FCA Proposes a Merger with Renault

They are not the same frames from what I have read. The US Colorado/Canyon frame is longer to accommodate for the longer beds in our market. The US frame is also supposedly 40% lighter due to the use of "high-strength steel" while still having the same yield strength according to GM

I do not think so as you can get 10ft Utility beds on the Colorado here US payloads are a lot less
