Also, the backseat in the Canyon is much roomier than the tacoma. You can actually fit adults in the back

No thoughts on it. Sorry!

But have yourself a great day, nonetheless!

Why pay full full size price and get full size gas mileage in a mid size truck?

Just buy a full size and be done with it.


Believe it or not, some people actually like having the utility of a truck without going overboard for their needs. Crazy concept for the OT I'm sure.

Great truck. Easily the best in class right now.

I believe the Honda Ridgeline is actually the best in class. It is terrible looking though.

I drove the Colorado and Canyon. They were nice. I went Tacoma because of its higher stance, and the price/resale. If I loaded out a Canyon identical to my Tacoma, it would be nearly $5k more.

Nice Christmas present. Canyon is the best mid sized truck.

Looking the diesel canyon right now. Said I'd never spend that much on a mid sized truck, but the idea is growing on me. 7500 lb towing is all I need. 30 mpg is quite nice. And the interior is pretty comfy. For 36k, you can have leather and decent features. Full sized truck is going to cost you 45k for similar features and get 16 mpg. I have no need for the full truck, so why spend the extra.

All my other options are cars (in the same price range) at the moment, so this is taking the lead. I drive too much to be in a low mileage vehicle when I don't need to be.

At 40 something they better be able to afford their own.

If this kid us under the age of 25, wouldn't buy a new anything. If he's over 25, he can buy it himself.

Tacoma tows 7,000 and you can get loaded out minus leather (buy katskins for $500 aftermarket) for nearly 31k. I'm averaging about 21.

Doesn't Tacoma have a fee for how popular it is? Not only that but is there honestly such a thing as a loaded out Tacoma? They need to catch up in that department

That one looks horrid, but the non-douchey options look better than a Tacoma to me. I know that's an opinions, but that's my opinion.

To each his own is correct because I've gotten many compliments and inquiries. But if you think it looks like a bag of a-hole then I'm sure others do too. Love my truck though

I really want one of those. Don't quite have justification to pull the trigger yet. Also want to see if Toyota changes the 4Runner next year first.

Canyon/Colorado is a great setup.

They are bringing back the ZR2 models from the late 1990s. If you are into four wheeling, these are going to be incredible.



Diesel or gasoline engines.

Video of the ZR2 models.
