Time will tell how much, if any, of the parts used on this concept make it to production. http://coloradofans.com/forums/114-2nd-gen-chevrolet-colorado-forum-2015-gmc-canyon-forum/365857-aev-concept-zr2.html#post4573233

To me, it looks like a very complete package. Fill the tank with gas, fill the fridge with drinks and food, then go hit the trail. No need to go through weeks of planning, online shopping and installations.

Good stuff!

More please. :)

I use a single serving french press to make my wife coffee every morning when camping. We have gotten pretty proficient with cleaning it. She likes the Tim Hortons coffee grinds. Don't try to sell her on anything else! 20170820_085231 by Ryan Jakob, on Flickr

I think the comment regarding limited solar up north was more a comment on the sun's intensity far away from the equator, not the daylight hours. "The angle formed by rays of sunlight hitting the Earth is technically known as the angle of incidence. Rays striking the planet's surface from...

What do you consider compact for option 1? I bought a kit at Canadian Tire that included a 40W panel, and 7A charge controller. It was on sale for $99 most of the summer. It measures 14x31 inches, or 35x79 centimeters. It looks like an average trolling motor on max speed draws near 40A...

I drove those (P) tires on a Hyundai Sonata. They were fantastic in snow. Never got that car stuck, even when pulling out of spots where the snow was well above the car's ground clearance. Just turn off the T/C and let the tires claw through. They were certainly noisy, compared to all...

How does a competent driver know how much of an angle they can put their truck on before it rolls over?

Most of my trips are two or three nights in one location. I have a cooler, and a fridge. To run the fridge, I have a ~75Ah battery, and a 40W solar panel. So far, I have only used the fridge when camping in campgrounds with electrical hookups. The fridge drains the battery pretty quick...

For a low price of $99 CAD, I picked up a kit that included a 40W panel, 7A charge controller, and 12ft extension cord. It is a Coleman from Canadian Tire, which is a re-branded Sun Force. It works well for charging up the trailer battery when camping without electrical hookup. It seems to be...

That should yield some REALLY low prices on the outgoing Frontier, as the new ones start to hit the lots.

The X is a cool phone. But, I'll just keep using the antique that work provides me... (I exaggerate a bit, they let me use a Galaxy S5 Neo)

I enjoyed your report, thanks for sharing. Group trips can have a few challenges, but also bring with them a kind of fun you can only have in a group.

Cool truck. It will be interesting to see if a Ranger Raptor ever makes it to North America.

Yup, tis the season for fog over warm water, on cold mornings. Fall colours are just around the corner for many.

Colorados and Canyons are taking over this thread. I love it.

This is a nice reply, that gives a pretty good basic overview. The only thing I will add, is that you need to take into consideration your access to the sun. Much of my camping is out of a teardrop trailer, in the woods, for the weekend. Some of the sites I camp in are near full shade...
