lets hope its not a 7k option like the duramax. I think this could be a big seller if they price it right

GM is doing stuff right again!
I agree that it will be a huge seller if they play their cards right. Diesel is becoming more and more popular, but not everyone needs a 3/4 ton truck.
A good example of said targeted consumer would be ME!

Hopefully since its not as big as the “regular” 6.6 Duramax itll be a lest costly option.
Imagine a RWD Impala with a diesel? That would be fuckin’ SWEET

American car companies have had diesel engines in their export vehicles for a while now, it was just a matter of time before we got them.
