GregTex, where do you get your information? The Colorado is offered with a V8 engine. No other small truck has a V8. And the Ranger is so outdated it would not be a worthy pickup to pick from.
S. TexI would love to have this. Only one problem. Who had the big Idea of putting it on a Colorado? That is about the worst platform for a small truck you can get. How about the more popular Tacoma or Ford Ranger. Or at least the option, come on northstar, the colorado is junk.
MarkGreat idea, but community association rules say I can't park a flat bed truck in my driveway. I suspect a lot of people would have that problem.
roy parkeri think its a great idea. i have a chevy 3500 flatbed dump with 8x9 ft. bed. i would love to put a camper on it.
Ken GI really like this idea. I have a pickup but I lived in Australia for a while where flatbeds and flatbed campers are common. Makes a lot of sense putting a camper on a bigger area. Also many of these trucks like the Chevy Clorado have really good mpg figures. Like it.
