Since when did Towing become the main purpose of a small pickup? Well, except here on an RV web-board, I guess.

I'd just like a small truck for the stuff I have to use a utility trailer for now -- going to the dump, grab some cement bags, and pretending I can fix stuff myself. I don't need a freekin F350 for that!

I think the issue is these are not the mini trucks of past but approaching the 1/2 ton market relative to size. So now we wait and see if GM can successfully carve out this niche that is really a blurred small truck/half ton truck. I personally would be up for a small truck just to do errands around town or lugging the bikes to the trail. But the Colorado is so close to the 1/2 ton market I would just go slightly bigger.
