Compare Chevrolet Colorado vs Toyota Tacoma in Sealy, TX

There has been a new surge of interest in the midsize truck segment, with the new Chevy Colorado and the Toyota Tacoma leading the way. Both trucks have solid towing and hauling capacity, a comfortable ride, and capable powertrains. In addition, both trucks have practical bed features and advanced technology. However, the Chevy Colorado is the clear winner, and we'll show you why in this comparison from Tegeler Chevrolet in Sealy, TX.

A comparison of powertrains

The Colorado midsize pickup in our new Chevy Colorado inventory has a turbocharged 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine that generates 310 horsepower, and it's teamed up with an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Toyota Tacoma offers several engines, including a 2.7-liter four-cylinder, a 3.5-liter V6, and a 2.8-liter turbodiesel. The V6 generates only 278 horsepower, so it falls short of the Chevy Colorado and it has less torque than the Colorado. What's more, the Chevy Colorado's transmission is more advanced, so it gives you a smoother and more powerful ride than the Toyota Tacoma.

A comparison of towing and payload

The Chevy Colorado has a maximum towing capacity of 7700 pounds, which is more than any other midsize competitor, including the Toyota Tacoma. The Tacoma has a maximum towing capacity of only 6800 pounds for V6 models. Both trucks have just over 1500 pounds of payload, but the Chevy Colorado takes the crown because it gives you a higher maximum towing capacity.

A comparison of off-road capability

If you want to go off-road, you can choose the Chevy Colorado ZR2 or the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro trim. Both have lifted suspensions, skid plates, and locking differentials. The Tacoma TRD Pro has Fox shocks, while the Colorado ZR2 gives you highly capable Multimatic DSSV dampers. The Chevy Colorado was named the MotorTrend Truck of the Year because of its superior off-road capabilities, so it comes out ahead again. Look over our new inventory and test drive the Colorado midsize pickup at Tegeler Chevrolet in Sealy, TX.
