2015 Chevy Colorado hands on impression
So my family and I are at Epcot and there GM sponsors a ride called Test Track. Pretty cool ride but my favorite part is the exit because GM stocks the exit area with some of their newest models. ...

Is the platform in the backseat for your dog(s)? Do you put anything on the console to protect it? Is your dog restrained (leash or harness)?
Thanks, sorry for the hijack...
No problem...time for a 500 mile update, got a new pic now.
Yes, the cargo and dog platform is for the dogs, whole write-up here:
Colorado Dog/Cargo Platform Build
They have been popular, sold a half dozen of them in the first week so I've been busy cranking them out. Very handy for grocery bags, gear, cargo, whatever, and of course our 3 dogs, however we haven't even been on a trip yet. I still need to get the blue-ox baseplate and set it up for towing.
No, we don't strap the dogs in. I guess if we pile it in they'll go flying. I don't wear seatbelts in the motorhome either. I like living dangerously. Besides, I put thousands of miles on motorbikes, on and offroad, split traffic, ride break-neck...so when my time is up then it's up. LOL.
The I4 is a neat little motor and I'm happy with it to keep things light and simple. I'm getting about mid-17's for city driving unless I baby it or make all the lights. As soon as you get on the freeway it's easy to coax mid to high 20's. I need to get some more travel time on it to know for sure. If you tromp on it then it sounds like a cavalier. LOL.
The Zone Offroad leveling lift works really nicely, for $65 is the best mod so far.
Fit and finish is mercedes benz quality, simply amazing. It drives just excellent, very happy with it.
