Chevy Colorado (smaller pickup) and Yukon or Voyager

[Goosepride]

Hey - I'm looking at buying a Yukon or Voyager, but based on dimensions, I don't think there is anyway I can carry it in the box of my pickup. Do any of you drive a smaller pickup and haul these around?

Thanks!

Goosepride, an X2 fits into the back of a Tacoma. I'm guessing that the Yukon would fit for sure.

I have a Ranger and my Voyager just fits in the box.

I have the Chevy Colorado its got a big enough box to carry my Frabil Trecker and my power auger plus some ramps that I use when I am loading and unloading by myself so it should be no problem for you to fit what ever in the back of it

I have a king cab 4-door tacoma and my Yukon just barley fits, but I can get the tailgate up.

I'm not sure what the width of a Colorado box is, but if it's close to the back of a Trailblazer (with back seats down), it may not fit...the Yukon may. I have to return an X2 Trap because I have discovered the poles do not collapse completely. Fortunately, there was one set-up at a store for me to look at before I started putting the thing together...it was a gift. Nice gift, but can't use it.

You can get the demensions online at the company that sells them...I believe if you download the manual it will tell you.

I have a voyager and it fits in my colorado. It is tight.

Lefsadog - do you have a two or four door colorado?

Thanks!

My Crew Cab Z-71 Colorado has a 5' bed.

I can fit my Fish Trap Guide in there with all my gear, no problem.

The Yukon and Voyager are too long and won't fit in a 5' bed.

My son has a Z71 extended cab and we put the Yukon in the back of it Saturday night and had room to spare with the tailgate shut.. Not a lot of room but it fit none the less. Hint when you drive home from the lake to not leave the fish pail in the back of the open bed truck! You end up with a big fish lolipop. Take care and N Joy the Hunt././Jimbo

Thanks Skeets...that's the same setup I have. I'm guessing I could go with the Yukon though and put the tailgate down. I think the Yukon is like two inches too long for the bed, so I could probably either put the tailgate down or put the tailgate up and lift the house over the end of the tailgate.

How do you like your Colorado?

What have you been getting for gas milage?

I have had mine just a month now with 1,000 miles on it.

I have averaged only about 16-17 MPG.

The MPG is the only thing I have been somewhat dissapointed in.

Everything else, works great, so far!

I was told by my dealer that the MPG should increase as the engine gets broke in, any truth to that?

[Goosepride]

Skeets - I have about 15,000 on mine now and I suppose I get around 19-20 with it. It's actually been getting better. Most of my miles are on the Interstate and then it gets a tad better.

I had a little Geo Tracker 2 door convertible last winter, and I went to Tractor Supply and bought a 4X6 expanded metal utility trailer for $399. Worked slick for ice fishing, threw the house, auger on the trailer and the rod bag, minnow bucket and tackle bag in the Geo with me. Plus, having a little utility trailer around has come in handy for other things.
