Cadillacs and Chevy trucks allow you to turn on the backrest heat w/o the seat heat. My last job was powertrain calibration in GM trucks and I didn't go a day w/o using those! :)
I was responsible for getting the extra torque out of the 2.7L - It really drives nicer than the V8s. If only we got the 10 speed, it would be even better.
The 1500 tows 9600# like a freight train, up 68 outside of Davis Dam at 114F with zero issues.

I totally get you. One of the reasons I wanted a JT was to have a manual trans.
You should revisit the colorado just to see how much it has changed. I spent roughly 18 months working out of several different prototypes. Sometimes spending 12 hours a day driving across the country. Wasn't a...

As a JTR owner myself, thinking of daily driver, the Colorado wins hands down - but that's not why I bought a JTR instead of waiting for the new...
