Baby Duramax (Canyon/Colorado)

Looks good to me. Nice to have a diesel option in a mid sized pick up. It's only 2.8 liters...but that should do the trick for light to medium towing. If you want more...then you need to go up to a full size pickup.

Want more than a full sized pickup... then go up to a Class 5 to 8 truck. It's all about desires, needs and what options are out there to fulfill what you want/need.

This mid size diesel has just increased available possibilities. Some people, many years ago bought diesel Toyota and Nissan pickups. They have not been available in North America for awhile. Now that's changed...smaller diesel trucks are here again.

How good it is...well I'll wait for the first reviews and actual tests.

Thanks for the "Baby Duramax" article. Lots of folks out there wanting to get into RV'ing but can't swing $60,000+ price tags--this might be a good way to go. Lars

So 7700# dead weight behind the bumper, but how about payload #'s? 7700 is worthless if the payload cap is only 7-800 lbs.

Well ain't that sweet. I'm a little surprised by the torque. Thought it would be at least over 400. Maybe they'll turn it up in later models.
