I read an article on Jalopnik that suggested that due to its lower than anticipated mileage it wouldn’t last in the Silverado, but could excel in the Colorado with less weight and size...

Given how badly they missed the mark I wonder if they couldn’t have done a BAS hybrid system on the 4.3 and kept it as base engine... it already got better mileage than the four cylinder does now...

Of course the four cyl is only available at the LT trim level, maybe it isn’t available without 4WD?
