How many of you want a more efficient 4 cylinder powerplant for the gladiator?

4cyl? No thanks. I want a beefy V-8, with huge power. Bigger is better in the question of powerplants. Always. With a big V-8 I don’t have to juice it all the time, but I can. I’m not always towing, but I can. This is just another shiny new thing. I’ll pass

Just for sh*ts and giggles, I went onto the 'Build your Colorado' website and priced out a similarly equipped Colorado as my Overland. Can't get heated seats or remote start


Anywho, priced it with the 2.7L Duramax turbo engine, 310 hp and 410 ft lbs of torque, and it came in around $41K.

The tow rating on these things with the Duramax? 7,700 lbs ???

They also put that engine in the full size Silverado/Sierra. I'm guessing that due to the increased weight of the full sized truck, the towing capacity is a little less (didn't check those websites).

I'm very happy with my Overland and it tows my 27' trailer very nicely.
