2.7 ho makes more power and similar TQ while achieving similar mpg. Little less. Don’t see why they would need to offer the dmax. The 2.7 is also forged from factory and has similar characteristics as a diesel. Low compression/high boost. It’s a great little engine.

The Tacoma is still old school, mechanical wise. Care Care Nut did a great video, going in depth on what makes the Tacoma so reliable. Only time will tell if GM built a lemon here, or not. One thing that is nice about the new GM engine, is how large of an 4 cylinder it is. That should help it last longer, although with turbos on it...who knows.

[@karlschauff7989]

The 1st and 2nd gen Taco are solid (aside from 4.0L head gasket problems). The 3rd gen has not lived up to the reliability standard set by previous gens. Between the terrible transmission tuning, the engine tuning that makes it feel like the engine might stall out at intersections, high pressure fuel pump failures, cheap imported rear diffs with terrible gear whine (and leaks), etc... the 3rd gen is referred to as the turd gen for a reason. Even CR rated it least reliable midsize truck for like 3 years in a row. The 2GR-FKS was a downgrade from the 1GR-FE. There are way too many 2016 and 2017 Tacos with blown engines owned by veteran members of tacomaworld. A concerning number of blown engines IMO.

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

@@karlschauff7989 Yes I don't have much faith in the new generation Tundra. I have a 2008 Tundra with a 5.7L V8 engine with almost 300,000 miles. It is bulletproof. I seriously doubt the twin turbo engine will last that long without some very costly repairs. And the 3rd gen Tacoma is still reliable. There is a guy on youtube who posted his 3rd gen Tacoma with 300,000 miles already on the odometer. He claims he has had very little issues. I definitely trust the Tacoma over the new generation Tundra. It is the only reason why I got a Tacoma over a Tundra. Had they kept the 5.7L V8 engine in at least the base model, I would've gotten a Tundra. The turbo engine garbage will be the end of Toyota reliability.

The biggest thing the Toyota has going for it, is the absolutely massive fanbase and therefore aftermarket availability. You can turn that truck into anything you want it to be. That said, this new Colorado is very interesting, although it has to have cruise control, and a spray in bedliner. Those are must-have options, IMO. This new 2.7L motor is intriguing, I'm interested to see if it becomes a cult classic one day. Maybe I'll go drive one this weekend.

Not well, but didn’t let me down. Didn’t damage the engine at all and my mechanic said that, while what I did was stupid, he’s seen other Tacomas go further with slipping past-due timing chains, even broken teeth, stretching issues, as in get them done BUT again just how indestructible the Taco/Helix is.

A philosophical question for the TFL crew - with the massive delivery delays in the 23 Canyon/Colorado halfway through the model year, and the 24 Ranger and Tacoma re-designs out later this summer (Ranger reveal in early June), is it going to be better at this point to wait for the 24 Canyon/Colorado to do a true pairwise comparison with the 24 Ranger and Tacoma? I would like to order a 23 Canyon AT4 (BTW nothing on the lots yet here in New England to even test drive, Canyon or Colorado minus a few Chevy WTs), but if I'm going to wait 4 months from the order date and maybe see it in early September, wouldn't make sense just to wait and see what the Ford and Toyota re-designs bring to the table?

[@EGGINFOOLS]

Just going by looks because I've seen a few raptor rangers and the lower trim rangers, I personally like the GM trucks better. Especially the Colorado. Either way it can't hurt to wait a model year for any truck if you get to at least test drive them before spending 40k or more

[@CurtinFortCollins]

I love the upgrades to the Colorado and look forward to the Tacoma redo. One issues I always have with Ford, Chevy (GM) and Ram is that changing engines needs long term testing. Smaller engines with turbo make me nervous for a vehicle that may be driven hard. I hope the 2.4L is reliable. I would love this with a non-turbo diesel engine! I do prefer to have cruise control! 🤑

[@karlschauff7989]

Changing or revising engines is a problem even with Toyota. There are a shocking number of 2016/17 Tacomas with blown 3.5L 2GR's. I agree though, whenever a manufacturer even just heavily revises an engine design, that deserves a little skeptical optimism and patience. Always wait to see how a new engine performs in the real world before spending your own money on it.

[@ericschmidt3759]

Is the problem with the warranty on the Colorado remedied? The one where if you put a camper in the Colorado that you void the warranty? I looked at both trucks when I bought my Tacoma awhile ago. That reason alone was why I bought the Tacoma. I love both trucks. They’re both very capable trucks. There’s more aftermarket for the Tacoma than any other brand except for Jeep Wrangler/Gladiator. Customization is almost unlimited.

