X2. I pull an open steel so I don't need what the closed trailer guys need. The Chevy Colorado will now have a 2.8 dura max diesel. 390 lbs/ft torque. 7700lbs rating. Wanting to drive it when avail.

Oh, I meant the Toyota recall is painful for them. I guess I didn't quote that right.

That's pretty good. I average about 14mpg with my enclosed trailer and our BMW X5 diesel as long as I keep it under 65mph.
