New 2016 Colorado diesel rating released
LINK Wow a huge increase of 700 lbs more more tow rating than the gasser for almost $4k. Glad I didn't need the diesel option :W

Not sure why some people can't or won't understand that these smaller turbo diesels are way more efficient than Ford's Eco-Boost. Good for GM for understanding that! At 30 mpg highway in my Ecodiesel (when I drive 65 mph) not even the 2.7 EB can come close to it.
I didn't see where the Ecoboost was mentioned in this thread about the Chevy Colorado, but the Ecoboost is not the same class of engine as these smaller diesels. It's more a direct competitor to the traditional gas V8s, with considerably more power than the little diesels and considerably less fuel mileage. Having said that, I think a midsize pickup with decent towing capacity and mid 30s highway mpg is very appealing. Too bad Ram dropped the Dakota a few years back, the 3.0 Ecodiesel would have been a very sweet engine in that truck.
