What's sort of surprising the smaller truck (Canyon/Colorado) with the smaller diesel (2.8 vs 3.0), with 100 less hp and torque, is only rated 20/30 2wd and 19/28 4wd. And they wonder why the smaller trucks keep dying off. They cost just as much, but don't do as much, or save much as just getting a full size.
And it's really difficult shoving a full sheet of plywood in those smaller beds
