Agreed, but I paid under $40k for the truck in my sig.

You got a screaming deal for sure. A bare bones truck like the one in your sig has an MSRP of $48K. Optioned out similar to what a diesel Colorado comes with standard puts it way over $50K MSRP. If one could get the same pricing on a diesel Colorado it would be in the low 30s.

MSRP was $51k on mine, I paid $39k. It's an ST optioned out with all the basic SLT features (cloth, carpet, chrome, uconnect 5.0, etc), plus some functional stuff like 4wd, anti-spin diff, brake controller, spray in bedliner, cold weather, protection and a few other minor options. It basically has what you'd get in your garden variety SLT/XLT type trim level trucks sitting on lots. Not overly fancy but not a fleet truck either. Plus a Cummins motor of course.

I agree with you that part of the problem with this little duramax is you can only get it on the higher trim levels, but in the real world that's going to push the prices up to where it may not make much sense to a lot of people to get a baby diesel.
