chevy gives us an idea of the size of the new colorado ahead of la reveal

Having already launched the all new fullsize 2014 Silverado & GMC Sierra pickups and 2015 Heavy Duty versions of those trucks this year, General Motors is turning its attention to midsize trucks as it gets ready to reveal the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon later this month at the Los Angeles Auto Show. GM has already teased photos of parts of those trucks’ front ends and now they’ve released another image, this time of a draped Colorado sitting next to the new Silverado.

While the new truck is covered up, the photo does give us an idea of its scale, which appears to be significantly larger than the previous Colorado. Production will begin next year at GM’s Wentzville, Missouri assembly plant. Chevy says that it “is engineered to be the most capable, most versatile and technologically advanced midsized truck in the market.”. You can watch the reveal live from the LA show on November 20 here.

Here's the Izuzu version of the Colorado. Different body treatment, engine and drive train. Looks much nicer. http://www.themotorreport.com.au/54424/2013-isuzu-d-max-ls-u-and-sx-crew-cab-and-space-cab-ute-launch-review

So Ford does not want to bring the new Ranger to the US because it's not much smaller than a full size and GM is doing it anyway... There is still a big difference in engineering between a full size and a mid size and, that does not mean a difference in performance. It means a big advantage in fuel savings with comparable performance and reliability. I suspect GM is betting on the eventual death of the full size, or at least, a majority move to "mid" size. I also think they are on the money, this time.

  @Beerboy12 - There's currently no domestic Big 3, mid-size trucks and that's worth an automatic 100,000+ sales. Cities, counties and other government offices buy import brands as a last resort. It's the same with many fleet customers, especially in middle America. Mostly strippers at a huge discount. GM gets instant sales success. Likely at the expensive of profitability. GM is still GM.

MaintenanceCosts Poorly packaged, oddly proportioned small CUV with an unrefined hybrid powertrain and a luxury-market price? Who wouldn't want it?
MaintenanceCosts Who knows whether it rides or handles acceptably or whether it chews up a set of tires in 5000 miles, but we definitely know it has a "mature stance."Sounds like JUST the kind of previous owner you'd want…
28-Cars-Later Nissan will be very fortunate to not be in the Japanese equivalent of Chapter 11 reorganization over the next 36 months, "getting rolling" is a luxury (also, I see what you did there).
MaintenanceCosts RAM! RAM! RAM! ...... the child in the crosswalk that you can't see over the hood of this factory-lifted beast.
3-On-The-Tree Yes all the Older Land Cruiser’s and samurai’s have gone up here as well. I’ve taken both vehicle ps on some pretty rough roads exploring old mine shafts etc. I bought mine right before I deployed back in 08 and got it for $4000 and also bought another that is non running for parts, got a complete engine, drive train. The mice love it unfortunately.
