Ok

Ford ranger crew cab turbo charged 4

Chevy Colorado crew cab v-6

Nissan Frontier crew cab (redesigned) v-6

I gotta get a truck and I need opinions.

Toyota Tacoma is off the table. They're too expensive and I'm OT poor.

I'm a ford guy, BUT ive been stuck with a frontier as a rental vehicle, i wasn't a fan. Neighbor has a colorado and strongly dislikes it, i drove it and wasn't impressed. Honestly saving up/holding out for a tacoma is the only move here.

I recognize all of those CAN tow 6k lbs but it’s gonna suck. You’ll be pushed all around the road towing that much weight with those trucks.

Of that list I like the new frontier the most.

Colorado is a solid truck but aged design, that needs to be updated.

Ranger is an global platform more catered to transport bananas on Costa Rica back roads.

Tacoma is ancient and overpriced.

Just don't buy a Honda Ridgeline!

If you only need a small truck, there's only one answer and it's the Tacoma.

I had to get a full size but I agree with you that they're huge.

Do you need a truck, or just a midsize for minimum hauling? If minimal, get a Santa Cruz, Ridgeline or Maverick.

Just went through this exercise and wound up with a Tacoma.

The Nissan wasn’t out yet, but it wouldn’t have been an option because it’s year one on a redesign.

The Colorado… I really didn’t like it.

The Ranger… better interior than the Tacoma. The turbo 4 felt great but I was leery of future issues. But the one thing that just threw me to a solid no was how bumpy it was. It would bounce at the slightest provocation.

The Tacoma has an odd transmission, gets worse mileage, and it is a shade more expensive (not by much bs a Ranger). But I know it will do what it needs to and it will last a good long time.

Put the Tacoma back in the options. It’s not that much more.

Screw those options, get the Ram TRX. I love driving around town getting 10 mpg.
