The last-Gen Colorado-Canyon DID offer an alloy 5.3 V8 in certain models only...and the take-rate, as I recall, was very low.

No more Dakota, either, which DID sell in decent numbers with V8s, but it was a bigger, heavier truck.

Would an LT1-engined new-Gen Colorado have a market? Perhaps. But...since GM never built a Regular Cab Short Box 6.0 or 6.2 Silverado 1500 (and all the parts for such a truck, save HD driveshaft, exist(ed)), I don't see the engineering dollars being spent on a Colorado, so equipped. And, as mentioned, the Cheyenne concept therefore is a long shot, as well...
