2024 Toyota Tacoma vs. 2024 Chevy Colorado: Performance

One of the most important considerations when buying a new pickup is its performance specs. Both the Toyota Tacoma and Chevy Colorado will back you up on every job, but the Toyota is a better buy for a few reasons:

• With 228 hp and 237 hp, the Toyota Tacoma and Chevy Colorado are more or less evenly matched—in their standard configurations. However, you’ll get 278 hp if you upgrade to any Tacoma other than the base model.
• Only the Toyota Tacoma has an available hybrid powertrain that provides instant torque and power alongside improved fuel economy.

If you’re more interested in taking your truck off the beaten path than using it for the job site, the Toyota Tacoma TRD is legendary for its off-road prowess. And no matter where you roam, you’ll enjoy the peace of mind that comes from Toyota Safety Sense™ 3.0: an active safety and driver-assistance suite that features Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control and more as standard features. While adaptive cruise control is available on the Colorado, it’ll cost you extra.

2024 Toyota Tacoma vs. 2024 Chevy Colorado: Capability

While the 2024 Colorado has a higher max towing capacity than the new Tacoma, the Tacoma holds its own with up to 6,500 pounds of towing ability. That’s more than enough to haul your camper, boat, off-road toys, or other gear.

When comparing the truck beds of the Toyota Tacoma or Chevy Colorado, though, the Tacoma has a clear edge. While the Colorado only offers a 5-foot-2-inch truck bed, the Tacoma gives drivers a choice between a five-foot or six-foot bed, which gives you much more room to carry everything you need.

2024 Toyota Tacoma vs. 2024 Chevy Colorado: Maintenance

One benefit you might not have even considered is complimentary maintenance on your new truck. Every single Toyota Tacoma includes two years or 25,000 miles of complimentary scheduled maintenance! This is a huge benefit over the Chevy Colorado’s prepaid maintenance plans, so contact our service department to learn more about how this works.
