‘24 Tacoma Pro vs Chevy Colorado Bison

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a44038461/2024-chevy-colorado-zr2-bison-revealed/


Similar styling to the Tacoma Pro, think Chevy did it better.

Looks like they did the photo shoot at Cinders, outside of Flagstaff.








Apparently the 35 won’t fit between the frame rails.

 

The all black is just on the Trail Boss unless the Bison decides to adopt that front end. Although the Bison will have a MSRP $5,000-10,000 higher me thinks.

 

Lol!

 

Guessing black, makes more sense, looks meaner and more practical for off-road. Even for street use, they chip seal the roads here, front end is constantly being peppered with gravel.

 

The Bison is still an AEV collab?

They really marked them up in the past.

I’ve seen one previous gen here in California with a $25,000 markup.

 

I believe so, those look like AEV wheels. Find out on May 31st.

 

Chevy already has a leg up since its offering front and rear lockers.

 

The ZR2 Bison will probably be more offroad oriented than the Pro same as the last gen of both. I haven't heard anything offical about a Canyonn AT4x which would probably be pretty nice. Bison would probably be a step above AT4x.

Trail Hunter is a little more the pace of the Bison, but the Bison will still probably offer more off road prowess than the TH.

I think the choice will come down to GM vs Toyota, and which brand the customer prefers.

Last gen extended cab bison was a good package. If I'm spending Bison and Pro money on a midsize. I'd be buying the HD ZR2 Bison, or a 1/2 ton Raptor.

 

I’d open my checkbook for that spotted cow frappe paint scheme in a heartbeat.

 

Toss in the Ranger Raptor as the price is identical to the AT4X, just more HP. Limited supply will jack prices up if you didn't already get in with a local dealer.

 

GM trucks are still not very reliable. They're better than they used to be, but I sure wouldn't buy one.

 

Regardless of the options, its still a GM. Cheap quality, would never buy one.

 

Both the new Colorado and the Ranger look immediately outdated compared to the 4th gen Tacoma. IMO.

 

While I like the 4G, has a bit too much going on with it.

It is all personal preference, like the GM first, Ranger second and Tacoma third. Not interested in the GM, be tough call on which on to buy Ranger vs Tacoma. Almost went Ford this last go around, almost…

The overseas Ranger with incandescent lights rather than LEDs, is slightly reminiscent of the 80s F-Series, the trucks I grew up with, so I kinda like it.

Unfortunate we don’t get the RC and Extra Cab.

 

You know what Chevy did for more travel? Lengthen control arms.

toyota? Nothing. They changed wheel offset to pretend they did.

Chevy brings diesel. Toyota doesn’t.

 

Thought they killed the diesel for the Colorado? Or are they keeping it for the Bison.

 

It’s killed only rumors of it coming back.

 

Its gone, they are now just 4 banger turbo's.
