Boondocking with Chevy Colorado

[Tommys]

There is a rumor about a 50/50 split on boondocking with a Chevy Colorado. But it's higher, much higher in real-life scenario situations such as solo campers and vehicle-dependent explorers.
I know, I know, "it's not what you drive..." but for me, it's been a hell of a surprise!

Can you relate?

Absolutely you can. We have a small trailer we often bring, but when the trails are a bit tougher we leave the trailer behind and boondock out of our quite easily.

Not sure what you are saying? So is the Chevy Colorado good for Boondcking?

Guess it would come down to what you consider a reasonable level of comfort.

Boondcking is more of a long term camping thing than Overlanding. That is if I am getting the definitions right?

I guess I'll be interested to see what this thread brings out.

Ya, not sure what this discussion is about. The Colorado is a formidable overlanding vehicle with surprising trail prowess.

Yea, when I think boondocking, I think R.V.'s.

any pick up you can drop the tailgate and cook SPAM on is a good pick up...

When I was young we was so poor we didn't have a tailgate, we cooked it on the hood....

Boondock here is defined as a primitive camp site dependent on your vehicle. The Chevrolet Colorado is a mule. It has taken me to the farthest places and to the closest comfort.

As depicted in the video, you can see in storm, travel, and camping it takes care of me well

Nice.

I just bought a ZR-2 and just getting started outfitting it.

 

[Tommys]

Should be ready, right?

Should be ready, right?

Off roading wise I feel like it is pretty ready. Still a few things I want to do.

After years in SUV type of vehicles the storage is a little different. Easier but more exposed.

Easiest thing would be to go with a camper shell but don't care for the "old man" look. I add that on my own. Leaning towards a Diamond Back cover and working out from there.

 

[Tommys]

Right on!

I love my Bison and find it to be just about perfect for everything I do… so long as I don’t reset the trip meter when I fill the tank haha. I recently started to wonder again how a shell could enhance its abilities in this arena.

Would love to see your Colorados or Canyons here so feel free to share!

I know there has to be a bunch of us so I’d love to see what my fellow OB members are doing with their Colorados and Canyons. Let’s see pictures, hear plans, and share links to build threads! For me it was only a matter of time before I bought one since both my brother and father in law had...
