Tacoma wins 4Wheel & Offroad's 4X4 of the year

you say towing isnt standardized, but you want to say gov't mpg is?!?!?!??!?!?!

Anyway, there is a TON of proof that the twins get much better MPG. But that doesnt really matter. The point is, Tacoma wins is some areas, the twins win in other areas. Not one truck is a perfect fit for everyone.

 

Being objective in an assessment and giving credit where it's due, while being open minded to what is considered best for me.....and I'm what's wrong with America? hahaha

Pot....meet kettle! My IQ drops every time I read one of your posts

 

Toyota didn't have much competition. The Colorado/Canyon have the approach angle of a minivan.

 

Do some research. Bush spearheaded the bailout. Also, keep politics out of this forum.

LOL this flag-waving good'ol boy is lecturing us about being real 'Mericans yet drives a Toyota. lol. This is hillarious.

 

Also TW is for Canadians too, ya dingus.

 

Stop being a twat.

If you can't handle the concept of other trucks being discussed by adults in a truck forum then put the keyboard down and go outside.

 

Whats Canada?

 

America's Hat.

 

Yes, the gov't uses the same standard when testing the vehicles's mpg, the tow rating is purely the manufacturer's number. As far as I know, Ram and some Ford models are the only ones that use the J2807 towing standard so you can get an apples to apples comparison.

I agree that the trucks have their own pros and cons, and a lot of it just boils down to individual preferences. I see the Tacoma winning out in the most important areas for me.

 

Two guys just left in a new Colorado while I was waiting in my truck in a parking lot. They were both staring at the truck and even paused as they backed out of their space to take another look. I was backed in, just saying

 

Toyota was the first to adopt the J2087 standard and the only one to do so for a few years.

 

Good for them, hopefully the Frontier and Colorado/Canyon start using it too so all mid trucks are graded on the same rubric.

 

False, standards came out in 2013. Toyota was the 1st, everyone BUT Ford joined VERY quickly.and now all truck makers use it.

They all are.... He was incorrect.

That is incomplete. Doing a quick search does show ALL Toyotas follow the standard. The others do on various models, but not all models. Although they might, I haven't seen anything to show whether the Colorado/Canyon specifically follow it.

 

Ford took money, as well. They all did

 

You're right....they should probably ban anyone on this forum from mentioning any vehicle other than a toyota. If you're so American, why are you against free speech? Sound like a commie

And to clarify, I agreed that if you want a 4x4 truck for offroading, pick a tacoma. Guess your reading comprehension is off as well.

 

No sir you are WRONG! Manufacturers buying out magazines for fixed results only happens 100% of the time when its not a Tacoma......
