Diesels generally get higher fuel mileage than the EPA numbers. You got higher than the EPA 27 mpg at 29 mpg and their in not doubt that the Colorado would get better than its EPA 29 mph. In fact, most reviewers are getting low 30s on the highway in the Colorado. So it beats the Ecodiesel in fuel mileage from what I have seen. Are you seriously trying to say a larger heavier truck with a larger diesel engine gets better fuel economy than a smaller lighter truck with a slightly small diesel?

Where are you getting the Ecodiesel @ 27mpg? "And as we found, its EPA ratings of 24 mpg combined (21 mpg city, 29 mpg highway) actually underrate its fuel efficiency at highway speeds. The heart of this truck is what gives it the EcoDiesel badge: parent company Fiat Chrysler's 3.0-liter turbodiesel V-6 engine, which you can add to just about any Ram trim level.Apr 27, 2016"

I'm now pulling down 32/33 on the highway do to the tune on my truck. You do know the GM only has a six speed and the Ram has a 8 speed RRRIIIGGGTTT :R Also if the GM weights less it would all be relative as both engines are most likely working as hard given the size & weight of each truck.

OK we get it YOU don't like small displacement diesel engines so WTF are you on a post talking about them? As for pricing I would hope a smaller truck cost less! I priced out a Canyon SLT as close as I could get it to my truck and it was $4K less but without all of the Laramie's options. The GM only has 5/60,000 powertrain coverage the Ram has 5/100,000 can't find any exact numbers for the curb weight of the GM diesel but I bet it is within 1000# of the Ram.
