No one has yet. The Colorado is smaller, has less power, less payload
capacity, a lower tow rating, no V8. In fact, it's got less payload &
tow capacity than the truck it's replacing. I haven't seen all the
numbers yet, but I'd wager it has less ground clearance and worse
approach/departure angles (not that ours are anything to brag about,
right Adam?).
A real competitor to the Dak would cut too deep into
Chevy/GMC/Ford/Nissan/Toyota's full-size sales. They don't want to
compete with themselves.
