2017 Chevrolet Colorado vs. 2017 Toyota Tacoma: Compare Trucks

Bengt Halvorson Bengt Halvorson Senior Editor

If you want a pickup that’s more manageable and maneuverable—and perhaps more fuel-efficient—than a full-size truck, the market is gradually coming back to life after years of stagnation. And the recently redesigned Chevrolet Colorado and Toyota Tacoma are both prime examples of this trend.

With these two models—as well as the GMC Canyon, which is nearly identical to the Colorado but offers unique styling—shoppers now have a set of relatively modern, well-conceived (albeit perhaps closer to mid-size than compact) alternatives to going large. Both models offer a choice of four-cylinder and V-6 engines, and the usual vast menu of cab and bed sizes, trim levels, and equipment packages; but there are some key differences between these two models.

TCC’s Bottom Line
Don't quite need a full-size truck? The Chevrolet Colorado makes a compelling case for the way most of us truly use our pickups. A new TRD Pro package further cements the 2017 Toyota Tacoma's reputation as an off-road leader.
