I just bought a Chevy Colorado like 3 weeks ago
They are fun (colorado's), but im not the tallest dude and I felt uncomfortable at times. It was a 17 my wife wanted when I got my Silverado. We ended up trading it for a van

I’ve always been a Chevy man and I’ve owned half tons and 3/4 tons of all brands. The F-150 can’t hold a candle to the z71 but I preferred my power stroke 250 over my duramax 2500. As far as pure pulling power my 07 Cummins with the inline 6 diesel topped them all but the rest of Dodge was shite. Currently drive a 19 King Ranch 250 and I love it so I’m equal opportunity I guess but I’ll never sell my 04 z71. The 5.3L V8 GM put in those trucks were like gold and Ford still hasn’t and will never produce a half ton engine to beat it. I’ve got 140,000 miles on it and all but about 5,000 miles have been with 37” tires under it, never had one issue.

Love my Fords -
1917 Model T Runabout Roadster, (survivor, parade vehicle)
1927 Model T Touring Sedan, (Fully Restored, parade vehicle)
1929 Model A One Ton Truck (project)
1931 Model A Deluxe Coupe (Fully restored, parade vehicle)
But:
My pickups are all Rams.

I disagree with Trump here. I drive a Sierra.
See liberals? I don’t always agree with your POTUS.

How do you like it? I’ve been thinking about getting a Canyon next truck.

Never really understood the point of buying a light duty truck. If you’re going to spend the money on a truck why not at least get a 1/2 ton? The Colorado’s/Canyons and Rangers just aren’t big enough and the half tons park just as easily and get good gas mileage now. To each his own though.

I had an extended cab Colorado previously that I enjoyed having but I had to give it up b/c it was no longer financially feasible for me to have it (I had massively underestimated how much the note would be for it... it was my fault)... so I got into a Chevy Trax (which was much more financially feasible for me)
I recently took a much better paying job and as soon as I was sure I could afford it, I got back in a Colorado (full crew cab this time)
I love the Colorado... a full size pick-up like a F-150 or a Silverado is way too big for my current needs
For who I am... and my needs... a Colorado is perfect
ETA: I'm a single guy in my mid 30s... no family needs... never end up in the woods or haul all that much... though I do take a number of long road trips through work or family visits throughout the year

I drive a Sierra now and there’s nothing wrong with it, but I do find myself in tight spots when I am off-road. Something like a Canyon would do everything I need a truck to do, probably with more ease. Our boat is in a marina and I have a kayak trailer. The main thing for me is getting a truck in and out of deep woods. It’s sometimes a pain in the arse with a full size. I like the look of the Canyon with a leveling kit and that plastic piece on the front removed if I’m being honest
Something like this:

I'm still always going to be a Chevy truck owner. I've had a 2012, 2015, and still driving my 2017 Silverado
I'm still driving that '01 Silverado as my primary vehicle in 2020.
I'll always be a Chevy guy but I 100% support the moves that Ford has been making for a long time, predating the Obama Detroit bailout.
I would drive a Ford... but I'd rather push my Chevy than drive a damned Dodge

I can see the use of a Canyon if your hunting spots are tight fits plus they are light. We have a big cattle ranch so a 3/4 ton has become a necessity for me. Most of my hunting spots are pretty wide open so my z71 on 37’s is perfect for my hunting truck. If I ever need to squeeze in somewhere narrow I’ve had an old CJ7 Jeep that I learned how to drive on years and years ago. I probably only drive it once or twice a year now but other than the occasional dead battery it always fires right up.

I'm in the 5'5-5'6 range... definitely thinking of adding running boards to my new truck at some point

Those old CJ’s are awesome. Just strap the deer to the hood if need be

I had them take the ones I had on the 15 and put them on the 17 as part of the deal.
The Colorado the Mrs got had them and it was a crew cab loaded. It was a promo pace truck, so it was a killer deal.
I saw someone on the OT say the bought a Silverado, so that got me looking. Since my 15 was paid off it was only a few grand to upgrade. Was surprised the Mrs wanted the other truck and it was pretty gangsta driving out of a dealership with 2 trucks haha.
