The new Chevrolet Colorado is rumored to be available with a 2.8 liter turbo diesel engine. Not only would it make a good tow vehicle but after a while the engines will be available at the bone yard to swap into your favorite trail rig. :dance:

Love Chevy and love diesel, but never liked the Colorado. I've been driving them daily at work for about 4 years now and their interiors are always falling apart and they always have stupid little mechanical issues. We need a Jeep pickup with a diesel motor. :-D

I've seen one of those at a dealer in Phoenix. It's basically a conversion kit for the JK Unlimited. Nice, but still not really a truck.
