Oh yeah, I'm leaving tomorrow on vacation with my grandkids to the Grand Canyon - lots of snow forecast, glad to have more confidence that my truck will make the trip!


I sure hope you find it as beautiful as we did (11-07)!


Before Long Legs and Trotter get to it, why do you think that we should agree that the Grand Canyon is beautiful. Yes, you cannot have an opinion.

I'm glad this is settled like adults.:lol::lol::lol::lol:

Gull, no argument from me that the Grand Canyon is beautiful! I won't presume to speak for jdtrotter, she's got to come up with her own opinion.;) The only question that came to my mind when dk posted it was "WHERE IN BAJA was that pic taken?" but I restrained myself from posting that question!:?::lol::lol:

Well, since you asked---Grand Canyon, IMHO, has too many tourists and can not compare to the series of canyons lumped together as Copper Canyon---both top side and at the bottom. :lol::lol:

They are in Mexico, but since they are not in Baja, I won't post pictures even though a few of us sneaked in a few pictures of that marvelous place before. :lol::lol:

The Grand Canyon is beautiful---it is just all those tourists!

If you know where to go, (and there are dozens of places to go) you can avoid tourists altogether at the Grand Canyon. I have been to both GC (lived there for a year) and Copper Canyon-----sorta comparing apples and oranges, to me, as they are so different. I will take the Grand Canyon tho--------to see it is sooooooooo much more "moving", at least to me. Copper Canyon is so jumbled up------really a series of many canyons, but still spectacular.

It appears to me that David was simply responding to somebody elses reference to "the Canyon", you know like trying to be helpful, like he is so want to do. And, it was a great picture. :yes:

If any of you have stood on the rim of Yosemite Valley and looked down you know how it feels. You feel like throwing up. The Grand Canyon is different, however. I never feel that way looking down from the south rim.

Thanks Hansen. I have the same 2003 truck as yours, and fortunately no problems at all, though it has only 80k miles. I'll check that transfer case.

The engine, of course, is made by Isuzu, though I have no idea where. China? I hope not. Mine has been faultless so far, though the only real stress trip it has made was towing a double axle boat trailer from Calif. to Acapulco, and then back over the pass into Mexico City, and then Texas.

Best of luck to you and your truck for the future.
