If the truck is closer to 5000lbs versus 4000lbs, the small 3.6L V6 is not enough.
If its too small and overworked, then what about the base 4 cylinder in the Colorado & Canyon? Afterall, if the 3.6 is too small & fuel economy suffers because of it ... it should be even more true for the 2.5L. And yet, the 2.5 manages to deliver better fuel economy than the V6. Not by much, but it is better. And thats with a 6 speed not the 8 that the V6 gets.
