    Duramax Canyon/Colorado

    Nice to see some reviews rolling in on this one.. For as often as i use my truck as a truck, i find myself wanting for something a bit smaller. The crewmax tundra is nice for the kids, but the MPG is a bummer and i dont use the bed nearly as often as i should... The little duramax has had...

    assassin's creed syndicate

    Didnt see a post so thought i would toss my 5% review up.. 1. Graphics are much better and smoother on PS4 than Unity. Game looks great 2. At least in the beginning, the game is MUCH harder than the last few have been. More like an ACII or III. Baddies are much more nervious, and running...

    After a couple of seasons towing a camper that was marginal in the half ton, we are going to do some big cross country camping trips next year and I think a 3/4 ton with a diesel is going to be the way to go. *Insert, do you really need a truck, why not rent a truck, who actually needs a...

    Got rid of the D675 and got a new toy

    It might not go as fast but its WAY more fun. It will still cruise at highway speeds without much fun, 120 is out of the question though. It you ever get a chance to ride a well set up Sumo jump at the chance, you will be wanting to by one!!!
