That was my other top choice. How do you think the two trucks compare?2026 Chevy Colorado Z71
I actually like the Colorado better for its ride, rear seat space and overall look. There's always cons. I had nearly 11,000 miles on it and it was already using a quart of oil between oil changes. They finally fixed the electrical gremlins, at least in mines. The transmission had begun the shutters occasionally. So, I traded the Colorado for the Tacoma for reliability.That was my other top choice. How do you think the two trucks compare?
Thanks! I have always love Chevy trucks and thought that Toyota copied their body designs, which is a good thing. I have had a couple Chevy trucks and liked them, but also moved to Toyota for their greater reliability.So, I traded the Colorado for the Tacoma for reliability.
Do the feet keep the bears away?Technically I still have this big rig. My Tacoma does not arrive until the end of the month. A 2024 Silverado 2500. Honestly if the price of diesel wasn’t so outrageous I’d probably keep her but we have decided that we are going to sell our travel trailer and the truck. We are going back to tent camping which honestly doesn’t really bother either of us. The Tacoma will cost less to run, maintain and be far nicer around town. At the end of the month a 6’ TRD Offroad + in Bronze Oxide will be in the driveway. I’m very excited to get it.
