Looking for real world experience of people who tow with their diesel Colorado. Good bad or otherwise. What do you tow, how heavy, & what type of hitch set up do you have ?
Weight distributing ?, with sway bar control ?, what is the tongue weight ? Do you get the "wag the dog" or side to side sway ? What kind of mpg do you see towing ? Thanks in advance for your replies.
Trying to decide for our next tow vehicle. Our camper: 18' Starcraft AR ONE EXTREME 18QB, 3500 lbs., 15" tires, single axle, electric brakes, sits high. Our hitch is a Reese Weight Distributing w/anti sway bars, rated @ 12,000 lbs. Tows perfect, with zero sway, regardless of semi trucks passing me or me passing them, behind our 2008 Dodge Power Wagon w/G-56. Looking to see some real world mpgs while towing, of the 2.8L DuraMax diesel. We are keeping the Wagon regardless of what we get. Only 6 lb ft of torque difference between the DuraMax and my Hemi. Doing my homework now.
