I got a question about driving in higher elevations. last year, we took a trip to CO and went from RMNP to Durango. While we were on 550, my brother-in-laws suburban began to sputter and have fuel delivery issues. The vehicle even stalled on us a few times. He said this was due to vapor lock but I wasn't so convinced because it is a newer vehicle and I thought this mostly happened to older cars. Anyone ever had "issues" while driving in higher elevations in the Taco? I hope someday soon to make the trip with my wife in the Taco and have a slight concern. thanks
