The ever expanding world of midsize and light duty fullsize diesels.
In the past several model years, we’ve seen diesel engine options expanding to plenty of vehicles other than 3/4-ton and larger pickup trucks. In particular, several half-ton and even mid-size pickups have had an available diesel option for a few years now. The Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon has been available with the 2.8L four-cylinder LWN Duramax since 2016, the Ford F150 has been available with the 3.0L V6 Power Stroke since 2018, the RAM 1500 has been available with the 3.0L V6 EcoDiesel engine since the 2014 model year, and now we’re just seeing the Chevy Silverado/GMC Sierra 1500 models emerging with the all-new 3.0L six-cylinder LM2 Duramax option for the 2020 model year. The Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon and Suburban/Yukon XL also are getting the 3.0L Duramax option for 2021. It’s becoming quite a trend!
