So all the reviews are wrong? Not being a smart arse but in almost all comparisons, the reviews choose the Colorado.

I could consider a full size but what full size can I get with decent options for under $40,000?

You can subtract at least $8k from the sticker price on most full sized trucks. If you can snag a 2017 while they are still on the lots probably 10-12k

You can get a real nice used full sized truck with low mileage for under 40k

Courtesy in Breaux Bridge had 14k off of ‘17 XLT F-150s. I’d look that way.

Just bought a full size V8 crew cab 4x4 decently loaded truck for $38k. With the rebates on new trucks right now, I have no idea why you'd buy a used one. They're the same price.

The OT drives platinum and king ranch F150s with trucknutz, they wouldn’t waste their time researching any midsize truck.

How's about a new Sierra SLT 2wd for around $38-$39k?

Brought home a 2017 F150 XLT FX4 with the 3.5L turbo V6 loaded minus leather for significantly less than 40k.

I drive a 17 Taco but I think YOU should drive a Colorado based on asking other people to make your decision for you. Worm.

Most of the reviews are probably about initial quality, not long-term reliability.

I don't know anything about trucks, but my Toyota Camry was built to last.

Chevy is paying out the arse for all the "awards" that douche bag in their commercials never shuts up about.

And at the downvoters that don't realize that's how magazine reviews work.

I commend you for trying to think different than the heard and being willing to go against the grain but obviously you don't know crap about trucks so please don't think you are being smarter than everyone else. Long story short, its a terrible idea. Horrible resale, you think you are saving money but you will lose on back end. You will regret it.

The early Colorados were really shitty trucks. They may well have improved the quality if the newer models are getting great reviews but its tough to shed that bad rep. And Toyota's great rep is well-earned.

You can walk into any Ford dealership and get an XLT for around $34k without even trying to bargain hard. They’ll knock off $8-10k right away.
