howdy from CO

[c4racer2]

new member here - just traded my 2018 Colorado long bed LT/4WD V6, lifted 2" w/ ZR2 wheels for it's big brother - 2026 2500HD LT / 4x4 / trail boss 6.6L in the same sterling gray color.

 

I tow a 5-6Klb car trailer and moved to CO last year from CA and now have a farm property, so plenty of room and more hauling duties as well plus the mountains / elevation around here really kills the already underpowered V6 in the Colorado.  I don't drive a lot, so the Duramax wasn't really necessary, and gas around here is $1 cheaper than diesel as well.  This truck has well more than double the towing capacity I need anyway - I was just looking for some margin and to cover for the mountains which go up to 10K feet in some places.

Welcome to the group

thanks for the welcome.  I did my first mini tow over the weekend - yes, I know it's not broken in yet but I think it will survive this.  Had to move a fridge so hooked up my utility trailer and drove it about 6 miles.  I forgot how much I hate backing up that tiny thing - one axle.  I am calibrated to a 20f dual axle car trailer and I always forget to adjust.  Pulling it is fine, but backing it up I feel like I have no clue what I am doing and I can drop that car trailer anywhere without much thought!
