We know that when people are looking for a new truck, they’ll eventually find some Chevy Colorado reviews. They’ll also look at some of the truck’s competitors as well, so they can see how it stacks up against the other vehicles in its class. So today, we’re pitting the Chevrolet Colorado up against the Toyota Tacoma, to see which is the better mid-size truck.

The 2021 Toyota Tacoma

The Toyota Tacoma is a capable mid-size pickup, with their 3.5-liter V6 engine generating up to 278 horsepower and 265 lb-ft of torque.

With a variety of traction control methods and some nice tech features like standard Apple CarPlay® (but not Android Auto™), you can haul and have a good time in this ride. That’s all well and good, but…

The 2021 Chevrolet Colorado

…This is what it’s all about. The 2021 Chevrolet Colorado’s powerful 3.6-liter V6 engine delivers up to 308 horsepower and an absolutely crushing 369 lb-ft of torque, which the Tacoma can’t touch at all.

In addition, the Chevy Colorado’s towing capacities are superior. Trailering capacity on the Chevy Colorado is a hefty 7,700 lbs, which stomps the Toyota Tacoma capacity of 6,800 lbs by almost a half-ton.

Add in that the Chevy Colorado can net up to a total of 30 mpg highway and 20 mpg city, and you’ve got a truck that’s not only stronger, but beats the Toyota Tacoma in fuel efficiency by almost ten whole MPG!
