Put the new truck to work last week towing a mates 22.68.1 OB then our 22.68.2 OB about an hour away from home through some very hilly and windy country, fuel consumption was 18.1 lph which I was more than happy with, this thing impress's me every time I drive it, especialy when towing 3T Here are a couple of pics of where we set up for the week.

A number of adjectives come to mind, the censor would break the keyboard though so a " Bluddy Nice Set Up" will have to do.........................bastardio......not sure if a real word but the meaning is there........................lol,lol,lol.

Might have change my name from Drover to Envious Ian...

Thanks mate, I am very happy with it and can't imagine anything being better to tow with, we recently discovered our 22.68.2 starcraft OB was around 500kg heavier than the quoted weight on the compliance plate, this explained why the GC was having a little trouble on the hills.

Thats why I tow Big Mal with a Colorado, lol, The Ute tells me when I need to throw some gear off but hasn't mentioned it since we moved, didn't need a bridge to tell me what I was towing was a tad over specs back then, I actually could have done with a big truck when we moved house............... It looks great and when they start to actually bring them in, in RH drive without the importer conversion I think there will be some bargains around for sure...... a suspension mod and I have found them a nice rig from first sit.

They will never be imported as a RHD, Chevrolet refuse to make them that way.

Just give it a good spray with Inox, washing with a hose isn't good for them........I wonder if it would fit in the Colorado ????

Interesting batteries there and doesn't look all that nasty to work on if needed, once clear the forest of tree's.

So far it looks pretty good to work on, as long as there is a step ladder.
