very pleased with my lo mile 2011 SV king cab i bought a few years ago after my fine but sluggish 08 colorado 4 banger got bit by a tree!!! mpgs about the same + better power for sure + love the 6 spd manual, the only transmission i usually buy. my older but lo miler got ALL fresh redline fluids shortly after purchase + opted for 75-90 in the rear i average 19 mpgs mostly local hilly driving. 5 to 10 was the transmission fluid-coolant issue that can be easily fixed, befoer of course. i always check specific model forums to learn more before i buy. truck rides well but a wider turning circle + would buy again + its better pricing is surely welcome in todays inflated living costs!! as for braking, mine was good as is but EBC yellow pads + typical braking upkeep made them BETTER, but pads prolly wear a bit fast. on that note i live in a hilly area + haul house coal yearly with more confidence now!
