my c1500 was considered a full size pick up for its day and now its more like a medium/small but it has a towing capacity if 6500 lbs and i need it for my trailer looked online and the 2010 colorado was a max of 6000 lbs so id rather not go backwards my trailer is anywhere from 3000-4000 lbs depending on the trip.
I am looking for the biggest 4 door there is for those years since kid number 1 is on its way which is why I am getting rid of my 2 door C1500. I believe that would be the crew cab not the extended cab.
looking at upgrading from a 1996 c1500 to a 2010-2013 4x4 Silverado 1500 but curious if this platform is a good rock crawling vehicle. not going over anything crazy but my daily driver is a subaru outback with 7.5" of clearance cant go up a few of my hunting trails. not looking to modify too heavily since it mostly will be a daily driver maybe just a 2" lift, light bar and skid plates. just seeing what current owners of this platform have run into.
