Car magazines talk bad about the Tacoma about the leg room. They say the Colorado is the best midsize truck in tests. Even better than the new ranger


Welp. Back to the drawing board.

I would have said F150, but all the issues they are having now would cause me to pause. Not buying the first year of any domestic, so get a Toyota or Nissan I guess.

The new silverados get alot of hate because of their new look but i like them. I have a newer sierra which i really like. The f150s are just meh to me.

How? I just got a new 3.5L eco and mostly drive on the highway. Getting around 19.5 mpg (according to the computer which I've read isn't very accurate).



I have the same truck, I get close to 22 mpg on the highway. No way he gets 29

All the reviews on the Silverado mention awful ride and cheap, plastic interiors with outdated technology. No thanks, I live in my truck. Comfort is #1. The new Ram has more tech and interior comfort than a new Mercedes, but it’s hard to give up Ford loyalty.

If you aren’t concerned with appearance, resale value, or longevity, the Colorado is a good choice.

Try the Colorado or Canyon.

Great mid sized trucks.

I have an '18 F150, and have rented both a '19 Dodge and Silverado for two weeks. The Dodge is the clear winner IMHO. Only knock against it is that the back seat isn't as big

I have a 2.7 eco and get maybe 24-25 Hwy and above 65-70 mph that drops a few mpg.

Why ask? Do you own research. First question would be is Who sells the most vehicles? Answer is Ford for 42 straight years. Play the odds man.

Which still isn't bad. My first truck was a 1980 Sierra with a 350. It got like 9 mpg. When you floored it you could watch the gas needle move a little

With all of the "advancements" Ford has done, I thought it would get a little better than that. My 04 2500hd has truck gets 13mpg going 85. It weighs 3000lbs more, has less power, higher gearing, and has mud tires

When considering the Taco, I rode in the back seat of one. Plenty of room. I’m 5’11”. Ride convinced me. Check them out. Cost nothing to do that.
