when is the 5.3 going into the colorado?

[96noma2.2]

i was just wondering when the 5.3 v8 is going into the colorado.

[Tink]

So far it looks like Canyon only, starting in 08.

[87wildside]

The last I read '09. I don't think it will ever happen.

[BlazinLow_inORE]

yeah.. they pushed it back to 09 from what I am getting from other sources.

If will probably end up like the s10's when they were said to have been planning on a v8.. .:shrug:

[j894]

Why only the canyon?
because its "professional" grade?

[Blazer69]

would like to see it but not sure if it will happen.....just buy a canyon...

[Mikz86TA]

Sounds like its never gonna happen.

[White-V-6-S-Ten]

Canyon is just the colorado version for gmc just like the sonoma is the s10 version.
I dont think there any difference
