It'll probably be another Isuzu diesel, the Duramax is a GM/Isuzu engine. I would bite for a diesel Colorao, but the price of small trucks has been ridiculous. It's only a few thousand more for a full size truck and the real world mileage is very close. And many modern diesels (from all manufacturers) have expensive maintenance habits due to the overload of emissions requirements on them. Hopefully a little engine would be better, as they aren't trying to claim an ability to tug 30k lbs around.
