From what I can find, the Colorado maxes out at 4K with the automatic.
A Dak QC (4.7/545RFE) maxes at 4450 with the 3.55s, 5750 with 3.92s
BUT, put a manual in the truck, and the Colorado is down to 1800 pounds,
while the Dak goes up to 4850 (3.55) and 5850 (3.92)

Nah, Dodge's ad team isn't that good unfortunately.
