Diesel truck fans take note

I love it when people compare a base model to the highest model.

 

The diesel option on the Colorado is $3,995. If you are buying it for the gas mileage, you will have to own it for a very long time to make it worth it. Obviously there are other reasons to own a diesel, but it doesn't make since to me (or Toyota I guess) to offer it on a midsize truck. I think this option is more about GM raising their average fuel economy ratings to appease the EPA. JMO.

 

Uh no. I have a Pro4x king cab and that is comparing to a z71 extended cab v6 gas with similar options. No idea what the diesel costs but I keep seeing it as a $4500 option.

 

figured you had a tacoma. Not a frontier. My bad. GM Diesel is priced out fully loaded crew cab 4x4 at around 40k.

 

I'm in Canada hence the $45k guestimate. A Z71 v6 ext. cab with a few options is $40k + $4500 for the duramax (if it's even available in that trim ???). Sorry for the vague confusing post, I have very little interest in the GMs with the lack of a manual transmission 4wd and high prices.

 

Its all good. No biggie. If I could get over the look of the Frontier I would have bought one for sure. Best bang for your buck. Just hate the look.

 

It grew on me, I used to hate them.
