Cheap Family Camping and the 2008 Chevrolet Colorado Extended Cab 2WD
Allow me to paint a picture for you. You have an extended holiday weekend and you can take the family for an outing for up to a week without eating into too much of your vacation time. Money is tight and you only have a week or two to plan AND you don’t want to board the family pet.
Ah, the trusty pop-up trailer sits at the ready in your garage/backyard/storage yard/friend’s back yard and you just bought a frugal pickup truck. No, that’s not an oxymoron; you can still find a small, 4-cylinder pickup truck with an extra cab (2 additional seats). In fact, only two automakers in the United States offer trucks in these configurations – General Motors (Chevrolet Colorado and the GMC Canyon) and Toyota (Tacoma). All other competitive automakers offer either only thirsty V6s, V8s or a standard cab with a 4 cylinder.
