Chevrolet Colorado vs Toyota Tacoma: Which Mid-Size Truck is Right For You?
The Toyota Tacoma is the most popular choice but is it also the better one?
While the mid-size pickup truck market might not be as hotly contested as the full-size one, that doesn’t mean it’s one manufacturers choose to ignore. In fact, one truck in particular, has captured the market like no other and it sold nearly 240,000 units last year—in the middle of the pandemic. That truck is the Toyota Tacoma, the most popular mid-sizer in North America. And it’s not like there’s any dearth of competition either. The Japanese truck faces stiff competition from the Detroit giants Ford and GM, in the form of Ford Ranger and the Chevrolet Colorado.
If a full-sizer is too large for you and you’re looking for a mid-size pickup, the Colorado and the Tacoma are bound to be on your list. But which of the two is the better choice? We compare the specs to see which one prevails.
Chevrolet Colorado vs Ford Ranger: Which Truck Is Right For You?
When it comes to American rivalries few are as longstanding as the one between the two Detroit giants, Ford and GM.
There is no segment on the entire continent that doesn’t have these two marquees fighting for control. The rivalry is especially fierce in the workhorse pickup truck segment. Be it full-sizers or heavy duties, both companies have options to rival the other. And things are no different in the mid-size pickup arena. Where Chevrolet has its tried and tested Colorado armed with three powertrains two transmission options and a hardcore off-road ZR2 trim, the newer Ford Ranger keeps it simple (for now) with a solitary powertrain and a more modern interior.
While both offer almost full-sizer levels of capability, they both have their pros and cons. But which one should you go for? We give you a complete breakdown to help you choose the right one.
