Wait wait wait, I'm not seeing manual transmission?

They need to put the Canyon up dammit.

Here's my Colorado tho.

Kinja'd!!!

That price is really good actually. At least IMO.

I need it.

At my dealership, we've ordered this and should be seeing it within the next couple months. I'm pretty excited!

Gotta do the 2wd extended cab long bed, with the 4 cyl engine, in one of the bottom two trim levels.

Can't get the locker or tow pkg with it though. I would personally get the manual just to not have to deal with the atrocious shifter in the auto.

Here's mine. Stripper truck baby.

It's not bad.

Nibbles > HammerheadFistpunch
09/03/2014 at 16:02

Hell yeah it is. Not even fully optioned and it encroaches $40k? Nope.avi

Wow, we have very similar strippers! N

A TRD Tacoma is 3 grand less than a Z71 and its about the same for the frontier. The diesel option is going to be well into the 40's

What motor and trans?

TheD0k_2many toys 2little time > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 16:07

Nope. Ill stick with my old f150 and dads ranger. Both look better than that junk

ly2v8-Brian > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 16:16

I will... When I'm not at school. That base price is tempting as all get out.

mcseanerson > ly2v8-Brian
09/03/2014 at 16:18

I know. This might be the new family vehicle. Have to find out how kids do in a booster seat.

ly2v8-Brian > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 16:19

Any mileage figures?

mcseanerson > ly2v8-Brian
09/03/2014 at 16:21

Autoblog link. 26 mpg highway which is way better than the competition. That's with the V6. I can't wait for the diesel.

ly2v8-Brian > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 16:22

not bad

mcseanerson > ly2v8-Brian
09/03/2014 at 16:22

Yeah I'm curious how both the 4 cylinder and the diesel do.

ly2v8-Brian > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 16:24

I expect high 20s with both maybe cracking the 30s

mcseanerson > ly2v8-Brian
09/03/2014 at 16:24

If I bought the 4 cylinder petrol motor a turbo would be in the pipeline (get it, ha).

ly2v8-Brian > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 16:26

stop, the want is reaching critical mass.

Slicc > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 16:28

Was looking forward to this truck but I see no way of getting this with a 4 cylinder 4WD manual. Lame.

Milky > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 17:14

This is the way I'd get it. But I'm still not as sold on this guy as everyone else. I don't think it looks that good and the mileage isn't that great either. I'd take a ram instead, either with a Hemi or Ecodiesel.

Kinja'd!!!

mcseanerson > Milky
09/03/2014 at 17:16

I think it looks just fine. As for economy let's see what these baby diesels will do.

Milky > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 17:20

Hopefully they are more impressive then the V6!

BJL > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 17:20

why no standard trans?

mcseanerson > BJL
09/03/2014 at 17:21

4 cylinder extended cab only.

vlachenofaranias > mcseanerson
09/03/2014 at 17:47

After digging through the configurator then discussing it with their chat help, I am sorely disappointed to learn that you cannot get a 4wd with the 6-speed stick. That absolutely seals the deal with me... I was prepping to get a Z71 4WD kitted out as my 1st ever new vehicle purchase... so long as I could avoid the slushbox.

Surry, I closed it before I could get back to you!

I gotta say that green is my favorite color so far.

Annoyed I can't build a Canyon, I like the look a lot better.

Still saddened by the MPG

mcseanerson > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner
09/04/2014 at 10:10

Really? For a V6 this is class leading. 26 mpg on highway is not bad for a 300 hp truck.

David E. Davis > mcseanerson
09/04/2014 at 10:14

I had green on my old F150. Kinda Nostalgic.

Octavian > mcseanerson
09/04/2014 at 10:19

$38,000 for a loaded Z71...

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > mcseanerson
09/04/2014 at 10:24

Yeah I'm thrilled with the power don't get me wrong.

But the Sierra is getting 24 with an even bigger engine - the 4.3L (which is what I wanted them to put in the Colorado/Canyon).

And to me it's only 24 because if I buy one of these in the future it's a 4x4, no question asked. I was just hoping for 26/27 out of the 4x4.

mcseanerson > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner
09/04/2014 at 10:25

If I get a bigger motor I want nothing less than the 5.3

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > mcseanerson
09/04/2014 at 10:31

Yeah I understand wanting a 5.3L in it. Man, Colorado SS anyone?!?!?!

My problem is I want it to replace my 07 Mercury Milan V6 in a few years 2.5 left on the loan and it might be nice to take the extra 6 months off of car loans. The Milan is rated to 27 hwy out of its 3.0 V6. It's a great little car and it's saved me my whole car payment (every month) in gas/maintenance vs my 04 Chevy Blazer 4 dr 4x4 I traded in for it. But I have a long commute and I was really hoping to match or beat it in mpg when I trade it in.

It's asking a LOT from a small pickup to deliver, but man do I miss my 4x4. The Milan does fine, and i made it through the worst winter in Detroit history last year without even snow tires (all seasons!) so it's functional, just not anywhere near as fun.

mcseanerson > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner
09/04/2014 at 10:33

Well I'm pretty sure epa fuel economy figures were refined to be tougher since then so on those figures it's probably closer to your milan's mileage.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > mcseanerson
09/04/2014 at 10:44

yea but Ive actually locked the Milan in with cruise control at 31 mpg lol. Ford USED to give under estimated numbers (instead of the over estimating lately).

I'll have to see how the budget works out in a few years when I can get one. I'll have to keep in mind I'm getting a hell of a lot more capability while only sacrificing a few mpgs. I mean they are supposed to be able to max tow like 6-7k pounds right?
