It’s about the truck not the state of course. I went to the MN State Fair and I decided to check out the Chevy display. To my surprise they had a final prototype of the Colorado diesel on display so I talked to a sales rep for details. It will be out as a 2016 1/2. The pricing would be roughly $3500 more for the diesel option. Unless the fools that come up with GM’s options fuck this up (very likely) it’s conceivable that you could get one for sub $30k or at least sub $35k. If I could get one on a cheap trim Ext. cab and RWD of course (the way I’d want it btw). Other info I gleaned off the rep was that they are running the factory at full tilt and in this area at least they are barely able to keep them on the lot. Anyway that's all I got, I didn't ask specs since it will likely be about the same as what the Holden has.

No, I just know what I'm doing. It's what I have now.

Fair enough. It’s just rare to see. And sometimes difficult to get moving on ice, uphill.

That doesn’t faze it too much. It’ll spin but it’s best to keep on the gas because of the locking diff. My truck is amazingly stable. There is very little drama driving it in poor conditions and that’s just with all seasons. My first car though, that was fun. It was an S10 RWD with an open diff. That was fun flicking that little truck around corners.

Locking diff helps a lot. I grew up and spent more than 2/3’s of my life in Minnesota, I used to live flicking cars around corners. Used to take my dad’s K5 for late night drives after snow storms before the plows came out and would just gun it and drift all over my little 800 person town. I miss being able to do that, and just driving in snow in general. I envy you this coming winter :)

Unfortunately they are predicting a mild and dry winter I believe. El Niño I believe.
