    I wonder if there's an performance advantage of one configuration vs. the other.
    In line 6's have, or use to have, more torque that a V-6

    Most people seem happy with their EcoDiesels on the facebook groups. Few stories of serious mechanical issues, but many more enjoying them than not.

    Other than Emissions issues (DEF), mine has been great and fun to drive in the wife's Grand Cherokee. MPG has fallen off this winter with the heavier tires I put on it. Mostly city is 19mpg. (with my foot in it a lot!) Summer trip with the family we were right at 28mpg with four people and some luggage.

    I like the Colorado and the small duramax, It would be a great replacement for my Honda car someday. I'm waiting to see what Chevy has in the half ton coming out soon.

    That doesn't mean "stairs are bad" nor does it make someone who pushes someone down the stairs any less of an asshole.

    I know you're looking at the baby duramax, but when I ask users on here about a full size truck, they pointed me towards a Nissan Titan. It's more like a 5/8ths truck.... big interior, but not quite a massive hauler. After reason and doing some digging, I considered a 2017, almost fully loaded, they go for about $40,000. But just like all new designs, it will have its bugs and quirks, so get the warranty.

    hope that helps

    I would definitely check out the titan with a Cummins, the look pretty nice. I love the 1/2 ton and midsize diesel market that’s coming out.

    Based on this topic i started looking at the Diesel Canyon & Colorado trucks. Personally i'm not about to pay more for a new truck, either mid or full size than my house cost. Now that that's out of the way. 1 yr old / used under 50K miles seem to be running in the $15-21K range, with remaining warranty available.

    I own a Colorado with the duramax. It is great. I tow my sxs with it, don't notice it at all. Runs great and looks good also. I kept my F250 for the camper, so the difference is noticeable between the 2. For around town, it's great.

    That's exactly what we did with the diesel Cruze. $30k when new...$14k for a 1.5 to 2 year old car with <25k miles and over a year's worth of bumper-to-bumper. Good way to go.

    I have a 2018 Canyon and a 2014 Tacoma both are the 4 door 4x4. I like both trucks if toyota would ever add a diesel to the line up I might get another toyota because I think the canyon is better around town and I average 28 MPG and the taco gets about 18. I tow a travel trailer to south park with the taco and it gets about 9 mpg. I haven't towed with the canyon yet but it does have the tow package so it is a matter of time and I will let you know how it does.

    The rest of the world gets to buy a Toyota Tacoma with a diesel. It's called a HiLux and is probably the most prolific small pickup in the world today. 22 city, 27 highway, 3500 lbs towing. Just another thing our government doesn't want us to have.

    And I would still like a rust free late 1970's F150/F100 with a 4BT engine and a NV4500 transmission.
