I'd have to wonder if the little coal burner in the Colorado is going to give that torquey, punchy diesel power feeling......... But I have a hunch that the little guy they're sticking in these little trucks will be more reminiscent of driving an old 6.2 as opposed to a Duramax.
It won't feel like a V8. But compared to the V6 gas engine, max torque is 100ft/lbs more and at 2000 vs the gas truck max tq is at 4000. Max hp is less but about 3000 rpm lower, where the gas engine is probably making about the same power. It'll feel a lot torquer where it's needed.
