If you are the type to drive until it's wheels fall off, then the Tacoma. It's proven to last 300,000 miles.



My previous company kept a lot of Chevy Silverado, Chevy Express, and Ford Econoline chassis trucks that long.

I bought my Taco 2 years ago and test drove a Colorado. I just liked the way the Taco drove and I really don't care for the Colorado styling. The Colorado was going to cost about $4k more than the Taco too. Taco is a much better looking truck IMO.

well for one, Chevrolet's are basically made from cardboard and chewing gum.

Looking to move down to a mid-sized truck from a Tundra.


If you want a good deal, go with a Nissan Frontier.

If you want something that rides and handles like a full sized truck, your best bet is the Colorado or Canyon. Bonus would be to get the diesel and enjoy the benefits of 29 MPG highway.

I just got the 17 Tacoma. Love it.

My only beef with it is the wind blows you around on the interstate.

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.


I was really worried about all the negative talk on the tacoma forums, but I went ahead and got a 2016 model anyhow. I'm glad I did, I've had no problems with mine. I think the people on those forums are like the people on apple forums, they aren't happy unless they're unhappy.

Work truck?

I have an E150 with 250,000 miles (2006) it's solid as a top.

New Truck - Colorado or Tacoma



I'd go with the Colorado or Canyon with the turbo diesel.

Never. Look at the resale value. Tacoma holds 82% of its initial cost at 60 months.


How is this even possible

Edit- it's not possible, I just looked it up and Tacoma's on average are worth about 61% of original value after 5 years, which is #1 amongst all cars. The GMC Canyon holds its value pretty well also.
