First time taking it out into the mountains this year. Also new this year is the topper, definitely seeing more sag in the rear with it. This is my one gripe about the andersen, and it's that it doesn't transfer weight to the front axle enough. Stopped at the scales on the way out and back, still within limits! Pulling a little slower this year with gas prices, staying within the speed limit, averaged 20L/100KM round trip.

just returned from ~2500 mile round trip from Colorado through American Southwest to San Diego for camping on the beach with wife, 2year old and 2 large dogs. From the Rocky Mountains to 100+ degree temps in Mojave Desert- the Colorado hauled well and was a comfortable ride. Even w AC running and all 5 in the cab!

InTech Explorer Flyer Toy Hauler ~2200 lbs loaded
AT Overland Atlas Pop-Up Camper ~350 lbs
‘13 Honda CRF250L ~300 lbs

Nice setup! Looks like it's time to get some upgraded rear leafs, though.

Recently returned from a 2500 mile trip to NM and CO, 2000 towing our (3300# loaded) 17 Foot Casita. Our 2021 Canyon AT4 performed very well. 16.2mpg for the towing miles. We were camped at about 8700 feet and towed towed over several passes above 10,000 feet. Also took the Canyon up a jeep trail near the top of Galena mountain above above the Buffalo Boy tram house for a nephew's mountain top wedding. Scraped a bit underneath several times (truck is stock) but hung with the Jeeps carrying the rest of the wedding party. Trail is probably a 6 on a 1-10 scale and close to the truck's limits. Upper part of the trail had sections of mostly grapefruit to basket ball size rocks.

Our Off Grid Trailer arrived back in Feb, so this is what I tow now. Since this pic was taken I've swapped out the tires/wheels on my truck and lifted the front with a set of Fox 2.0 coilovers.

Figured Id chime in with a long term update.
Been carrying (not necessarily towing) my AllTerrain Bobcat pop up camper for the vast majority of 100k miles now. Its unfortunately got to be on all the time as a daily since ive nowhere secure to store it, plus road-trips a plenty. Last was a 3400 mile roundy from Palm Springs, up the coast literally all the way to the San Juan islands WA and back down thru the cascades area, Nevada and Tahoe, down the eastern sierra, and back home. Never missed a beat. Truck is at 162k now and I only consume brakes at a slightly faster rate. Camper is 1000# or less, dry. About 12-1300 max loaded with two of us in it. It has been and will continue to be the best eastern sierra and desert assault luxury campsite on wheels. It still will motor up rough backcountry roads without batting an eye. Just keep that tranny fluid fresh and changed! Been running motul and oem filters throughout.

Just got my 2021 CCLB Denali V6. Job 1 is for towing my 19’ Carolina Skiff which according to the local dump-scale, trailer/boat weighs about 3900 pounds. Very happy with the first tow through the ups/downs towards Charlotte almost all interstate and in the rain.

Tried to keep in the 65-70mph range and “surf” the downhills to avoid heavy throttle going back up. Very pleased with almost 16mpg avg according to the computer; that’s about what I get in the 2007 5.7 Ram empty!

Realize now I didn’t get a picture of the trailer/truck but the boat is in for repower and upgrades so just as well… Need a shiny boat to go with a shiny truck!

I have to grab a pic with the Colorado, but here is my home made teardrop style (without the aero shape....) camper. I built this many years ago and it's been modified a lot since built. been all up and down the east coast camping all over. It looks pretty different these days and will try and grab a current photo on the next trip. Love this little beast.

Last weekend I went on a 300 mile round trip to pick up a little beater/project car. I’ve always wanted a Suzuki X-90. The Colorado really surprised me! It towed that car back very well! I was impressed!

Nice trailer with a toolbox! My uncle is looking to build one soon so he might be interested in the setup. We'll just finish installing the suspension and tires from 4Wheelonline onto the Colorado this week.

Stock height / tire ZR2 guys, please tell me what drop hitch you are running when towing a car trailer. I am wondering if 2" drop is not enough.

That's going to vary depending on car trailer, do you have a brand and model in mind? Or have one local you can go measure the ball height of when the trailer is level?

I don't, I'd be renting and borrow/renting. I am thinking to swing by a buddy and check his trailer out.

Post more of the trailer please. Looks cool!

In the front storage box (not shown) are two deep-cycle batteries, storage, fuse block, solar charge controller, DC-DC charger, AC-DC charger, and a Dometic CFX3 55IM fridge on a slide. Plan is to use that as a freezer and the rear fridge as just a fridge on really long trips in the middle of nowhere. The galley storage is not shared with the storage inside the living area, totally separate.

Our super-thick 0F bag is dang comfy when it's super cold and we don't want to have the furnace running often through the night.
