I wouldn't say it was a bad engine, but it wouldn't be my first choice. But, the 5 cylinder wouldn't be either. GM had those trucks rebadged from Isuzus, part of the deal when they bought Isuzu to get the Duramax.
Every 3000 is great. That's about the best thing you can do for any engine, no matter what the OEM says about oil life. Remember, they sell cars and trucks.
This little Colorados will nickel and dime you the older they get. I'd start looking at a new(er) vehicle. Today's half tons with the new engines get better mileage than those little trucks.

I'm a huge fan of compact pickup trucks. Pick your brand but please don't go to full size. Our family's full size GMC Sierra is an absolute joke. Slower than molasses in January. I think it has less than 120,000 miles. But it takes 1 1/2 acres to turn it around. I hate full size trucks.

The new "small" pickups are almost the size of older full sized pickups. You got that right. The newer Colorados and Canyons are pretty big. I have an 09 Canyon that is still on the smaller side, but I would definitely consider a newer version before I went full-size.

The new "small" pickups are almost the size of older full sized pickups. If you go back to 1950's the compact pickup trucks are the same size as the old full size pickups. You are right.

The elder little Rangers liked fuel, but guys that ran em liked em. I like full size but I haul more than post holes lol.
Like to hear more about buying new trucks and claiming a loss EVERY year.

I meant, I heard the 5 cylinder was bad engine. Not 4 cyl, it has been good vechile for all use got out it, compared to some pickups could buy, I not ranger fan or Chrysler fan, gm has faults just like others, parts cheaper Ford or Chrysler , I think, 3 biggest things had go wrong, exhaust manifold crack, expensive with cast iron an converter. Fuel pump, tires. It be ok to put shocks in it now an tires by December. The converter is not plug up but not work , air bag not work, idk that, tpm , idk that , still good runner, put 2 set plugs in ever