[@jimjudson4468]

Even my 2020 Ford Ranger XLT FX4 comes with adaptive cruise with the group 302a that I ordered. The bad part is the suspension isn’t anywhere close to what you get on the new Colorado trail boss. I had to completely redo the front and rear suspension all the way down to the leaf springs including new wheels. I’d rather get a better suspension than worry about cruise control that hardly ever gets used. Very impressed with the 2023 Colorado. If I was in the market, I’d definitely consider a trail boss or ZR2. Haven’t liked any of the past models until now.

I'm from Detroit and grew up in a GM family and have owned several Chevy trucks, from a S-10 to a Suburban. I almost got 200,000 out of the S-10...but only after replacing the engine and tranny at 125,000 miles. I still have a 2001 Tacoma with 350,000 miles with the original engine and tranny. I can live with it being a little slower and a little weaker in towing knowing that it will put 2 Chevys in the grave. When GM products last as long as Toyota, we'll talk about it.

I'm excited for the new Tacoma and the 4Runner to be released and a redesigned Ford Ranger that will give us consumers even more choices with good value. I personally live in a wintery state, and I often find myself needing something good in the snow but with the ability to haul things to the lake. Mid-size trucks are where it's at!

[@TheNewenglandboys]

I’ve personally never owned a Toyota pickup but one thing I can see first and foremost, Toyota has an undeniable reputation for quality and longevity. That in itself is something money can’t buy in the Colorado. That said, $40,000 plus didn’t even buy cruise control or a bed liner! The Tacoma obviously doesn’t need a bed liner by virtue of the composite bed. If GM was going to compete it seems they would at least make a bed liner standard. No cruise control, no bed liner, and going head to head against Toyotas reputation for quality? Really? “No go” for me. Although subjectively the Colorado is better looking and probably more comfortable.

When you say that the new Colorado has more "technology inside," what exactly are you referencing? If you are saying that the screen is larger & that it has wireless CarPlay/Android Auto, I guess I can understand that to a point.

[@basket1734]

I've owned both... 2018 Colorado... 2019 Tacoma... would (currently drive an F-150)... I have absolutely no idea why everyday folks like the Tacoma... I found it annoyingly small both in the cab and in the bed, but the absolute worst aspect about it was how slow it was. Living in Texas, and driving mostly on the highway, I think the Tacoma is dangerously slow. It is the best selling... my response to that is neat... so is a McDonald's hamburger. The only reason to buy the Tacoma, for someone who uses a truck like me, is the resell value. I had the Tacoma for 11 months, and couldn't wait to get rid of it... so the resell value did help me out in the end. I got rid of the 2018 Colorado because after 30,000 miles the transmission started to bog down shifting from 2nd to 3rd... so unless they scrapped the old 8 speed and re-engineered a new transmission, with the help from literally anyone else who knows how to make a transmission, I'd never buy another GM product with one in it.

[@westcoastplinkin6559]

I've been daily driving the Tacoma for about a year. My previous truck was a full size. In the city, full size is a pain. The Tacoma is the perfect size. Going in and out of parking garages is easy, finding parking is easy, navigating narro streets is easy, plus it has the off road capabilities as well. And even though my previous truck had a 5.7L V8, I don't think the Tacoma is slow for daily driving. Maybe if you're racing, but I am very content daily driving it. Been using it every single day since I got it. I even let my dad borrow it for his business when his F150 broke down.

[@Pantelifts10]

I'm a Toyota fanboy. Owned 2 tundras (recently sold one of them). Toyota is going backwards imo. Tundra and Tacoma. Their best thing was reliability. That's not a fact anymore the last 2 years but their prices keep climbing high still. They're really overpriced for what they offer as trucks. They're still low on payload and towing numbers. They're just living of their past good quality (excluding rusty frames, beds and some other issues). Too bad cause I'd love a Toyota HD truck or a "world beater" new Tundra but I don't see it happening. Tacoma is still more reliable but terrible on gas for how small it is and not real improvements. Just price climb.

Personally, I like the mostly uniform color of the interiors of both the trucks. Not really a fan of wildly varied colors, like the tri-color brown/light gray/charcoal seats in a Bronco Sport or brightly colored stitching that only comes in one color regardless of the exterior color that many brands seem fond of.
