How is the leg room in the back? Was any of your last vehicles a full size truck? I was thinking of downsizing, I'm in a Tundra crewmax.

The specs online listed the towing capacity at 7,500

Nice truck, what did you end up paying?


39K, but I get supplier pricing through the company I work for.

I had a crew cab F-150 before this. It doesn't have as much leg room as the Ford did, but it's not terrible. I sat in it just to see and was comfortable. We put my little boy's car seat back there and didn't have to scoot the seats up or anything.

Oh yeah, 7,600 pound towing capacity.

I'll be going from a Sierra 1500. I'm going look at one this evening in Hammond. Hell if I can get them to give me $20k for my truck I may only have to finance around $15k after down payment.

No it's the SLE with the All Terrain package

ETA I got the long bed on it, also. That added a little over $1,000 I believe

Nice. My current truck is an SLT with the all terrain and I'm kinda spoiled with it. I like my leather and navigation

I may give the SLE a shot though. I don't need all the bells and whistles

It has the navigation, heated seats, Bose speaker system, just no leather seats. To me it wasn't worth it to add $3,000 to the price.

Damn. I can do without the leather seats. Sounds like you got a good price for that truck

I went from an '03 Silverado extended cab to the '15 Colorado crew cab last year. It has more rear legroom but less width. So far I'm 100% happy with it. Mileage averages 22 and gets 26+ on the hwy.

My Colorado is black. Looks great when it's clean. Looks alright dirty. But it looks horrible if you do a halfast job of washing it.

I have a Canyon SLT Gasser(Paid 32k), and love it, 19k miles, AVG 21MPG city, 26MPG highway doing 75, @60 I can get 28MPG.


The Diesel is basically 4k premium over gas model.

How often do you have to park a full sized truck?

I'm interested in one of these or a tacoma with a long bed, I'd be coming from a crew cab sierra 1500 with the standard bed.

neither did i at first.

8 months later and Im happy in a midsize.

i dont have kids though. that would be a difference maker if I had teenage kids. little kids can fit anywhere. I know because I rode in some shitty places as a kid

I thought the lower total cost would be worth the trade off of interior space, as long as the smaller truck still had the towing capability that I require. I have a full size crew cab that is empty 99% of the time, and I figure the smaller truck is 10k less than a similarly optioned full size.
