I think the Canyon (GMC) version has a much better looking front end than the Colorado.

Is this for your daughter or something?

I gotta ask, why? Both of these cost damn near the same thing as a Tundra.

After being in a fullsize, you'll hate them both equally.

I like the looks of both. The Tacoma forums are complaining of a lot of issues on the '16 Taco. Assuming because they are new.

Tacoma would probably be a good $3-4,000 more expensive


What? I did this same process last summer and the Colorado was by far more expensive with the same builds. And the canyon was even higher than the Colorado.

I downgraded from full size to a taco 2 years ago. At first I loved it, but now I completely miss having the extra room.

I have a 2015 Chevy Colorado Z71 crew cab. I've put 27k miles on it. So far, no issues. At the point in time when I was purchasing (late 2014), the new Tacos weren't out yet, and I was unimpressed with the old Tacos compared to the new Colorados.

I own a Tacoma, it's 18 months old, and could trade it in for a comparable new Colorado.

Not sure what other argument need be made for Tacoma, beyond that, it is all about preference.

I like the look of the Chevy more, but the Tacoma is one of the best vehicles ever made and is reflected in resale value. That $3-4K more you would spend now would be repaid when you get your next vehicle.

Also, 4x4 usually holds value dollar for dollar. Don't worry about how often you will use it, if you ever have to use it, it will be worth it.

I been considering this same thing. From all reviews the Colorado is a better value with a better ride and in cab feature. Tacoma is better on resale which is crazy because I would never pay what they ask for a used tacoma. Tacoma owners are like Yeti owners its like a fricking cult, I don't get it.

I just don't know if I could get used to going to a smaller truck from a fullsize.

I got a '16 4x4 SR, base, DCSB Taco back in Sept. I had a Ridgleine before. The Taco has less in cab storage and no trunk.
I love the truck otherwise. I have had 2 service bulletins done. One is a software fix for the transmission. The other is for a vibration in deceleration. Some have complained about wind noise and some other stuff. There are plenty of people that have complained about the Colorado as well.
I get 22-23 mpg on my 25 mile commute to work. 23-24 on flat interstate.
I looked at the Canyon, but felt every bump of the road in the steering wheel, and interior felt cheap or just a little off. Taco does ride more like a truck.

New Truck - Colorado or Tacoma



Colorado. Or Canyon if you like the styling. They did a really good job with them.

They are finally starting to come down off the price a little on the Duramax Diesel models too.

I bought a Tacoma for $25k and sold it 9 years later for $17k. During that time the only thing I had to do outside of normal maintaince was was replace the rotors.

Diesel Colorado 4x4

Have you checked out the new Ridgeline? Pretty neat features on that thing.

A Tacoma and a Colorado, while the same class size, are not even close to the same vehicle.
