is a beefy coil over strut system with large diameter, hollow stabilizers bars and twin-tube shocks. At the rear, two-stage leaf springs and a Hotchkiss-style solid rear axle feature spring bushings that improve ride quality substantially. The one that I liked most was the Colorado crew cab 3.6-litre RWD auto- matic, which was easily more powerful than the 2.5-litre. But it was the torque that made me think I could load the bed to the brim and still keep up to the flow of traffic on the highway. Room in the back was more than sufficient for a full-figured person like myself, even with the front seat fully back. Because these trucks are all about work and utility, we searched for a construction site in which to pose the Colorado for photos. Asking permission from the job site foreman, he said he had a much-loved heavy-duty Silverado and I asked him to come out and take a look and he liked what he saw. He was hesitant at first about letting us through the gate, but the Colorado did the trick. "If you were driving a Ford, I wouldn't have let you in," he said with a wide grin. But seeing the Silverado and Colo- rado side-by-side illustrated just how big these so-called mid-size trucks re- ally are. It's not as wide as the Silverado, but it's visually the same size as the last generation version. Driving a fully loaded Canyon SLT was like being in a Cadillac with leath- er trim and stylish French stitching all living up to the "premium" billing. What GM has done with Colorado and Canyon is re-invent the intermedi- ate pickup. Next year it will expand the lineup to include a 2.8-litre diesel, which should turn the segment upside down. But most important is these trucks aren't built on the cheap. It is, as a Chevrolet presenter said, a true game changer. ••• (Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon 2015 at a glance ) BODY STYLE: Intermediate-size, body-on-frame pickup DRIVE METHOD: front-engine, rear-/four-wheel-drive with six-speed manual or six-speed automatic trans- mission ENGINE: 2.5-litre direct injection DOHC inline four-cylinder (200 hp, 191 lb/ft); 3.6-litre direct injection DOHC V6 (305 hp, 269 lb/ft) FUEL CONSUMPTION: (Reg- ular) 2.5-litre automatic RWD 11.9/8.8/10.5L/100 km city/high- way/combined; 4WD automatic, 12.7/9.5/11.3L/100 km; 3.6-litre BED CONFIGURURATION: Crew- cab, five- or six-foot boxes; extended- cab model, six-foot box PAYLOAD: Colorado, 721 kg (1,590 lb); Canyon, 735 kg (1,620 lb) TOW RATING: 1,588 kg (3,500 lb) up to 3,175 kg (7,000 lb) PRICE: Colorado base, $19,900; Canyon base, $20,600 not including $1,695 shipping fee These mid-sized trucks pack a big punch
