    For those of us towing smaller boats this thing could sure be appealing.

    All that little bitty diesel is going to do is make you get a real truck.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    All bets are off come December when those 2019 GMCs and Chevy LP5s are on sale. My next set of orders plays into that too.


    Right now my farthest tow is 5 miles.

    That platform in a Colorado is nice. Full size would be questionable especially first year.

    If i could've fit in a Colorado crew cab with my kids, I was gonna buy one with the diesel, but being 6'4 & your teenage kids being over 6ft that wasn't happening.

    The beds in the Canyon and Colorada remind me of Tonka toy trucks

    So does the Tundra. Bring a saw, we’ll have to cut the plywood in half, studs too, that why we got extra nails.

    My only bitch about my tundra is the bed size. They could’ve made the back seat a bit smaller for a bigger bed

    Why I like my GMC double cab. 4 doors and longer bed. Nobody ever gets in the backseats except groceries, beer and tennis rackets
