I did price one out with the v6 and the TRD package and 4x4 and it came out to around 32k so im sure the Colorado will match or be more than the Tacoma since the Tacoma has been out and not redesigned in a long time. As for the premium the diesel version im gonna guess about 2 to 3k dollars for it. Also I didn't see how much its going to weight so that will matter how good the MPGS are too.

You haven't looked at the LFX torque curve, have you?

I wish they didn't use the squished torque scale on these, but its pretty clear that, aside from a slight dip at 2k, the LFX makes plenty of torque down low & through the midrange. The 'curve' is nearly flat from ~2500 through 6500, and is above what looks like 260 ft-lbs that whole time. And they are going to be tweaking it to make a bit more.
