I just purchased a new 2017 Colorado LTZ last week, had it on the dyno with only 140km's. Gone from 110rwkw to 138 for now. I need to do an exhaust and DPF removal before i bother trying to go for more.

The new 17 model drives very much like a car now and with the added power goes like one too. I did a 0 - 100 test the other night and with some wheel spin from a stand still did it smack on 8 seconds.

lol you don't waste any time voiding the warranty :P

good gains though and 8 seconds 0-100 is pretty ok for a tank :)

Family member works for a farming company they had great walls, after that they got colorado's which had plenty of issues i recall and problems with seals leaking like rain with the gearbox's, once they went to second series with the different front and intercooler hood on the bonnet all issues disappeared, the second series also seem to have alot more power. The family member also uses his to tow a full load in the horse float no issues at all. A lady at my work also early this year bought a dmax 4x4 and takes it camping with trailer no worries so far. I think like most new models later series have issues ironed out.

28kw isn't anything to sneeze at with no upgrades lol

I finally got my Isuzu MUX. Got a good price and love the truck. I am a bit concerned that the wife also loves driving it. I abandoned the idea of a Colorado after learning it had a Fiat/Chrysler/GM engine with a timing belt and found out the misleading power figures used. Holden quote SAE not DIN. and the actual is very close to each manufacturer.
