I put a receiver hitch on mine. It is the same one for a 1984 one ton chevy four wheel drive. They had to cut out the bottom of the U channel for the shackle brackets to get it to fit. The wiring harness is just a standard trailer harness with the power connection to a block on the fire wall...

5,000 lbs is my limit! Thanks!

That is a great idea!!! I will check that option out!!!!

Empty the trailer weighed 3154lbs full 5000lbs, but they don't make it anymore. Thor industries makes a similar trailer. You have to look on their web site and look at all models until you find it. The model I have is the Eco 18QB. QB is for queen bed. I hope this answers your questions if not...

Yes I know I need to paint the trailer to match the truck.aua

Well took the truck and trailer on it's first road trip together. Could hardly tell the trailer was back there execpt for it being a little slower to accelerate up to speed. The event was the PNW Rally in Napavine WA. If you missed it don't miss it next year.

:beer:Another update on the progress. Have since the last update completed the lubing of the rear wheel bearings as well as installed new rear brake shoes and had the drums turned, drained and filled the transfer case, drained the tranny changed the filter and installed a new aluminum trans pan...

Sorry that is to late for me. The earliest I will get off of work will be 4:00 Pm:(

Yes I know I have to paint the trailer to match:deadhorse:

I just got off work and home now. Tommorrow again I have to work. How late and where does the car show last in steilacoom? Sunday and Thursday are my days off this week.

Scott would like to meet up sometime. If you go to Fort Lewis on North Gate Road you drive right by my house. The beast is hard to miss.

I plan on keeping the stock gearing. With the 255/85r16s she does 70 mph on the freeway no problem:-P

I have bought my M1031 and I am in the process of doing all the maintenance on it before I start pulling my trailer on long trips. When I get the milage worked out I will let everyone know. What I have done so far is put a trailer hitch on bothe the front and rear, installed a brake controller...

I would leave the prius out there too except I don't litter.[thumbzup]

This would be an addon truck, my colorado does great job as far as it was designed to do. Now I want to do a little more. The mileage listed are for unloaded highway miles. As for speed that is not an issue either, as long as it is safe on the freeway and get where a prius can't.:D

The colorado has the inline five. The truck I had before was a S-10 regular cab no frills pickup with a four banger. It got about 25mpg. The colorado is loaded and both were/are two wheel drive. I commute 25 miles each way everyday to work mostly the opposite direction of most of the traffic so...

I think that is the whole point. Getting anywhere I would want to take my trailer and maybe a little further off the trail with the most style points. I am in.8)

The 30mpg is empty without towing a trailer the 8mpg is the high pulling a trailer, so ten is a big plus for me, plus as you say the cool factor goes way up. Thank you any and all information is most welcome, Dwayne PS here is a picture of my truck and trailer and I do think it would look even...

I have 18ft camper trailer and a 2004 chevy colorado pickup. The pickup tows the trailer just fine but the gas mileage goes from almost 30mpg down to about 8mpg. I am a mechanic and thought the M1031 would be the prefect truck for me. What do you think? What kind of Mpg do they get and where can...
