For a note my mom drove it 1 mile on interstate 71 to the king’s island western row exit in 2 minutes she had it up 80 and we didn't feel it till I looked at the speed and there was no road (highway) noise we had a Z 71 model crew cab a semi went past us in the lane next to us and we didn't feel it or even know it was there. We had my I Pod on with the Bose sound system it sound great it has 7 speakers the base was so good the door where rattling the test one had the spray in liner it is ¼ thick with derange holes to let snow or water out so you don’t have a pool on board . It has a wheel base of 128” and I length of 212” longer that of our old 2003 ford expedition but a bit sort of our 2002 Chevy Silverado 2500 HD of a length 226”. And has 305 horse power 269 torque.364Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2015 Colorado Extended Cab, Long Box LT RWD
This Saturday November 8 we are planning to order our new 2015 Colorado in the last 15-20 days we have analyze 3 things our trade payoff having enough to have $0.00 negative equity and at least $450 deposit a week or two ago we thought we would have far less to start this process. If you like ether version of this new midsize trucks here is a very valuable tip if you are with a credit union they may be in a GM program discount; I built on the GM Chevy site $28,900 on the GM program discount site as its built $29,900 my discount through the GE credit union GM program discount price was $27,890. It pays t o do your homework and not back yourself in a corner and pay a high price363Views0likes0CommentsRe: 2015 Colorado Extended Cab, Long Box LT RWD
Our Kodiak 241 RBSL has the following Unloaded Weight 4,458 Cargo Capacity 1,542 Hitch 446 Length 27' 2" Height 10' 2" Width 8' Fresh Water 52 Waste Water 28 Grey Water 39 I test drove it on Friday October 17, 2014 it was very quiet if you see ads for new luxury car on one side where the wiper are they have like a wheel on a mouse has it has 15 different screens it tell you the tire pressure and it had ¼ tank on that it could go 100 mile on that tank. On the way back to the dealer we had the front windows open even that it was still quite as a mouse. One thing I like it has a lock on the full spire tire and the 7 pin is next to plate not under the bumper the tow hull is not on the shiftier like older trucks and the backup camera guides turn as you turn the wheel and the bumper is visible so you can tell when to stop. The hitch is a class IV and the fit and finish it very tops seats very comfort able in the owner guide the tow rating for the true 7000 LBS is a RWD extended cab, 4X4 if a little less but very little. Over all this should have no problem with our Kodiak if your boat / RV were over 6400 LBS “weight caring” that could be a problem we use an E2 weight distribution hitch it has the sway bars not chains so this should be a bonus and for the I built less than $29,000 with a factory spray in bed liner for $475 not bad. Note if you are looking at a 2 wheel drive Toyota midsize with a tow package this is not going to happen the make you get a 4X4 you cannot get it in a 4X2363Views0likes0Comments
