    I got 35 mpg on my chevy 2wd Colorado diesel 2.8, on a 125 miles loop couldn't be happier.

    I've always said the EPA underestimates diesel mpg and I also say it's no mistake. They don't want diesels in America.

      Huevo Duro702 Aussie is awesome dude they're the reason America is putting diesels in half tons and mid sized trucks. FCA is going to be putting diesels in their jeeps too. That's all because of demand from Americans after seeing what Australia has been doing for years. People are tired of buying half ton v8 engines that boast 18mpg mixed at best... and really only get 16 mixed.

    it would be super hard to do, but new diesel tests need to factor regins both in their impact on mpg for that tank and how often do they get performed

I'm a complete Diesel Maniac and currently own a 2013 6.6 Duramax....I absolutely loved my 7.3 2001 Ford F-350 but had big issues with the tranny..."as if I had to mention it" lol. Had a few more fords in Diesel including an 06 and an 11. After buying my 13 Sierra 3500, I'll never go back to any other than the Duramax! I have my Canyon for exactly a week to this comment and have put 263mi so far averaging 29.3 mpg.....I'm totally loving it and hate to say it but enjoying it a bit more than the 6.6 at this time!

  • @tlalexander3
    @tlalexander3 2 года назад +1

    I wish you had a mpg test video for the ZR2 Bison with the 2.8. They’re rated at 16/18 which is horrible. I don’t see how a lift and bigger tires can knock it down around 10+ mpg unless the gearing is way different

  • @SurelyYewJest
    @SurelyYewJest 8 лет назад +2

    People complain about the size of this truck for the money, but realize that, other than a somewhat well-equipped half-ton for the same money, no other kind of new vehicle offers all the features this truck has, along with the capability, a size that will fit most garages, car-like manners, AND fuel mileage to boot. After TTL this thing may be $50k, but you get a lot for that money, especially when you consider you don't need to add a backup camera, a trailer brake controller comes standard, as does an exhaust brake. Again, this is $45k for a maxed-out truck. Good luck getting a maxed half-ton anywhere near that price, even if it's a few years old.

    A Diesel engine may not be for *everyone,* I know there will always be people who would complain about the rattling noise diesel engines are known for, but as long as the hood is down, the noise shouldn't be all that bad. And I believe that those who can afford it, and either want or need a small displacement diesel engine should be allowed the option. :)

  • @richarde1355

  • @Trades46
    @Trades46 7 лет назад +1

    Where as diesel is almost dead for passenger cars in North America, a small pickup truck with a diesel makes so much sense. The torque makes it ideal for occasional towing and when used as an everyday vehicle, gets great MPG that rivals midsize cars. Now if it only wasn't so expensive...

    • @ItsPotatoxTornado
      @ItsPotatoxTornado 7 лет назад

      Yeah but you don't have 369lb-ft and no 4wd nor can you tow with it like with the canyon. So in towing and the snow the canyon wins hands down.

  • @eshollen
    @eshollen 5 лет назад

    I was pretty convinced on this truck before watching this video. Now I'm sure I need to buy this. Diesel is what it's all about, I cant wait to test drive it. GMC dealerships seem to be pretty limiting when it comes to different packages including duramax

  • @44hawk28
    @44hawk28 2 года назад

    Chrysler used that same engine and an earlier form at 2.4 L and it put out about 180 horsepower and over 300 ft pounds of torque but I don't remember the exact numbers. The minivans that they put it into in the Dodge Caravans in Australia we're getting 50 miles per gallon on the expressway if you were the single occupant. With seven people in it it would still travel 730 plus miles before you had to refill the 20 gallon fuel tank.
    Add about three to four more pounds of air pressure into the tires, 36 to 38 lb would be good, and possibly get you up to 10% better fuel mileage. And that truck also has probably the worst grill for fuel mileage that they made.

  • @jtaylorls1
    @jtaylorls1 8 лет назад +1

    Good video guys. I like the real world test and how consistent you are. I can't wait too see what Ford and Nissan are going to do in this class. I commute 75 miles everyday, I would love to leave my focus and drive a truck again. great mpg, but the 44k is a bit much.

