Autism and Employment (another PennSilverTaco thread)!

A traditional keyed ignition is becoming increasingly less common in our fleet…

 

I'm guessing low miles because nobody wanted to drive it

 

As far as trucks go, some F150s still have a key, but this is the only GM truck in our fleet I’m aware of that has one…

 

I don’t know much about this generation of Colorado/Canyon, but I like it because of its electronic and mechanical simplicity compared to other vehicles in our fleet. You may have a point there though because we have a 2023 DCSB SR5 with the 2.7L that is absolutely beaten to shit. It had like 53K miles on it as of February and ran like a top, but it’s been abused…

 

The interior is not very truck-like or rugged in my opinion, but the general fit and finish is better than that of older GM trucks…

 

That sr5 sounds like it could be your next vehicle.

 

KBB value at the time was like $26K, and we all know that KBB tends to undervalue Tacos; I would not pay $30K for a used ex-rental 2WD Taco with over 50K miles on it even if could afford to pay cash!

 

Fair enough. Pics of this heap?

 

They aren't bad looking trucks, but what blows is only DCSB config

Or because it wouldn't run

 

Not many vehicles in our fleet still have anything on them advertising the dealership where they were originally purchased…

 

Not bad looking but I bet it's leaking coolant or it will be.

 

Why would it be leaking coolant?

 

It's a GM, the last few GM I've owned used coolant , same with my FIL and BIL.

 

My truck never leaked a drop of coolant until the radiator started leaking in March 2023 at like 166K miles. Even with all of the problems in 2022 leading up to the blown head gasket, it never leaked coolant!

 

Yep. Good engineering.

 

I would have expected the transmission to last a little longer though...
