    Tacoma is stock and staying that way, Pickup is TBA as of now.
    Here's a pic for all you Colorado fans. My buddy who works at the parts dept of the Chevy garage posted it on facebook saying it was the first one in town. It's a sharp looking truck but it's still a Shitty. Enjoy!

    A chevy mechanic I work with just bought a 15 Tacoma. His truck makes 5 Tacomas in the employee lot compared to zero Colorados. He and I agree that you couldn't give us a 3.6. They should have put the new 4.3 from the Silverado in this truck. That engine is has been very reliable so far.

    Maybe GM wants to carry on the legacy of the colorado having motor issues.

    As said, the 4.3 L in the 2014 Silverado is a new engine. Not the old 4.3 L. I'm sure GM decided they didn't want any crossover between the Silverado and the Colorado when it came to engines.

    Ford is bringing out a new truck. In general 'merica likes the new and shiny stuff, look to see Fords numbers rebound and then some as more "atlas" F150's hit the lots.

    The Colorado will also see it's sales increase as more hit the lot.

    Around here I have seen a massive increase in silverados.

    Some are pretty slick looking trucks but others are just too big.

    I think with the bulkiness off the canyon dcsb I saw a lb would look much better.

    Yeah, I've heard rumours that it's closer to being a truck, but not quiet there yet. I've heard of car engines, 8 speed car based transmissions, and still a unibody design. Could all just be rumours though. Weren't we talking about Chevies though?
