      Has anybody heard if and when there will be a diesel option offered in the 1500 series pickups? I am currently shopping for a 1/2 ton pickup and I am a diesel fanatic. So far it looks like my choices are the Ram 1/2 ton or stepping up to a 3/4 ton, which I really don’t need. I am willing to wait if I knew one would be offered soon.

      Nothing. They claim they will have a diesel engine in the Canyon/Colorado but not in the 1500 series trucks. They have calculated the engine would not be worth the engineering costs I presume. Years back when they had the engine option in the 1500’s the sales were slow.

      There has been talk by some GM insiders, that the 4.5 diesel is being dusted off and brought up to spec. I guess will have to wait and see for 2016 if it will be offered in the 1500 and SUVs.
