I built one on GM's site. CC LB 4x4 LT it came in at $38,900 with $4700 in options. So $34,200 without options. Most all have some options when bought so add more to that. Too much $$$ when comparing to a 1/2 ton with discounts. GM doesn't seem to discount like Ford and Ram. So I don't expect them to with the new mini trucks. None the less it will be interesting to see how they do.

Maybe so, but the pricing is competitive with a similarly equipped Tacoma.

These GM trucks are a great size for many people. The market is there. Ford and Chrysler are missing out by not competing in this market. Some people say that the Ford Ranger died because there was no interest in the smaller truck market, and that is total BS. Ford always updated the F150 every year with the latest features and designs and made it into a great truck, and the Ranger was left to die on the vine, which is exactly what it did. Chrysler did the same thing. Even GM did it to some extent with the previous Colorado. The market is there, and GM will do very well in it.

Roush has been performing testing for these vehicles. They have been out towing multiple trailers. Double axle V-nose snowmobile trailers, flatbeds, and the flatbed with front wall.

With the 26 mpg for 2wd V6, this should be decent.

Roush does testing on GM's??

Roush does testing for many OEMs 24 hours a day. They send drivers out for 8 hour shifts.

The GM and Chrysler route crosses my path. So I have seen many of the new vehicles.

When towing trailers, they must put the magnetic Roush sign on the door.

Just another pickup. It'll be old news in 6 months.

This truck will do very well. The only negative thing I recently heard was that the diesel version might not be available until the 2016 model year (fall of 2015). Regardless, this looks like a home run for GM.
