GMC aiming to climb the small truck diesel hill also:
Just for the fun of it, tried to build one to get a look at the price but diesel engine was not yet an option. Doesn't state here but I think a 7700 lb tow rating. Couldn't find anything on MPG. Interesting, but a bit small for me i think.
NEW DURAMAX DIESEL ENGINE
Like the legendary Duramax V-8, Canyon’s available all-new Duramax 2.8L I-4 Turbo Diesel engine delivers abundant torque and horsepower—doing it all with stingy efficiency. The Duramax 2.8L features a variable-geometry turbocharger for optimal power and efficiency across the rpm band and a balance shaft for greater smoothness. Stay tuned to gmc.com for fuel economy ratings, which are expected to be released fall, 2015.
Other Duramax features and specs:
181 horsepower at 3400 rpm and 369 lb-ft of torque at 2000 rpm
Segment-first exhaust brake uses engine compression to slow the truck down, reducing the amount of conventional braking needed while driving downhill
Includes an integrated Trailer Brake Controller
B20 Biodiesel capable
Paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission
