GM just added a 3. 8-liter Duramax turbo-diesel engine to its two midsize pickups, the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. It joins the likes of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles, which has seen huge popularity for the diesel in its Ram full-size truck, and Nissan, which plans one for its new Titan. The diesel will cost $3,730 more than the comparable truck with the 3. 6-liter V-6 engine in the Colorado. The new diesel will develop 369 pounds-feet of torque, good for towing up to 7,700 pounds in the two-wheel drive version, which GM says is more than for the gas engine. Source: www.usatoday.com
