Had To try out the new tow vehicle.....

Postby mikerueve » Tue Jan 17, 2017 7:39 am

We got rid of the MINI Clubman and replaces it with a Chevy Colorado. Winter weather in the 70's, plus MLK day off on Monday "forced" us
to get out and test the new Tow Vehicle. It sure is nice not to have to figure out how to secure all of our equipment on the front box!
Great weekend...... 146583

Nice truck! I'm considering getting one with the diesel engine. Can you give us a review of how your truck performs towing your trailer along with how much the teardrop weighs?

I looked at getting one with the Diesel, but the deal I got on the truck was too good to pass up (Year-end closeout, etc. etc.). It's the V6, rated to tow 7000 lbs.
My trailer weighs between 1000 lbs. and 1250 depending on what's in the storage box/Galley. The Chevy pulls it like there is nothing back there. I've been checking the
gas mileage around town and I get about 18 to 19(I live in a very "hilly" area). On this first trip driving mostly highway, I got over 20.
