I've got a DCLB Colorado diesel to test along side my Taco this weekend.......

Honestly if I were you I would pick a ford over the chevy...

Hey I'm realizing something by being in this thread, I don't like chevy for some reason

 

I wonder how it runs at altitude.

 

Well towing my John Deere tractor with FEL over Mac Pass was an exercise in "I won't do that shit again". I could barely get over the divide, and I spanked the shit out of it. I don't baby my truck. I didn't baby any of my trucks.

 

Better? most guys that own domestic are so brand loyalty they won't even think about the competition.

 

Better truck owners yes

They don't have unreasonable expectation like lots of Toyota truck owners

 

If you can't pull something with the Tacoma V6, don't expect the Colorado diesel to somehow perform better. It has significantly less horsepower, which is the number that actually matters.

I think it's pretty clear that you're just not used to the sound of a high-revving truck motor. Like I said, there's nothing wrong with revving the engine out to pull a load.

 

I happily admit all my Toyota's had little issues but I still keep buying them.

Love these overpriced shitboxes

 

OP Can you measure how low the Colorado's spare tire hangs? Everytime I see one It look as if it's gonna drag on a rock offroad

 

Me too !

I miss my 22re slow shit boxes

 

Yep, bench seat, 4 speed, no rear bumper and it started rusting and the paint faded the moment I drove it off the lot.

 

no lower than a tacoma as far as I know

 

Those were the days

 

Yep, the "Golden Days" when they had that weird Japanese bed with hooks on the lip.

So spartan there was nothing inside to break, just start it and go.

 

Remember the Nissan hard body?

 

I've long wanted an 05-06 tundra, but always worried about owning a 10 year old truck.

 

I wont touch a truck older than 5 years here in the salt belt

 

Yep, my exact thoughts, not worried about the mechanical stuff, but all the rot.

 

Ten year old one owner like this is one of the Best Buys

Just buy them from cali no rust


My 4.7 L 100 series LC went 280k miles before I sold it

Bulletproof

 

In all my years of living in mountains and hills... torque + hills + load = happy truck.

I had a 360V8 1500 dodge and used to tow round bales. Then I bought a 3/4 ton diesel. Both could handle the load (per spec). The V8 had more horsepower, the Cummins more torque. I had the diesel for 12 years, the gasser for 3...

 

But those didn't have 900ft-lbs of tire shredding awesomeness!