  • @neitzp
    @neitzp 8 лет назад +1

    Thank you for this test. This and your towing MPG test with this 2.8L diesel is exactly what I wanted to learn about. I know the V6 has already been tested by you, but I would love to see this 98 mile loop test done on that V6 Canyon/Colorado towing and not towing to get a good gas engine comparison against this expensive Duramax alternative?

      guy proulx Chevy has remote start. Way better than push button start. You can start a chevy from your living room in cold weather and it'll be warm when you go out to the truck. Or in hot weather and it wont be a oven when you get in. REAL benefits to that feature. What's the benefit of push button start? Being lazy and not wanting to turn a key lmao. And what do you need a manual for? The autos these days are way more capable and less maintenance.

    • @guyproulx1660
      @guyproulx1660 8 лет назад +1

      Dale Couture you must be one that can't drive a manual like most younger people these days, so you think an auto tranny is better at off roading?? personally i hate push button start, Toyota started this trend to please the american buyers, most Americans keep crying about Toyota for not being innovative so they added push button start to keep them quiet for a while lol, i'm sure that if it was only about Toyota in other countries they would have never added push button start in their trucks and they only would have put it in their luxury cars like Lexus for instance, Toyota isn't known for fixing things that aren't broken and this is the reason they are always on top in past to present reliability ratings

    I'm glad somebody is building a compact diesel p/u. I had hoped some years ago that Mahindra would bring their truck to the US, but that fell through.
    Was this the high-level trim option mentioned? The interior looks bad for an 80s truck. Certainly my '87 Mitsubishi SPX has a better interior finish. What's more, it had the 2.6L four-banger balance-shaft engine. Any info on how they deal with the shake and roll on this 2.8L behemoth?
    Also, for the record, my 2015 Ecodiesel is getting about 25.7 mpg commuting. My best was 32.9 mpg when I first took it on a long trip. Chevy needs to put an 8-speed transmission on their rig.

      +lfsracer79 still it wasn't 28.8 like he said from the ecodiesel. Plus I would think a few mph difference doesn't account for the 2 mpg difference. 2mpg when doing a test is kind of a lot. Just hard for me to believe a few mph effect it that much but I could be wrong

    • @aaronbailey748
      @aaronbailey748 8 лет назад +1

      +Jay Smith fair enough for 10 or more mph I noticed my truck does the same. Especially if I'm at 65mph (under 2k rpm) and if I go 75 (over 2k rpm). However, there was only a 5 mph difference between the tests and my argument is still I think it's unfair to call the canyon the king of mpg when the ram got 33.5 and not 28.8. I'm not even a ram fan. When ford enters this market I'll be the first in line. I'm just saying I don't think this video is all that fair

    @craighoffman8160 7 лет назад

    I had one 35 mile run in my '17 Canyon diesel under admittedly perfect conditions. No traffic, no wind, flat road, cruise set at 65 mph (60-65 mph speed limit the whole way) and it returned 42.5 mpg - no kidding! My truck is a 4x4 CCLB and has the front air dam removed too.
    Wind resistance rises exponentially with speed and 65 mph is the happy crossroads between where the engine wants to be as far as its efficiency and torque production goes (1,800 rpm) and wind resistance. I find in normal keeping up with traffic driving, accelerating in a way that has it upshifting at just over 2,200 and dropping back to 1,800 rpm kicks butt for fuel economy and has the truck thrusting along nicely. Not fast, but steady and with traffic no problem. Driving it this way keeps the engine right around its fat 2,000 rpm torque peak. My average highway mpg is 32.5, I have let my "B" tripmeter run from new, the average lifetime mixed driving mpg is 25.2 over 5,000 miles and it is getting more efficient with miles, as it was in the 24s awhile ago. I am not trying particularly hard to get good mileage either, generally taking off briskly on that satisfying wave of torque from a stop and then cruising efficiently.
    Love my Canyon!

