    Can't say that there was anything in that video that makes me want a Colorado/Canyon. Available V8? Tacoma has available supercharger (I admit, the 5.3 is a heck of an engine though). Aftermarket support? Tacoma hands down. Sleek styling? If that is sleek, I will keep my "dull and boring" Tacoma. Not saying that Colorados/Canyons are junk, just that they are not as good as my Taco.

    Well from watching that video sadly i must say, i guess i'll have to trade in my tacoma for a canyon its obvious through the whole video that with the addition of On-star my new truck will be invincible and with the longer "courtesy car" coverage WHEN my new truck breaks down they will give me a loner while its getting fixed....

    Not to mention the truck has On-star and a leather wrapped steering wheel, i mean come even though the tacoma will resale for more in the long run i will be able to seat 6 in my new truck....

    And finally it has On-star which no tacoma has so that in itself will get me anywhere i need to go. :D

    Peace out tacomaworld im looking forward to On-star
































    JK fuck the gmc canyon :D

    Yeah rugged trails. But I doubt the A/T would do much better in that soup. I'm merely guessing though. I wouldn't even consider going through that mess without a beefy M/T.

    Oh I agree! I've had them get me out of muddy situations that I put myself into. :rolleyes: but I've always had this mental performance gap between what the tires can do and what I WISH they could do. :p

    This video cracks me up, the 355 twins just cant compete with the Tacoma. I traded my colorado in on my 2012 Tacoma a month ago and i can tell you first hand there is no comparison. I will give them the fact that it does have the two position tailgate which was pretty nice and i used that feature a lot, other then that yeah ok it has onstar but you have to pay for it. As far as power, yes on paper the I5 has 242hp but it has no torque down low. That was my biggest complaint with my I5 and the 5.3 in them is a joke since its so underpowered, you have to mod it to get anything out of it. Tacoma=win in my book, very glad i decided to upgrade and get myself the Tacoma!

    Forgot to mention, the oil life monitor is a joke i owned my truck for 4.5 years and put 80k on it and that thing only ever came on 1 time, i never went off of that monitor just changed my oil based on mileage.

    That was hard to watch. The moron in the GMC Couldn't drive worth a shit...and then the tiny dick mobile had to come in and show him how it was done :rolleyes:

    Although I was impressed when the dude in the gmc got out.

    And did anyone else notice the gmc's motor sounded like it had a handful of nickels in the crank case??

    Wow, that was kinda funny, the only real advantage I see is the engine. And I am not saying that GM engines are better, just that they have more options, our engine is out dated... but still a good engine compared to the GMC option. And I dont think that +27hp is a good reason to go get a GMC...

    I think they brought up OnStar 5 times in the video, and I dont care nor want OnStar.

    They also brought up leather seats and a leather wrapped steering wheel, also things I have never wanted for in my Tacoma, dont care.

    Also, the GMC sits low like a car, and looks like crap. I will keep my Tacoma, and buy another one when the time comes.

    Go drive one and then you will understand, when it first came out I was looking to trade in my 5 banger rado for one. It is just doesn't feel like the power of a v8 is there. I got back in mine after the test drive and it felt just as quick. Granted it does have more torque but gm has it tuned way down for this application.

    Both Tacoma owners and Canyon owners have one thing in common: they wouldn't typically won't buy another one.

    The difference though, is that the Tacoma owner wouldn't buy another one because he can't wear the first one out!

    (insert comedic punch line drums)
