Where others see obstacles, these trucks see potential. No matter the trail that lies in front of you, they can be outfitted with a variety of off-road performance features that help them topple big boulders, navigate over fallen trees, and even tackle deep sand.
Whether your adventures are taking you down long highways, country roads, or even off-road terrain, trucks like the Colorado and the Tacoma have what it takes. They both offer the following:
- 4-wheel drive
- Off-road suspension
- Skid plates
- Automatic locking rear differential
- Over 9 inches of available ground clearance
When it comes to power, however, the Chevy Colorado has a distinct advantage over the Tacoma.
They both offer potent turbocharged engines, but while that of the Colorado pumps out 310 horsepower, the engine in the Tacoma tops out at 278 horsepower.
Does the Chevy Colorado tow more than the Tacoma? The Colorado can tow up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped. Meanwhile, the Tacoma maxes out at 6,500 pounds when properly configured.
With a truck like the Colorado or the Tacoma, every adventure is enhanced. However, it’s important to make sure you and your passengers are safe across all ty0es of terrain. That’s why these two trucks have safety technology.
Both light-duty trucks are packed with smart technology to give you more confidence and control with or without a trailer in tow. The Tacoma equips a similar feature to the Colorado’s available Forward Collision Alert, which warns drivers to potential collisions.
Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning is also standard in both models. It will alert you if your truck begins drifting from your lane. It will help give you more control during those long road trips and is especially useful if you have a trailer in tow.
When you reach your destination, you’ll be a parking pro with the Rear Vision Camera, standard on both the Chevy Colorado and the Toyota Tacoma. Coupled with Rear Park Assist, it alerts you when you get too close to a potential obstacle. These technologies are also helpful when hitching a trailer.
From drives to work to camping trips, you have a lot of plans to look forward to. Your drive should be just as exciting as the destination, and both the Chevy Colorado and the Toyota Tacoma offer many interior features to provide comfort and entertainment.
Step inside the Colorado and the Tacoma. You’ll find two trucks built to give you the comforts of home, even when that’s the last place you want to be.
You can sink into the available leather-trimmed seats and warm up with available heated front seats when your journey leads into the brisk night.
Both trucks also come with advanced infotainment systems that will keep you connected even when you're off the grid. The Colorado’s is centered around a standard 11.3-inch touchscreen. It gives you access to technologies including:
- Bluetooth®
- Wireless Apple CarPlay®
- Wireless Android Auto™
While the Tacoma has the above technology features, you’ll have to settle for the 8-inch screen unless you want to upgrade to one of the higher trim levels.
Both light-duty trucks have lots of off-road prowess, but if you’re looking for better technology, a more powerful engine, and the towing capacity to pull all your extra gear, the Chevy Colorado is the superior choice for your rides around Livonia, Redford, Wayne, MI.