    • @craighoffman8160
      @craighoffman8160 2 года назад +1

      @@zachl6918 Still running great! No issues. It is important to feed any modern diesel a good lubricant/cleaning fuel additive as American diesel fuel kinda sucks. Do that and they can run a long time. The "high pressure common rail" system on any modern diesel needs fuel additive to live a long and healthy life. There are people on the forums who have had their injectors fail, which can cause expensive engine damage. Being a bit of a nut, I run plenty of lube/cleaning additive, and during COVID lockdown I was bored and fabricated up a mounting system and added a 2 micron Racor marine water separator and fuel filter after the stock filter box. My truck's high pressure fuel pump and injectors see nothing but clean and lube enhanced fuel. Adding the 2 micron filter is overkill, but I am an overkill kinda guy - LOL
      At this point my truck is averaging 27.5K MPG over the last 50K miles since adding a Green Diesel Engineering tune. 34 MPG is pretty common on the open road now that it is tuned and broken in. Out on the open road with 440 pound feed of torque (in tuned form) at 2K RPM, once it hits 6th gear the transmission is done shifting until I slow down. It is so effortless on the open road. Cruising at 80 MPH for hours from CO to ID on a long trip in I-80 (80 MPH limit) was a pleasure. Gotta set the cruise, or one can find themselves going 90 plus. The diesel is quiet and with all that fat effortless torque, it just inhales the road with an economy of RPM. If mostly city driving and especially if a lot of shorter trips are involved, I would go with the snappy free revving gas engine and it's 8 speed transmission (diesel has 6 speeds). I love the diesel vibe in a midsize truck and it is outstanding when used in it's highway "sweet spot" a lot, as I tend to do. The diesel does require more owner involvement though, particularly with the fuel additive.
      GM is reportedly going to discontinue the diesel, the next revision of the trucks will offer the 2.7L turbo gas engine with a 10 speed transmission. That should be a fantastic powertrain. The 2.7 is currently being offered as a option in the full size trucks, I think it belongs in the Colorado/Canyon. As for my diesel, I hope to get serious mileage out of it, so it can eventually become an old man in a clean high mileage truck situation ;)

      @@craighoffman8160 Thank you for the quick and detailed response. I'm interested in a mid size truck and I've been researching them. I just read where GM is reportedly going to do a full update for the 2023 model year for the Colorado and Canyon which I think is much needed for the interior, but they're only going to offer 1 engine choice, the 2.7L which means the 3.5L and the diesel will no longer be available. I'm bummed about that.

      @@zachl6918 Don't be buimmed, the 2.7 turbo is gonna be a nice improvement over the 3.6L V6. The V6 is a revvy engine, the 2.7 was designed as a truck engine, with way more bottom end power, which will be nice for towing
      The 2.8 diesel will always be the towing king for these trucks though.

      @@craighoffman8160 True, I agree the 2.7L is better than the 3.5L however I wish that they would still offer the diesel. But at least they're still going to offer an ICE in the times when there's (unfortunately) so much push for EV's. As someone who drives a lot in rural areas an EV will never work unless they can nearly double their range and recharge in 10 minutes.

      I think ram did a good job of the performance vs fuel economy on the 1500 diesel but I don't truck the rams reliability at all. If chevy goes the Titan route I am not interested but if they have similar performance as the ram I would be looking at it. titan is too expensive and not efficient what so ever, probably quite good reliability though.

    • @ludah99
      @ludah99 8 лет назад

      +larry Spiller yes RAM did good with performance of that eco diesel and fuel economy, but as u said just don't trust that brand to invest that kind of money, and the Titan definitely cost to much, might as well get the Sierra 2500 with the 6.6! hopefully GM follows suit with a smaller diesel like RAM.

    +The Fast Lane Truck you guys never really comment on reliability. You guys often say that you wish a certain vehicle would have an 8 speed transmission, 9 speed transmission, what ever, but there are few manufacturers that can make a 4 speed. I mean the American three all have transmission problems in various models, when I can trust them to make a 4/5 speed that doesn't suck then I'd think about more. While you think of more gears as a positive, I just see a whole bunch of problems.

I'd think that either Germany, England, Australia, or Canada would be the most ideal places to have the engine built. Thailand is fine if that's the market you're planning to sell the engine to. But if you're going to sell something *in the USA,* I would think that you'd want it to be *built in the USA.*

      That would be a good mashup. Gas vs diesel mpg and price comparison. I think the gas version only gets about 20 or so mpg so with a diesel you'd be getting an extra 10 mpg. On the toyota forums the new taco people are reporting an average of 21mpg with the v6.
