Just announced: Colorado is Motor Trend Truck of the Year for 2nd straight year. It handily beat out the Tacoma. http://www.motortrend.com/news/2016-chevrolet-colorado-is-the-motor-trend-truck-of-the-year/ One interesting thing I noted from the article. You can order it with the bed deleted...

Consumer reports is the most biased publication I have ever read. They never report honestly in my opinion. I have owned products that they claim are the best, and they turned out to be the worst, and vice versa. How can they claim the Colorado as being unreliable when it hasn't even been out a...

The four door crew cab is available with the 6 foot bed. I've seen several of them. It seems to be popular here in Texas.

I would take a hard look at the Colorado. There is a reason it is the Motor Trend truck of the year. It exceeds and outperforms the Tacoma in almost every aspect. With the new diesel option coming out, it will tow over 7000 lbs and get over 30 mpg. Plus, the new Colorado has a way better payload...

Thanks for all the insight. It helps my decision process.

I am still researching my camper purchase, and have a question. Four Wheel uses a one piece roof, while the All Terrain has numerous screws drilled into the roof. How well does the ATC roof hold up? Would I have to reseal every single screw periodically? Does this design make the roof more prone...

Has anyone tried to mount a camper to the new Colorado? How is the fit? I read that the new Colorado has a 1500 lb. payload. Should handle the weight without a problem. Just curious if that protrusion in the bed is an issue or not.

Stan, come on over to Texas! We are very business friendly, plus low cost of living. Also, half the vehicles in Texas are pickups, so you've got millions of potential customers!

I just saw a new Colorado. Bad to the bone. It is the best midsized truck on the market. I did though notice a potential problem with the truck when it comes to hauling a camper. There is a protrusion into the front left of the bed that looks like where the fuel neck is routed. This appears...

Thanks for the info Longhorn! I'm glad it works well for you. Oh, I saw your stickers on the back window. Just wanted to say "Gig em Aggies! " :-)

How did the portable ac work? Got any pics of the setup?

Im looking forward to your report and pics of the portable ac setup.

New releases on the 2015 Colorado show it to be a class leader against all the competition. Best in class towing, horsepower, and payload. Fuel economy numbers have not been released, but gm promises best in class mpg. I know that there is a lot of people here that swear by the Tacoma, but I...

I saw the mod winners on TCM, and it all looks great. Where was ski3pin's build? He should have been there for sure. I never see anything on TCM regarding ATC. Is that due to a lack of advertising sponsorship?

What a deal! Too bad I don't have a long bed

That's really neat. If they made one of those with a cabover bed area, it would be really cool.

I'm looking forward to seeing pics of your new camper Longhorn. I'm going to wait till your report on the portable ac unit before I order mine. If it works good, then I won't be ordering the expensive window unit option

How did you attach the cabinet frame to the camper? Did you screw into the aluminum frame studs or the wood wheel well or both?

Very nice pickup Mongo. Is it gas or Duramax? I have always been a GM guy, I have a 2004 Silverado now, but am ready for a new truck. I love the style of the new Silverados, but am extremely disappointed at GM for their gas engine offering in the HD's. They are continuing to use the same 6.0...

Sorry to stray from the topic, but just had a simple question that I didn't think would warrant a new thread. How does the standard sofa on an ATC fold out to a bed? It doesn't appear to be a rollover type. Does anyone have pics of it laid out and also of the storage underneath? Thanks?

I would love to see those pics, but they are not pulling up for some reason. Not Android compatible, maybe?

I'm assuming that since under mattress condensation is an issue, FWC does not have the block foam insulation built into the cabover portion? If not, I'm surprised that they do not do this since the rest of the hard walls have it.

Longhorn, when you get your camper, would you mind posting a report on how the portable ac works out? I'm interested in how you rig the exhaust hose. I'm going to order soon, I really like the front dinette, but can't go without an ac in Texas. If it works good for you, I might go ahead and get...

Speaking of underbed storage, it would be nice if FWC would offer that on the standard models. Anyone think they will do that in the future?

Wanted to chime in again on this. I started thinking about a couple of years ago when I had a 1/2 ton Chevy. When I moved a while back, I had my 900 lb. Harley Davidson in the bed of the truck. I also had my wife, kid, and a lot of clothes in the cab. The truck didn't squat and it drove like...
