As far as the motor goes, be ready for really expensive oil changes and fuel filters. Beyond, that, I don't have much. It will probably run to 300k if you treat it right.

I'm 6'2, 270#s. Been driving 3/4 ton diesels since 07 (still have one).
The ColoRAYdo is impressive, though small. Roomy enough, but noticeably smaller than full size.
I pull a 12' trailer w a gate, loaded down w pro fxt mule & gear. No issues. Pull my 24' toon as well. Gets 30+ mpg hwy, bout 27-28 city. 18-20 mpg trailering.
I bought it for a huntn rig. KS trips mainly.
40k mi so far, so good (knock on wood).
Free oil changes for life (SW Paul's Valley, OK).
With all that said....My wife LOVES it!
I prefer my 04 goat.

I will say though no bigger than it is, it is fairly comfortable, he has a crew cab mind you. I drive an f350 so I am used to plenty of space. It is small but not uncomfortable. Dad put a leveling kit and upsized the wheels and tires slightly. He has had it a little over a year and it has served him well. He does his own maintenance also, so not sure what the cost difference is in the diesel vs gas.
I've been in a Powerstroke for 5 years.I don't think I'll ever drive a gas truck.I just like 'em.This is a toy compared to a powerstroke,but I dig it's off road capability(ZR2)Plus I like the fact it sounds like my Kubota while it's idling!😂
Thanks again bubba!
