gmc canyon vs Toyota Tacoma

[Happy Gilmore]

I had not seen ads on the diesel canyon. That is very interesting. I like the I 4 plan. Is it an Izusu like the duramax heavy duty? If its an izusu I would be more inclined to lean that direction

Does anybody have or know someone who has a diesel Canyon/Colorado? I finally saw one at the convience store the other day but wasnt able to talk to the owner to see what he thought.

Just drove a duramax Colorado when I picked up my ford in Issaquah. It's definitely a four banger diesel. Pulls pretty nice up hills. Enough to pass fine. Definitely not a hot rod but, upper 20's mpg is attractive.

Off road the Tacoma eats up the Colorado and Canyons. Aproach angle is important in the elk woods!

I dunno, the new empty space nose cone on the Taco could be fitted on the front of a B-52 and not look all that out of place. Or, you could use the space between the radiator and grill to pack out your deer??

In stock trim with that air deflector yes, but easily remedied.

my good buddy has one. Has almost 10k on it now. Not one single issue. His around town mpg is mid to high 20s and his freeway mileage is low 30s. Truck is leveled on 32s, 4x4, dcsb z71.
He said once the truck hit 8k miles, his mileage went up and he said it felt like it got more power.

I've put 300k on a 06 and an 07 Taco TRD. They were my company rigs. I'd have to spend a lot more time in a diesel Canyon to make an opinion. I drove my buddies 16' Taco to the airport in so cal twice. I know I do not like the new motor at all compared to the miles I racked up on the older Tacos. Enough that I think I would lean to the diesel Canyon. With that being said, for the price of the diesel Canyon, I probably wouldn't buy one. Sticker was $46k. Tacos are $10k less. That's a lot of gas money.

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

I think you could add ARBs or E locker. Stock the Tacoma TRD comes with rear E locker but not a front locker.

I don't care what chevy does. Their rigs will never last as long as the Toyota's continually do. Additionally, you will lose 20% the moment you drive the chevy off the lot.

Toyota wins.

Wow would love to have a diesel Tacoma.  That would be a perfect hunting machine.

You must mean AFTER you replace the rear springs that Toyota just can't quite seem to spec and supply....and that's if the frame isn't too rotten to bolt them ob

I'd rather replace leaf springs than some of the other things a truck might need done. If I lived in a place with road salt then the frame rust might make my radar.
