"These trucks will not only be great for GM buyers, but also for Tacoma buyers tired of lousy gas mileage. the buyers of Colorado"
I was reviewing these two trucks and lots say the Colorado has a soggy gas pedal. Then I looked at 0-30mph times, 0-60 and 0-90 and finally took a look at how long it took both trucks to cross the 1/4mile. The Tacoma is faster at 2.5 seconds to 30mph and has gained a lot of ground, the Colorado just beats it by 0.4 seconds through the 1/4 mile. This must mean the Tacoma was ahead for most of the race. The mapping in the Colorado saves fuel but the Tacoma is much more responsive, easy to position in traffic and will beat a Colorado from light to light. I prefer the gas mileage of the Tacoma for what I get to what the Colorado does not get in order to save that fuel. Its a matter of preference and driveability, plus the Tacoma has a superior approach angle that gives off road and on road clearance advantages vs aerodynamics in the Colorado that hinders its ability but saves fuel. I would rather spend a little more on fuel to own a Tacoma via all the benefits that brings.
