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.
Sometimes people trip and fall down stairs.
Sometimes assholes push people down stairs.
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
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.

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.

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