Hi! We are seriously looking to change our old 2010 Shadow Cruiser 185FBR by this amazing Apex 215RBK... We have the Colorado Diesel... How's the experience so far with the rig in tow? Let me know how it tackles the job!

For all of you that want to add trailer cameras, front cameras, or side mirror cameras, look at Echo Master. They have kits for the colorado to integrate directly into the stock screen. I added the wireless trailer camera and a front camera for off-roading.

It did ok. You have to really push the truck but luckily the 6 likes to rev. I’ve actually gotten rid of the Jayco. We now have a Keystone Bullet Premier 19fbpr. It’s 5ft shorter and about 200lbs lighter. It’s way more aerodynamic as well and tows much better behind the truck. Although since switching trailers I’ve also done eibachs all around, wheel spacers to widen the track, hellwigs with cut down sumos as bumpstops and a trifecta tune. All that said I’m quite happy with how the truck does.

Towed 6.5k lbs in 120 degrees through the mountains. Got 18 mpgs and transmission temps never passed 168 degrees!
Don't be afraid to tow with this truck specially if you have a 18+ with the 8 speed transmission. Make sure your tonque weight is good, set your rear tires to 45psi and go haul some shiz!

Truck Dirty - Boat Clean! Boat is 4150 lbs dry & I can definitely feel it back there....!
I would like to pick your brain about your hitch weight and that pro pride…..trying to chose between it and the Hensley. Big price gap but i know the value of true no sway….

Well now that you have shown off your rig, you may recognize this burnt out camp. If you learned one thing from working with me , it was taste in trucks. Good on ya Bayne.
i love those little fiberglass trailers

How are y'all truck brakes? I know you are using electronic controllers.
