    Reading them quickly, sounds like you're a GM Employee.

    My neighbor unloaded his Diesel Colorado when it wouldn't start in the cold weather. Sounded like the issue was fairly common and there wasn't a fix when he sold.

    It makes me a GM employee by posting unbiased sources that simply report common problems or recalls from the government on vehicles? Sounds like you are making some weird accusations in order to stick your head in the sand about your beloved truck.

    Ignore all you want. I don't care. It doesn't make me a hater to simply post sources telling the truth. If I hated the Tacoma, I wouldn't be here. And why would I hate an inanimate object? That makes no sense.

    I looked over your posts. A quick search showed about half mention GM, Colorado or Canyon in them.

    And? That's the primary competitor. On the Colorado forums I talk about the Tacoma too. Doesn't mean my paychecks come from GM lol.

    I might have to create an account in a Colorado forum and talk about Tacoma's. Sounds like a good use of my time.

    Wonder what those number look like if you back out all the work trucks sold vs just consumer purchased trucks. I'd figure that would drop those figures in ford/chevy/ram. Its not like you can buy a tacoma in a 4x4 dually.

    GMC is a more expensive truck. Little nicer interiors is the most common reason. People decide to go cheaper with the Colorado. Same truck.

    Did you see the one mentioning Toyota is one of the only manufacturers not to offer a lifetime warranty on frames? Cause that's when I gave up.

    Guys keep talking up the Colorado like God shot it out of his D*ck and created a masterpiece.... Go look in the forums. You will be surprised of the issues those trucks have. Hell you can't even get a larger tire on the zr2 without a Body Lift. Junk...

    Ford is really big on "The F Series". Even their own annual reports won't break it out by F150 & SuperDuty. I'm surprised they haven't labled the Ranger as an F100 to boost the F Series numbers if they ever actually release it in the states again.

    You call it junk and every professional who makes their careers out of judging vehicles calls it the best midsize truck on the market. Some call it the best off-road truck available today. I wonder who to trust. The pros or the chewbacca online?

    Poor form by Toyota. You're on top. Just leave things alone. By the way, I see more Tacoma's at the mall than Colorado's.

    Also poor form by people downing Ridgelines. They're not bad for what they are. I'd bet most of you could do just fine in a Ridgeline.

    Every professional? In the same thread you declare your manifest duty to correct "facts" of others. Well, that's just something.

    A slight exaggeration is a bit different than a gross misstatement. How many TFL, auto blog, edmunds, motor trend, cars.com and other videos/article reviews have chosen the Tacoma over the Colorado? Not many.

    So we are in agreement. Your "fact" was wrong.

    And nice goal post shift from "best midsize truck" to "better than tacoma".

    If this is how far you have to stretch to make your point then i'll make your day. My fact was wrong. Feel better?
