1990 was the best truck I had, now I have a 2001 Tacoma, I love it even more than the 1990. Sold the 1990 to my son, and then he did this to it!! RIP Little Red 😢

judging by the mud, Id bet it wasn't a surprise. I stuffed my 85 once and tweaked the frame. At the time, I was working on and off during school breaks at Calahan's Auto Body in Seattle so I got it on the frame rack for no charge.

I get so many complements on my Colorado it's starting to become annoying.  Might sell it and get an ugly yota so folks will quit interrupting my day.

Sorry if I missed it but what year is your Colorado and have oh had any issues with it other than routine maintenance?

I LOVE the newer colorados but idk about their reliability

Don't worry give it time and your Colorado will be a road side ornament for everyone to comment on. :chuckle:

The new ZR2 seems like a pretty capable off road rig. Is the Tacoma available with front and rear locking differentials?

 :yeah:
The yoters have always made the best small pickups imo. But the new Canyon/Colorado with a 2.8l I4 duramax is awsome. Somebody tested one at 30mpg. With 369ft lbs of torque @ 2000rpm its quite a contender.

The ones at the Dealer where I drove one with the Duramax had absolutely no underbody protection. I was shocked how exposed the underbody was unless they had taken off all the skid plates so you could see all the underside on the display rack.

Keyword, potential. Anything mechanical has the POTENTIAL to fail. I say good on them for being proactive in fixing it before it becomes an issue. I was somewhat kidding about the "bugs worked out" comment anyway.

Honestly I'd love to see one or all of the big 3 begin to hold a reliability record across the board like Toyota has had.

I know it was kinda in jest.  I just thought it was funny i saw the article maybe 2 minutes after reading your comment  ;)
