    It's got a "full review," but doesn't contain any more information than that which has already been discussed in this forum at length.

    My favorite line (and since it comes from Edmunds it must be true) comes at the end: "Neither GM model appears to have the off-road ability of the Tacoma, however."

    Boom.

    To me a "full review" would include a road test at the very least. Anyone with a keyboard could do that article.

    I agree. I need to see road tests before I will believe anyone's review.

    Not really surprised by this as a majority of the negative comments are about the auto transmission. Seems to reflect what I read on TW. But how many of those were before TSB? Too bad no one has published a road test with the manual trans.
