In reply to Kreb:
Most modern light-duty stuff has an additional limiting factor on loading it to or above the spec-ed payload on a regular basis. Independent rear suspension is bad for tire wear with varying loads. Add weight, suspension compresses, rear tires gain lots of camber. So you get significant inside edge wear when carrying a load. Doing that regularly puts a big dent in tire life.
That's one of the big reasons why most heavier duty vehicles still have solid axles at the load-carrying end.

The older Colorados were actually small for the most part.
So of course everyone bought them with four doors and 4wd and GM started making them friggen huge.
The success the Baja has in the secondary market says there is plenty of interest, just not at $30k.
If this thing slots in under $22k it will sell, under $18k and it'll be hard to find one to buy.
In reply to oldopelguy:
Agreed. A lot of the people who want small trucks are the people who either don't have the money to buy a new, larger truck. Or they look at the small truck, realize the bigger truck is barely any more $$$ and just buy the bigger one.
considering the fords the local dealer has for sale seem to start at 50 grand and go up to 75 when fully optioned out, this would do very well in the 20s

The giant wheels and physical bulkiness of modern cars means it still looks gigantic compared to an S10 or Ranger.
