Hi everyone . Newbie here . Finally pulled the trigger in May . 2017 Canyon , SLT , 4x4 , 4 door , long bed , (Diesel of course ) , spray in bed liner , otherwise completely stock .
Bought the truck from Laura GMC . GREAT people , price , selection . I live in Wichita Falls , TX . No one in this area had any selection , no deals on $$ .
Anyway , on to towing thoughts . I have owned Tacomas , Tundra (4.7) , F250 Powerstroke , Titan , last tow vehicle 2010 Jeep Wrangler 4 door ( modified ) .
I currently pull a Forest River 19RR toy hauler , 4100 lbs empty , load equalizer hitch , sway control .
I tow in Tx twice a month with the rig loaded to 5500 lbs for 150 miles . Just got back from Taylor Park , Colorado with load of 5100 lbs . Raton Pass 7800 ft , La Veta Pass 9400 ft .
This truck is wonderful !! Set cruise on 70 , let her run. MPG 10 to 14 . Easy 55 up both passes , and only touched the brakes to set the exhaust brake coming down . Handles fine , only wish it had a 25 gal tank.
