Maybe that would be me?? I still have my Colorado diesel and I would heartily recommend this pickup for towing a 19, but sadly, GM no longer makes either the Colorado or Canyon with the diesel. So a...

I have the electric awning on my 2018 19 and have been very happy with it. It works great, and I have a routine where I can use it in the rain. I love its sleek look, the automatic wind sensor, and...

I’m up north of you, a bit south of Lewiston. I usually camp and fish down your way though, somewhere near Henry’s Lake or the Henry’s Fork. In case you’re up there too and see a nice 19 with purple...

If I had a 17a, for sure I would just use my river toilet. I used it for many years when tent camping, and of course on river trips. I have an EcoSafe. This system is smaller than most porta potties...

Welcome!! If you end up buying an Escape, it’s likely your only regret will be not having done it sooner.

I brought my 19 home in Sept 2018, and it’s been nothing but a joy to own. For me, it...

I think based on the intended use of the truck/trailer combination, all is good with 1,350 lbs of payload, assuming the weight of the hitch is under 100 lbs.

That said, my truck’s payload is...

Here's another plug to avoid interstates, particularly I-40 through Arizona and New Mexico (and probably points east). I had to drive from my home in Idaho to Midland, TX a few years ago, in April. I...

Hmmm, a couple of years ago I was towing my 19 home from a camping trip in Montana in early September. An unexpected cold front came through, and there was 5” of wet, heavy snow on Roger’s Pass,...

I’m looking at it as well but waiting to see what the mpg ratings are. I am totally spoiled by my 2017 Chevy Colorado diesel, which gets 30+ mpg not towing and 18+ towing my 19. At some point, it...

The OP mentioned the Pocatello/Idaho Falls area, not Twin Falls. Idaho Falls is north of Pocatello and therefore closer to YNP and the Tetons. It's quite a ways away from Boise and the Sawtooths. The...
