I will try to make a thread with some first hand accounts of how this truck treats us. I got it for my wife so unless she wants to build it a bit, it will probably stay stock for awhile. There is a major lack of first hand accounts of these things online doing the type of travel we all seem to enjoy here so hopefully I can help shed some light. There are some nice suspension options out there already so the aftermarket is starting to fill in some needs. Our primary use for this thing is going to be for her to daily drive, transport kiddos, haul outdoor gear, as well as do work hauling building materials for our home improvement projects, her gardening projects, and towing our camper from time to time. We do intend to use the Suburban for the towing more so but I have a suspicion the Colorado will tow it with mpgs that will make us want to use it more in that capacity. We will see. I can tell you this thing feels screwed together very well. It drives well, is very refined inside and tight as a drum. We were considering this or the Tacoma TRD Off-road but wanted it mostly for truck stuff. The Tacoma definitely has an edge in pure off-road but if we were going to use a Taco for that stuff in place of the Land Cruiser, a lift and taller tires would be in the list anyway so doing the same to the Colorado would bring them close enough that I don't care. And then I still have that glorious diesel. I always said if someone brought a mid size truck to the market I would buy it so this is basically me putting my money where my mouth is because GM had the guts to do it. I had a great time touring the Atacama desert in a Chevy Luv turbo diesel which was essentially the same engine in the previous gen foreign market Isuzu/Holden/Chevy bodystyle. This Colorado is a whole mother step in refinement and ride compared to that so I have high hopes.
if you do tow with it, would you put some airbags on it?
