Diesel enthusiasts in the U.S. haven’t been able to buy a new midsize pickup with an oil-burning engine under the hood at any time during this century. After more than four years of engine development specifically for the needs of North American customers, General Motors is offering the 2.8L Duramax LWN diesel engine in the ’16 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon. In addition to making sure the engine meets EPA emissions requirements at all times, the engineers involved in the design of the powertrain minimized noise and vibrations while making sure the engine could perform in any climate or altitude you’ll find in the U.S.

GM hasn’t used a diesel in a full-size SUV since 1999, and now it has a veritable stable of oil-burners. In addition to the Suburban, the Chevy Tahoe, Cadillac Escalade, and GMC Yukon and Yukon XL received diesel options for 2021 as well. The engine made its debut in the 2020 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks.
