[b][/b]Very nice Colorado I’ve owned since new. It’s pretty well loaded including bed mat, tonneau cover, running boards, trailering package, touch screen audio, power windows and power/heated front seats. 31-32 mpg highway and 25/26 mpg just running around. Only 53300 miles! Asking $30,000.  Kelly Blue Book values it at $31-$35. I thought I'd add some comments answering questions I've received, mostly about the diesel engine: * This is an engineered diesel, not a converted gas engine. It is a 2.8L Duramax Turbo Diesel. * This small diesel does not have the black smoke and smell associated with the bigger/older diesel engines * The vehicle has the trailering package, including tow/haul mode, trailer brake controller, hitch, wiring, and exhaust brake. It is rated for 7700 pounds * Servicing the engine is not much different than a gas engine. Regular oil changes and topping off the DEF tank is the normal service. * It actually gets 30-32 mpg on the highway, and 25 mpg on normal day to day driving. * From a cost perspective, the mpg is about 25% better than the gas version of the Colorado, while diesel prices (in my area) are 14% higher than gas, thus providing an overall fuel savings.

Good luck with sale.

My guess is, it was at the kinds of speeds that make obvious that the slower trucks were struggling.
I used to gloat when I was driving from LA to Vegas in my 500 CI Eldorado, blowing by all the motor homes at 80 MPH while they struggled to maintain 45. Of course, to be fair, my gas mileage was only marginally better than theirs, but gas was a buck a gallon back then.
