The best thing about the Colorado is the mini dmax motor. Offroad it is not in the same league as the Tacoma.

When I heard that Chevy was going to offer a turbo diesel option for the Colorado, I checked into it.

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.

I've driven Tacomas for years on harsh roads and know what they will take; they are reliable. The deal-killer for the Colorado for me is that it's a Chevy - will not consider purchasing.

At the car show, I compared the new Colorado and GMC look-alike to the Tacoma (in the next booth)... First off, look how hard GM tried to copy the Tacoma look with the cab... but then seeing how thin and plastic everything on the Chevy was compared to the solid feel of the new Tacoma... no comparison.

The GM product will not last or hold its value the way a Toyota will.

Nothing is perfect, and even Toyotas have problems... just not many compared to Chevy or many other brands. You will never see a drop of oil on the ground or burn oil between changes with a Toyota motor. At least that was my experience with my 2001, 2005 and now 2010 Tacoma. My wife had a 2008 and now a 2015 Corolla, and the same quality and value retained.

I just listed all the issues I have had as my Tacoma just had its 7th birthday with 92,000 miles (only) on it. Here is that post on Tacoma World forums: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/my-2010-dc-4x4-off-road-...

Bajatrailslug,
The chevy off-road Tacoma-killing machine comes in diesel. Your precious Tacoma does not!

Have you ever been to Tacoma? The goat has history there. The goat tells you Tacoma ain't an exciting thing to name a car after. Back in the days it smelled like a pulp mill because that was the biggest smokestack in town (well, maybe asarco smelter had a taller stack?)
When you say "Tacoma" First thing that comes to mind is the the smell of the pulp mill, and the sound of heavy metal head banging music in the Tacoma dome.
But the pulp mill closed down a while ago. And the jobs went to china, eh?
I hear trump will stamp his feet, twit some threats, wink at Putin and grab a pussy, and the bobs your uncle, the jobs will come back to Tacoma, or so they tell me.
:P
Lux sit!

A not-so-subtle attempt at pushing buttons.

Take away: Tacoma trucks smell like wood pulp, and sounds like heavy metal head banging music. Right?

Please keep in mind both the Tacoma (Washington) and the Colorado are both named from legalized Marijuana states.

More reason to be above this debate and drive a Jeep.

Bajatrailslug,
You have thin skin. Age and sun will damage your skin. Suggest you keep out of the sun, wear long sleeves and sunscreen when you venture outside.

What is smart about driving a truck?

I see many of my neighbors drive trucks, but they don't use them as trucks. They are just overly large commuters/grocery-getters. What is smart about that?

P.s. I drive a 4Runner and a minivan and several mountain bikes. Is that smart enough for you?




Woke!
