    Idk...I heard the 2015 Tacoma TRD Off Road has hover technology...makes it virtually unstoppable over even the hardest obstacles. Bad news is they're throwing the 3cyl engine from the geo metro in it...

    There's not enough bandwidth for what's happening.
    I haven't heard about this yet. Toyota must be soiling their pants!!! Please tell me more!



    Seriously, I think that users should be banned automatically if they type "chevy colorado" in any further posts. Also, their computer / phone should blow up in their face.

    Why would Toyota change anything, when people buy them just the way they are?

    What good will a 302 HP engine do in a truck that is too light to haul any thing more that the Taco can all ready? Think people complain about the Taco's gas mileage now wait till they have to feed 302 HP.

    The motor in the Colorado is probably using 10 year newer technology. It will probably have better gas mileage.

    Direct Injection and Cyl Deactivation. So it's a lot more advanced than the old Toyota 4.0. I'd expect a lot better MPG.

    I'm gonna say the same thing that I said in every other "2015 Colorado vs tacoma" thread... I hate all of cheby's new trucks. Call me crazy, but I think they are ugly a as a mule's asshole.

    I agree with the towing aspect of what your saying, but my dad's F150 has the base 3.7 V6 & he gets close to the same mpg as what I get with Tacoma's current V6 & his truck is a lot heavier. I don't think mpg would be all that bad myself with a engine similar in our trucks. Sorry, back to the REPOST bashing, hahaha.

    I know a redneck that might disagree with you on that point. If that's the case I expect to see him driving around in one soon :p
