i can see this being fairly popular, as long as the cost of the diesel isnt that much. with speculated power 1500 models will have almost as much as their big brother 2500 gassers.

So you are going to have a weak ass diesel on a weak ass frame and people are going to try to tow houses? Great.

People think the tundra can tow the space shuttle, so there will always be dumb out there.

Just a cool alternative to getting a gas truck if you don't need a larger diesel.

A well tuned, emissions deleted diesel, in a 1500/Colorado would be a much better MPG setup than a gas engine.

GM had he MiniMax, but the costs were running out of control.

Cummins has a 5.0 diesel engine that they developed for Nissan's Titan, but Nissan backed out and they are left with a really expensive engine program. GM was in talks to use it for the K2XX trucks.

VM Motori was a joint venture between GM and Fiat. The Cruze's diesel is made by the same company.
The Colorado has a diesel engine already. Basically, Dodge will use a diesel V6 to combat the Ecoboost from Ford.

Thank you, but this is not new.

I was asking if this may prompt GM to bring said diesel in the Colorado to the states, or develop a diesel 1500 chassis. GM only has the 4.8/5.3 to compete with the ecoboost ford BS right?

Like a 1 ton truck? Don't think GM makes a 1 ton SRW anymore. And DRW trucks are just silly.

Somewhere, out in the boa land of misguided posts, you said something along the lines of there is no point in owning a truck if it isn't full size.

Get your game together brah. New GM trucks have all new engines. No more 4.8, but an all-new Gen V 4.3 V6, 5.3 V8, and 6.2 V8. GM has a twin-turbo V6 for the trucks coming,

I would take a diesel in a 1500 for the fuel economy. I wouldn't need to tow or haul a lot of weight so for someone like me it would be a good choice. But def not for everyone
