New 5ver


well I picked her up last week, been out and about all week with it

2006 Colorado 31-RL-M5-BS
she is 34'6" long, and scaled in at just over 12,500. That is with the tanks full and all that nonsense.

Looks nice. What gear ratio do you have? I have the lowe gear ratio and my max trailer load is under 10,000 lbs. How are you able to tow that much weight? We have the same year truck.

thanks ,
Bobby
