Chevrolet Colorado diesel engine pricing released
Posted on 7/30/15 at 4:52 am

$3,730 dollar premium for this little 4 banger. 2.8L Duramax. 181 hp and 369 lb. ft torque. Only raises towing capacity by 700 lbs. The big question is gas mileage which hasn't been released yet. What say the OB. Worth the extra?
(side note - I think gmc is purposefully keeping production lower than demand to keep their profit margin up on these trucks. You can't hardly find them anywhere.)

So how much would a diesel with leather, 4x4 run?

So you buy a $30k truck, and are supposed to pay 12.5% of the vehicle's cost for a different engine that costs 4x as much to keep running? Something tells me they aren't trying to sell these, and it's either a gimmick or has something to do with the EPA mandates
You can also get an I-4 with 193/184 or a V6 with 305/270 without paying anything extra on top of your trim package

Why would anyone want a truck that size in a diesel? The premium price seems to make it not worth it.

$3700 more expensive, $1 higher per gallon fuel cost, double the maintenance cost just 700 lbs extra towing capacity? Noooope

Why does anyone think the diesel option would mean a significant increase towing capacity? That's more a limitation of the chassis, drivetrain, and tires. Probably has less payload capacity since the diesel weighs more.

That thing better get 35 plus MPG to make up for the cost your going to pay.

I see a problem with offering the diesel in only the LT and z71. With that premium on top of those packages, the price will be in base Silverado territory. It would be more reasonable if offered in the work truck/base.
I just bought one with the V6 and it performs as well as I hoped, but I seriously considered getting another Silverado. Price difference of $5K, similarly equipped. I like the feel and handling of the smaller truck, and it will do everything I need it to do.

That's a nice little truck there

The problem with trucks is not the towing capacity. It's the ability of the truck to be able to even handle that load. Why do you need a heavy pulling truck in a mid sized?
