If M30 is still 4l60 then I assume it is the same 4 speed . The T56 is a nice idea, but I hate to think of the nightmare in a 4X4 truck. My Firebird ate 5 transmissions under warranty. Then there is the good/bad clutch thing. If they can get it right the T56 in a 4X4 would own all on the street. But I doubt they re-engineer the chassis for one option that not many people will order.
Bring on the 6 speed auto .

Its about damn time. Offer it with a 4x4 and manual trans and I'm suddenly VERY interested in a Colorado. Would be even better if they'd do a heavy duty type 4x4 setup similar to the old ZR2 - that would be the **** for me.

Go to www.gmc.com and build one, THE 5.3 V8 IS A NO COST OPTION!!! Extra cab and Crew Cab only. And it can be installed in the base trim 4X4! 2WD requires SLE 3SA trim or above.

I didn't even see the Z71 option. Must require a higher trim level than I used.

One thing has me suspicious, though. Notice how on the 3SA engine option choices, the I-5 is a $1000 option and the V8 is $0. That smells to me like they just haven't determined the option pricing for the 5.3 yet. Otherwise, why the hell would anybody pay $1000 extra to get the 3.7 vs the 5.3?

I live in Michigan and I have always gone 2WD, even on pickups. Less stuff to break. Usually I put 200 lbs of landscaping rocks up against the tailgate and I never have a problem, even in heavy snow. Plus, I think they all have to have stabilitrac pretty soon which helps a lot too.

Guys, i wouldn't hold my breath on the 2wd or manual. I never seen any testing run with a 2wd or the manual trans. The 2wd can't work right now due to packaging of emissions equipment.
From what i know it is going to have larger wheels and tires... P265/70R17
So it would indicate that marketing will be pushing something like the Z71 package for this.
Rumor has it that there may be some changes in the engine line up for the colorado/canyon later on....but not confirmed as of yet.

I didn't go back through the thread. Was it ever mentioned what rear would be in it? 7 5/8" or 8.5" 10 bolt?
I have no idea what's in them now but, would imagine it's the former of those two.

Hell, IMO one of the most badass setups I can think of is an HD2500/3500 Duramax Z71 with a 6-spd manual
