    The skid plate kit deletes the chin spoiler, so the Colorado approach angle should increase with that option and you can get 1" larger off-road tires for $495 as an option on the Colorado which is also going to help all the off-road numbers. Toyota is trying to be the new Jeep with outrageous pricing. The best bang for your buck mid size off-roader is the ZR2 with leather and Bose for under $51K

  • @live4mac
    @live4mac 5 месяцев назад +6

    The way GM and Toyota have put together their trims and option packages has made it harder to compare these two. The Trailboss is a more basic interior, even fully optioned, than the mid grade TRD OR. A more apt comparison would be the GMC Canyon AT4 vs the TRD OR mid grade. The AT4 gets the offroad upgrades of the trailboss, interior of the Z71, and the HO tune. In this case the canyon comes in within $2k of the TRD but has a more upscale looking interior. The real value option from GM is the Colorado ZR2 with the tech package and convenience package for right around $51k. At that price, you get an interior comparable to the TRD premium and offroad equipment more comparable to a TRD pro.
    As for the power comparison, the Tacoma hits 317ftlbs peak torque at 1700 rpm and holds that steady all the way to 3500rpm before dying off. The Colorado is at 350ftlbs by 1700rpm building to 430ft lbs at 3000rpm and staying above 300ft lbs until 5200rpm. Based on the torque curve of the Tacoma, it looks like Toyota detuned the iForce to give more separation between it and the iForce max.

  • @bobbysmith9411
    @bobbysmith9411 5 месяцев назад +6

    So here’s the Break down this is every option package available for 2023 GM twins minus any accessories. (Added Bed lighting to the GMs) Tacoma includes max premium packages. Toyota slotted themselves in between the two. Obviously pricing will increase some once 2024 GM pricing is released. I’d suspect a few hundred only.

      I had to go to a couple dealers but was able to buy a Colorado at sticker (who’d have thought paying full price for a midsize truck would feel like a win). All the convenience packages, safety, tech, towing and a remote start. With taxes, tags, and the bs dealer processing fee I was out the door right at $45k. A lot of money but for what you get it was the best deal going.
      My local Toyota dealer sounds like they’re trying to get around $2,500 over sticker (plus the other bullshit dealer fees) on even basic ‘24 tacos.

    • @Dusdaddy
      @Dusdaddy 5 месяцев назад

      I think it's better overall in addition to just suspension, (interior quality, options, etc.). The Trail Boss is a very stripped down off-roader. Which is great. But you can get the Off-road the same way if you don't throw a bunch of options at it. The Tacoma Off-Road optioned out is more like the Z71 with better suspension.

  • @SirRecon

    I like your approach to comparing these vehicles, using datapoints that actually matter for off roading and such, so many get hung up on engine only, I’d say the TRD is closer to a ZR2 though with lockers front and back, I know personally that would be my apples to apples comparison when buying one next year, I am patiently waiting though for a review of that hybrid engine, which could in theory blow away the other 4 cylinders in the segment

    I still think if you wanted to compare like equipped trucks, you should have compared the Trailboss to the Sport 4wd and the Off road to the Z71. Then the pricing is much closer, like less than $1500. I understand they are opposites for suspension reasons but that is much closer when you look at the big picture of interior "quality" and options available. And honestly, how different is the suspension on a Z71? Overall height is .3" less and ground clearance less than an 1" shorter.

The Colorado was 33rd. The Tundra was 12th. Gladiator and Ram were 27/28. This counts where it was assembled as well as the percentage of US/CAN parts used. Pretty sad when the F150 is 66 and Silverado was 96.

    I really went back and forth on the two trucks. Both are excellent options in midsize in my opinion. I bought the 2024 Colorado Trail Boss because i felt like i had more clearance when sitting inside it at 6’2. I felt a little cramped in the Tacoma. Also, i love the Colorado’s look! It looks so aggressive and i like my vehicles to look like me. I feel the Colorado fit me more than the Taco. It’s really about personal preference with the specs in my opinion and i think both will be able to take on the same things. What i can say is that the Taco has a lot more products to add on at this point because the Colorado is fairly new in concept. So, if that’s something you need now, go with the Tacoma. I’m willing to wait for the add on third party accessories because i will have this truck for the long haul. It’s not my daily driver and i will only put about 5k a year or so on this truck so it works for me.

    Here in Canada, the Colorado zr2 starts at 57k, the trd off road is supposed to start at 56k so it's a no brainer at least for off road capability ZR2 all day.
    It is weird how the pricing is so much different here and not even proportionate to what it is for you guys.
    I don't think the Trail Boss was ever meant to compare directly to the trd off road, the trail boss is an entry level off road trim (thus the much cheaper price). Also the Trail Boss comes with the silly airdam...thus the much worse approach angle, this can be fixed easily.
    For what it's worth I'm sure the TRD off road is more capable than the Trail Boss simply because of the MTS/Crawl Control and selectable (as opposed to auto) locker
    The Trail Boss reminds me of the last/current gen Tacoma "trail" edition, basic interior, halogen lights, no MTS/Crawl Control but still had a locker and a small lift .
    I'm guessing the pricing (at least up here) of the ZR2 Bison will compare directly to the trd pro....but we will see , nothing announced yet.

I know it doesn’t come out for a couple more months but i think the hybrid long term will get WAY more clicks. Just my opinion.

    My personal feelings...If Toyota truly addressed the seating position and comfort inside, then the logical choice is the Toyota. I'm assuming that the quality will still be there in the Toyota as well.
    I do like the Chevy. I love the design. I don't like the lack of a knob for the lights. I hate that. I don't like the G80 rear locker. The Toyota with the sway bar disconnect and the rear locker definitely kicks the Chevy's butt in that department. The price? Everything with an engine (or battery) in 2024 is way too expensive. Still, I would finance that extra $7k for the Toyota. Just my 2 cents. Nice job laying it out though, Tim.

    I love chevy trucks and toyota trucks. I will say this, the toyota is 7k more for a reason. You can buy 2 or 3 chevy trucks and have them all die before one toyota truck dies. That over the years has been a fact. While many chevy trucks see 250k miles when treated well. The toyota tacoma has many get 400k to 500k miles. There has been several on my tacoma pages to get 600k to 800k miles. If you want a long lasting truck, then the answer of ,why pay 7k more becomes clear. If you're not worried about having a truck running until the day you die lol, I think both offer amazing features for different needs. I think it comes down to what you are looking for. I like them both. I'd pick the tacoma because I do want something to last past my death, lol. 😂

      That may have been true when they kept a reliable V6. I wouldn't bet on that now that it's a 4 banger turbo. Toyota is not exempt from the laws of physics. Also for the price difference you could keep that pile of money in an investment account or buy an extended warranty to cover repairs if you are that paranoid. Nobody keeps their trucks to 500k anymore. Everyone has ADD and wants the latest and greatest. That's how Tim makes his money by reviewing new trucks.

      Also, who cares if the resale value 5 years later is higher. You have to pay that resale value upfront now. If you would put the resale delta into a certificate of deposit then it would make money for YOU for five years. Otherwise, it will make money for the DEALER and TOYOTA. It’s even worse if you buy with a car loan because then the so called extra resale value (that you have to pay upfront) will COST you 7-8% annually for five years. People don’t think at all.

      So, as a Toyota Tacoma owner and owner of numerous other trucks, is that what worth it? HELL NO! I've owned enough trucks to know that Toyota's reputation is not worth that big of a price premium. I'll pocket the thousands and let the Toyota loyalists bend over.
