The **2005 Chevrolet Colorado LS** is a practical choice if you re after a compact pickup with modest power, low ownership costs, and surprising longevity. With your standard **2.8 L four-cylinder engine making 175 hp / 185 lb-ft** (or the optional 3.5 L inline five with 220 hp in some crew- or extended-cab models), it tows and hauls up to approximately **4,000 lb**, making it well-suited for light work, commuting, or weekend projects. Fuel economy runs in the **mid-teens city to low 20s highway**, which was respectable for a truck of its size in 2005. Real-world owners frequently highlight its durability. One review notes it logged **over 228,000 miles maintenance-free**, with only routine service over the years. Reddit owners echo that sentiment My  05 with the 3.5 engine with 195k miles engine and transmission worked smoothly, and another touted **345,000 miles and still going strong**. Cerified user reviews call it very reliable, tough as nails, and cite minimal mechanical issues beyond brake and window motor wear. That said, be mindful of a few quirks: aside from wear, many owners report common electrical gremlins like blower resistor or window switch failures especially in cold climates and the rear drum-brake design can freeze up in sub 20 F conditions. Also, the early model year lacked the refinements that appeared in later first-gen Colorado updates, including more reliable engine couplers and improved infotainment. The **2005 Colorado LS** is a no-frills compact truck beloved by many for its reliability, ease of maintenance, and straightforward practicality. It s ideal if you want honest performance in a simple package and if you keep up with basic electrical checks and maintenance, it can still serve well beyond 200,000 miles.<br><br>50th Anniversary Sale!!!
