gmc canyon vs Toyota Tacoma

[Alchase]

The ridge line isn't a pickup, it's a chickup

So what does that make the Tacoma?

[2labs]

Tow vehicle?

[Alchase]

LOL, the "only" category that the Tacoma beat the Ridgeline, Yet lost to the Colorado and the Canyon.

Tacoma will have a higher resale. Other differences are negligible IMO.

Only 18mpg isn't worth buying a mini truck

1 ton 7.3 gets 20?

I've wondered how good the new tacoma engines are. My 2003 has 394K and has never stranded me. Power window broke which wasn't cheap to fix..

I would buy a 3.4 liter 2003 over any of the new trucks. Would love if they just made that truck again. I really like my 2007 4.0 though so far it's been great 140k

2002 Tacoma here with 32" tires. TRD package and 4wd can get you about anywhere. I've made quite a few trails with my truck on old roads that were overgrown, I couldn't  have done with a different truck. But towing its not the best option but can pull my 17' arima like it's nothing.

The ridge line has zero clearance, where I work we had 2 and you can bottom them out way to easy. Also they have a chip or at least used to where if they are on a steep grade they go into safe mode. They traded these in as quickly as they could and got Ram 2500's which is a world of a different truck.

Buddy had a canyon in 2010 he had it for 6 months and then went bigger. It couldn't tow like he wanted and never would have been his ideal truck like he thought. Tried to trade it to me across for my truck and I wouldn't do it.

If I were to get a new truck which will happen maybe when I hit 300k on my Tacoma so 5-7 more years at my rate I would probably go with a Ram 1500 with aeco diesel. If the new tacomas were still small they might be appealing but they lost all appeal now that they are huge.

Loved my 2011 Tacoma but traded her in on a 2015 Silverado Z71. Got tired of the wimpy performance and terrible gas mileage when I towed anything. The tacos and mid other mid size trucks are great for many reasons, just don't tow much...

[Happy Gilmore]

Toyotas are well proven long lasting rigs. For this, resale is good. Look at all history of 4x4, v-6 powered resale at ten years old.

You cannot argue 90% of ten year old toyotas(or 20 year old) are far better off than comparable s-10's or ford rangers.

Which would you chose? A 1985 Toyota, Ford Ranger or Chevy S-10? Which is most desirable and worth the most money? Go!

Which is why GM put a little duramax in the Colorado/canyon now.

I hear the Canyon has electrical issues. Taco has transmission issues. Engine in the bottom end is a joke, but rev it up and it has good power. Lots to read on Tacomaworld 3rd gen section.

[thinkingman]

Which of the midsize pus have rotten frames and failed rear suspensions which they refused the cover?

[thinkingman]

I would take a long bed Z71 Duramax over a Tacoma 10x out of 10.
The only advantage for the Toy is fanboy resale.

Why not just get a full size if your buying a long bed midsize 

Parking/size.
Price.
Small diesel economy.
