Yes, the Colorado will get a diesel for the next model year. I didn't intend to re-launch the seemingly endless diesel discussion, just to add one currently available alternative which should be reasonably comparable to the trucks already being considered.
In the current Colorado, the appropriate variant would presumably be one with the 3.6 L V6. That puts out 305 hp, which is more than any pickup had for decades of trailer towing until a few years ago; I don't know why two more cylinders would be required to tow an Escape 17'.
