Said they heard the sound of a diesel engine in it. I don't think that would force GM to do anything, although if its the 3.2 as they stated it will be more powerful than the diesel in the GM twins.
But if Ford drops the 2.7 V6 turbo in there, the twins don't currently have an engine to compete with that combination of HP/TQ. So that means 5.3 V8, or the LF3/LF4 (likely LF3) to the rescue. But I'm not convinced GM will put a bigger more powerful engine in these twins unless they do a real sport version.
As for daily driving, the 3.6 in my Colorado is more than adequate. It runs good, pulls hard, and maintains low rpms even on many of the slight inclines I encounter on my daily drive. Kick it down and she goes!
Said it before...say it again...a turbo V6 or V8 in these trucks would be amaze-balls.
