Well, that most assuredly is not it. The front end uses the same components from a 2500 HD pickup that runs the Dmax. Now, considering, the tranny also, the actual sheet metal and longer wheelbase, it would stand to reason that weight is not the reason. Size is the culprit right now. While it can be stuffed in there by an aftermarket company, it's just not sufficient enough for GM to give the go ahead and deal with the warranty headaches that would be associated with it.
2008 model coming out next year, will have 400hp 400lb/ft of torque (approx) and probably an updated interior. Also, stands to reason that the 2009 model won't be on the GMT900 platform if that happens. Maybe in 2009 the 2010 model will be re-done and based on the GMT900.
