New truck

[Mosby]

I've had a bunch of problems these last few years with my 2018 Chevy Colorado diesel and I've decided it is simply too unreliable and becoming too expensive for me to keeping paying for repairs. Fuel prices at the pump aren't great right now either. I'm going back to gas. Great when it runs but the issues are becoming to frequent and its going to leave me stranded in the middle of no where one of these days. I just don't trust it or the mechanics who keep charging me to fix it. Wife is out of town or course, so I'm limited until she gets back but I'm going to do some internet shopping, figure out what my truck is worth on trade and buy something in the next couple weeks before I have to put any more money into what I have. When I was growing up, it was a big deal when my parents bought a new car. It didn't happen often. Can't say I'm too excited about it but its probably a good time to revisit storage options like the Decked system and/or maybe getting an insulated dog box with a fan for the back, since most new trucks have 12v hook ups in the bed these days.

Saw this box at a recent hunt test. Owner is a professional so this is a year round set up. I normally like to have a topper and there are times I need the back for coolers, tents etc., so I'm not sure this type of set up will work for me but it seems like a good time to revisit what my options are. Right now I just put my kennels in the back in the beginning of the season and take them out in January. I am getting my truck windows tinted this time but I haven't decided anything else. Probably switch out the tires, depending on what comes with the truck too.

Any other ideas/changes I should consider or that you're planning on your next hunting truck?
