New Chevy Colorado mega-thread

At the end of the day a Jeep is nothing more that a Dodge.

Friends don't let friends drive Dodge...

 

At least it has the diesel all the annoying fan boys have been constantly whining about for years on this forum.

 

Pretty much.

I never said they were the perfect vehicle. They're a purpose built rig for one thing. Off Roading. I didn't comment once on their longevity and dependability. It's like saying E60 AMG will blow a Corolla out of the water on the track. Of course it will. The Corolla will still be putting past the E60 after the electrical eats itself after 50,000 miles. (You'll also notice I'm still rocking my 07 Tacoma and not a brand new Jeep too. )

I will say that the ZR2 models do have a special tug on my heart, and I owned several in both Blazer and Truck form and they were all very competent off road and held up to hundreds of thousands of miles with no problem.

I'm not defending chevy and their recent recalls, but the previous iterations of the ZR2s were good trucks and I took them everywhere - I really liked the ZR2 blazer, ultra short wheelbase, and comfortable.

Again don't get me wrong, I love my tacoma... but those ZR2s were not a joke offroad. Of course now you can buy three of them for the same price as a tacoma of the same year

 

wouldn't call this an answer as much as I would call it an excuse

 

Perhaps. But a Jeep might get stuck because of mechanical failure.

 

Didn't realize there was such a huge difference between Tacoma Off Road, Tacoma Sport, & SR5...........

 

Personally, I like it. If it comes in a DCLB it might just be my next truck!

I'm also trying to figure out why all the hate? It's got King's, turbodiesel and a bunch of other stuff that's pretty cool.

The last time I checked, everyone around here blow's their load over King's and if you look at the "most wanted" thread about the nextgen Tacoma, it's a diesel.

I think Chev has put together a pretty sweet package with this one...

 

Not a bad looking truck ,not a fan of those red trimmed rims though. As red blooded Americans we should be rooting for Chevy to make a reliable mid size truck that can compete or even beat the Tacoma. When competitors build better, the entire ecosystem improves.

 

Jeep? C'mon man. That truck is meant to challenge Tacoma.

 

Here's the header of that article: "Is this the Chevy off-roader that will finally go head-to-head with Jeep?"

News flash... Jeep doesn't make a pickup truck (for many years now)!

It does look good on paper, and if it makes toyota up their game, then i'm all for it. but really, no one here is displaying their King reservoirs through their foglight cutouts.

I like it, personally.

 

Of course it is... on any day, here in SoCal driving, 90% of all small/mid trucks are Tacomas... there are so few Nissan Frontiers, Ford Rangers, Chevy S-10s (Colorados) and Mitsubishi (whatever they are called) trucks in comparison.

 

Just no, no way.

I hate to say it but the hood scope looks 10x better than the Tacoma reverse scoop to me. The factory winch option is also nice.

However, since I don't want a vehicle that will completely fall apart around 100k miles, I'll stick with my Tacoma though.
