GM Colorado/Canyon to get diesels

trucks are kind of out of control at the moment. Size, price, options, it's all kind of bonkers.

 

I really do lament the death of the small trucks like the S-10 and Ranger. the new Colorados/canyons are as big as full sizes were 10 years ago. I would say it is about time we got a small diesel truck like ya know the rest of the world has but really are we?

This has been known for a while, but im still excited for it. 2.8L "duramax" inline 4 cylinder if I recall.

 

Pretty much every manufacturer offers a small diesel pickup outside the US. Also, I think I recall hearing the VW Amarok is coming :megusta:

If you're going to have such a dinky bed, at least give it a respectable tow rating...

 

Small trucks: the domestics fucked up the formula since the S10 and Ranger died.

 

Almost 8k#s doesnt cut it? :lolguy:

Like someone else said, basically an old full sized truck. I bet my dads late 90s F250 w/4.6L V8 is rated to tow much less than that.

Hell, to get more tow rating than this in an F150 you have to get the V8 or 3.5 ecoboost. The base 3.5L n/a and 2.7 ecoboost are rated right around what's speculated for this truck & drivetrain +/-
