Lol, a new Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 is prohibitively expensive for us. I will never be able to afford a fullsized anything anymore. We are at the point of "we no longer feel that a ZR2 Colorado is worth the price of admission anymore. " You may feel differently. Heck, I may feel differently if...

Well, IMHO we have already confirmed that modern trucks are anything but heavy duty. So now, a regular truck is a people hauler but if you want a truck to actually do truck things they come out with the heavy duty version and charge you yet more money just to have a truck that can actually do...

Yes, hard to keep up on everything all the time. I do know that the investment of the latest greatest product is getting to be quite substantial, which is why I try to educate myself. Forums are great for that and I appreciate all the helpful information. If the latest info on Teslas new...

Personally, I'd like it to be a mini Dodge Power Wagon with the hurricane twin turbo and a solid front axle. The Colorado ZR2 needs more competition. Also, it would be cool if the USA got the Ford Ranger Super Duty like Australia.

and dc to dc charger for aux battery systems. Wondering if anyone has had any negative effects on smart alternator or new vehicle electronics in general. Our platform is a 2023 Chevy Colorado ZR2. Bought new and currently has 12k miles. Thanks for the feedback.

What I think would sell faster than lemonade on a triple digit day , is something that would really shake things up : A mid sized mini Power Wagon with Dana 44's front and rear, 35's & a triple range transfer case ! The ZR2 Colorado, Raptor Ranger and the Gladiator Rubicon need some more...

As with most jobs, it starts out as one thing. Then someone keeps adding things to your job description until they quit, from being underpaid, overworked and the responsibilities of others are placed on the new person. I am retired now but the exact same thing happened to my job. Started out...

This is all great information. Thanks for the help. It seems that the older I get the harder it is to keep up with the latest technology and what's good and what's not.

We have been using this with great success: https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/bass-pro-shops-3-burner-high-output-propane-stove It can simmer but also REALLY put out the heat. We simply got tired of 10,000 btu burners, on windy days. I have also had my eye on this one...

The thing is, I already have 3 AGM gp 31 batteries and one of them is getting up in age. Believe it or not, I purchased it in 2006, it's a Sears Die Hard Platinum Marine battery, made by Odyssey for Sears, and it is still holding 13.6 volts. It's been in 3 different trucks electrical systems and...

So, I just got a call from the dealer that I ordered our truck cap through. Apparently someone at HQ decided to stop offering the tilt in window option and also the sliding window option. It is either a non opening window or no window at all. Almost every truck now has a sliding rear window...

I am like the princess and the pea. What has made all the difference for me is, using 2 air mattresses. I make one firmer and one softer. That was the ticket. I sleep as good or better camping than I do at home in my adjustable bed. But we vehicle camp. No backpacking. Also, I found that I sleep...

I just can't understand why the manufacturers don't make a solution for our trucks ? So many people work from their truck and also use truck for camping/overland. People don't want to spend the money for a new truck and find out that in order to make their truck work for them, they will void...
