Yes, there will be a 2009 Colorado pickup truck, and it’s not just an unchanged carryover from 2008 with “New wheel covers for 2009!” like some models are guilty of doing at the model year change.
In fact, the 2009 Colorado gets a new engine that’s been heavily anticipated by truck lovers since the Colorado’s introduction: a 5.3-liter V-8 engine making 300 horsepower and 320 pounds-feet of torque.
The 2.9-liter four-cylinder and 3.7-liter five-cylinder engines are carried over from last year, and according to General Motors, changes to a fuel control module have increased fuel economy. The new mileage figures are below.
Other updates for 2009 include a standard electronic stability system on all models as well as a new braking system for improved stopping power and brake feel.
