My colleague Jil McIntosh constantly says modern pickup trucks are TFB, for «Too Friggin’ Big,» and frankly I agree. Sure, you can go and buy any full-size pickup truck you desire in 4×4 trim with knobby tires, but you’ll find precious few real trails large enough to fit it! One row back from the front lines of model bloat is where today’s comparison begins.

Both our Jeep Gladiator and Chevy Colorado ZR2 are midsize 4×4 pickup trucks. Both have four doors, and short beds measuring roughly 5.5 feet. Both are represented in their most off-road-ready packages and both have 3.6L V6 engines. But they aren’t as similar as you might think.

У компании Chevrolet сегодня сразу два дебюта: пока в Китае гремела премьера компактного кроссовера Seeker, в Америке показали среднеразмерный пикап Chevrolet Colorado нового поколения. Уходящая модель образца 2011 года была разработана при участии компании Isuzu и сначала предназначалась только для Азии, Латинской Америки и Австралии, и только в 2014 году доработанный Colorado появился в США. Теперь же приоритеты расставлены иначе: новый пикап разработан без партнеров и изначально заточен под Штаты.

Received a call from a gentleman stuck up on Lasal Pass. Was told the truck was hanging off the mountain so we decided to take both tow trucks just to be sure. Once we got there we used one truck to pull him back and away from the ledge and used Ol Blue to help pull it out of the low spot back to good ground. Then one day whole I was in Colorado I got a call about a service truck that had been trying to get to the radio station/cell tower on the mountain and had got stuck in the ditch. So I contacted Shawn and Mike and told them to go after them. All went fairly well and they got him out and back to good road. Thank you everyone for watching and supporting us.
