Or what was the name of that modified RAM?

And the Toyotas, tacocoma and tundra, have both fallen off in reviews (which we all know according to David are Magazines paid off by the government).

Funny none of the colorados I´ve seen have that front bumper? Most have a bumper that are so low they wuold scrape on an average tope. They are much better looking with that bumper.

The vehicle (as you want it) is currently available in the Mexican dealers.

What I want is a midsize truck, extended 2 door cab with at least a six foot bed. I would want it basic, ranch tough or military grade with few bells and whistles.

Unfortunately, the diesel will only be offered in the asphalt cowboy, full dress version! Short sighted if you ask me.

Without even getting into best this, best that..The Tacoma has always been a cheap boring vehicle...AND with the bazillions of recalls that Toyota has had...WHY? would anyone buy any one of their products? The Prius being an exception because Colorado law sez you must buy one or move to Wisconsin...

All vehicles are boring. If you want excitement, get out of your car and ride a bike, go for a hike, sail a boat, wrestle an alligator, do meth, or play mumblety peg.

This thread made me look, even tho I am not a GM fan.
Chevy Colorado ZR2 available soon
4cyl diesel 6 spd auto or V6 with 8 spd auto
4x4 with driver controlled lockers front and rear
extended cab only
Off road suspension
And it has a reliability forecast that is much better than the new Tacoma, but I bet that still is not great???

Now I wonder if Nissan and Ford will try to keep up??

Buy American. All cars have improved dramatically and I don't believe it is accurate to make blanket statements that US cars and trucks are crap. Yes, I know many car parts are sourced outside the US. But still...buy American. Waving the flag and driving the KIA just does not look right. And last I saw it is not US vessels that are killing the Cortez fisheries. So you can send a message also.

2000 Explorer, 4.0 SOHC V-6 4WD just turned 295,000 miles. Engine never touched except for intake manifold gasket and thermostat housing replaced. Burns no oil and no leaks. Starter, alternator, water pump, power steering pump, ac compressor all original. Tranny replaced at 10,000 miles under warranty but no further problem. We're gonna drive it till it dies.

I have a 2004 Tacoma with 438,000 miles and does not use oil between 5,000 mile changes and never had any problems of any kind. Great off-road too. It pulls chevys, Dodge, Ford, and Land rovers out of any difficulty.

Regardless of how capable each might be it's nice to see the manufacturers targeting the offroad community with the ZR2, Raptor, Toyota Pro's, Ram Power Wagon and Nissan Pro-4x. But I think the Raptor will be the bar with which all others a measured for sometime. Just my 2 cents.
