It was previously predicted that the Chevrolet Colorado will have no problem taking the lead from the Toyota Tacoma when it arrives but the slow production rate and the arrival of the new Toyota Tacoma keep the Tacoma on the top.
It was later believed that Chevrolet might have decided to add on the diesel-powered model to give the Chevrolet Colorado a better fighting chance. The Chevrolet Colorado Diesel model will be coming in with a 2.8 liter four cylinder diesel engine that will be delivering about 181hp and 269lb ft of torque.
The Chevrolet Colorado Duramax will be able to return about 22mpg in the city and 31mpg on the highway with the 2WD system and 20mpg in the city and 29mpg on the highway with its 4WD model.
Another positive review about the Chevrolet Colorado Duramax is how quiet it is. It is still noisy since this is a diesel-powered model after all but Chevrolet did do a great job of keeping the noise level down.
