You have a family of giants or are they all legs and no torso? I'm 6'3" and I can't quite comfortably reach the pedals with the seat all the way back in my '21 Colorado.I watched a couple of videos about the new Colorado. Honestly, I like the engine strategy. I haven't heard a lot negative about the 2.7 in the Silverado and Cadillacs it is used in. Looks good. If I was into hard-core off-roading (as hard core as a stock truck can do, anyway), it would be worth a look. I think the 2.7 will probably be much more durable than the 3.6.
I took a serious look at the present gen Colorado with the diesel, but I just have to many long legged family members.
