I've enjoyed your videos. How did your Colorado do overall with towing? I've been researching the 18RR and have kind of assumed that with it's weight and that of a 900lb motorcycle that we should be using a full sized truck.
The Colorado is a great little truck and it tows great. With the bike in the back, we still come in under the max tow weight (estimated, I haven't weighed it, yet) and tongue weight. With the bike loaded we can't fill the water tank, though, or we'd be over. It handles very well, though sometimes when it's windy or getting passed by a big truck, you can feel it pull you sideways a bit. Never enough to be worried about it, though. I use the Anderson hitch and it does a wonderful job at sway control. I am sure a full size truck would likely be a little better, but the Colorado does just fine. (And we average 10-12 mpg when fully loaded, depending on traffic).
