toyota out of their minds with these prices. ZR2 all the way

I take the colorado zr2 anytime

I prefer the Tacoma’s interior layout but the ZR2 looks way better on the exterior. The ZR2 gives you a lot more for the money. I’d go Chevy.

ZR2 comes with nearly everything in it. The convenience package is minimal fluff. Test drove Colorado ZR2 the other day, MSRP $48,950. TRD Offroad comes up quite short in my opinion.

Thanks Ben for the videos! I never thought I’d ever say I’d take a Chevy Colorado over a Toyota Tacoma but that day is here and for me it’s ZR2 all day!

The only thing I like about the tacoma better than the ZR2 is the camera review mirror. Crazy since it was GM that originally brought that feature to market. ZR2 all day long.

ZR2 all the way!!!

Toyota has gotten GREEDY

Colorado and ranger are the trucks to buy now i think.

I'm a Tocoma guy but the ZR2 wins in this comparison

A year ago I would’ve said Tacoma. Now… I’m going Chevy.

The ZR2 is such a good-looking truck

TRD isn't even in the same league as the ZR2

I drive a 2019 Tundra and looking to get in to a midsize. Will definitely go with the ZR2.

ZR2 gets you rear AC, 4WD Auto, real skid plates, tow hooks, rock rails, front locking diff, more power, bigger tires, and better shocks.

I currently have a gen 2 Tacoma that I have been driving for 10 years and put 220k miles on it. I love it, but I think Toyota lost me on this one. I’m going to get the ZR2.

That woman was clearly reliving her Pokemon Go days. As for the trucks, I'd take the ZR2. The Colorado is already a good truck, the ZR2 trim is a pretty good option, and its pricing is fairly reasonable for what it offers, making it rather competitive to the Tacoma.

I will be a ZR2 owner FOR LIFE!!! I own a 2019 Colorado ZR2 Bison in Red Hot. Toyota still doesn’t offer front lockers on anything they build.

Bought a ZR2/white - $54,158.19. OTD taking delivery this coming Sat 06/01/2024. It has everything I want and it looks awesome! Toyota has been a benchmark for a long time but I couldn't justify the price. the competition is fierce now, they aren't ( Toyota ) alone anymore. . Good time to be in the market for a midsize truck lots of good options. Thanks 4 all the great videos CHEERS 🍺🍺

I was going to get a Colorado, but I saw way too many posts on forums of electrical problems bricking them for weeks leaving owners without a truck. I’m 2k miles into my ‘24 Tacoma, 600 of it being towing miles, and everything is really solid!

I myself gotten a 2005 Tacoma the only problem I have this truck never dyed. I don’t mind the luxury I care about getting me to work every day. Thanks

ZR2 is so good looking

Glad I got the Zr2 instead.

Would love to see more information on the back seat room in both, currently have a 23 Tacoma TRD offroad and I’m considering the zr2

The way the screen looks more built into the dash on the chevy is much more appealing than the ipad at that angle.

Toyota prices are just nuts.

Screw all that the Nissan Frontier pro4x is the way to go !

TRD pro over 80K CAD. Geeesh. Thanks for the comparison, they are the same price so wanted to see this.

As someone who is currently shopping for my first off road focused midsize truck, the Z72 seems like the best bet. Though the price is making me look towards 3rd gen tacos

Hands down the Chevy looks more masculine than the Toyota 4th gen, however overall, the Tacoma appears cheaper and more “plasticy” than the zr2.

BEN HARDY !!!!!!!

Can you start adding the fuel capacity on your reviews?

Zr2 for the win 4auto very important if you live in Alberta. I just hate switching from 2H to 4H Front locker Price Looooookkkkkkssssss

They both are good trucks. I’ll stay with my ZR2 Bison. 💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯💯

TFL done an off-road test with these two trucks, I think the Chevy was a regular Chevy not the zr2, The taco broke, Front diff POPPED, Chevy had to help it out.

ZR2 for sure, Sportier layout and design.

Like so many manufacturers Toyotas info screen looks like an afterthought, GM at least integrates the displays into the dash.

Ben’s new word “solid”…which in sales lingo means ..”I am not sold on it and don’t know much about it, or what to say, but I want to sound as positive as I could”😅

Glitches is an understatement. I've been dealing with no cameras in my ZR2 not working since I got it. They got a GM engineer coming out to check it out now since the dealer is stumped since they even replaced the video camera module. I waited 2 months for that part to come in. It's ridiculous how long it takes to get anything fixed on these vehicles.

If I’m forced to go turbo 4 cylinder, zr2 is the one I’d get. Until then, my 23 Tacoma off road 4x4 is what I’m using

Zr2 is a better truck for the money. Made in America too!

Tacoma new 2.4 motor is a beast! 50% over engineered should last a long time. Not the value engineering that goes into the other midsized.

The V6-powered, naturally aspirated Nissan Frontier is the obvious winner. Built in Canton, Mississippi (not Mexico). Cheaper, better value. Better (predictably more reliable) power train. Higher towing capacity. Better fit and finish.

ZR2 for torque and horsepower. But price is out of my range so just a dream for me, can’t afford today’s new trucks.

I’d go taco trdor with heated seats and big screen and no other options….taco is basically a landcruiser with a pickup bed

Colorado is such a better truck but yet the Tacoma will still have better resale for some reason

Comes back the next let's see

if you are comparing prices its apples to apples but if you are comparing features you would need to compare the ZR2 to the Pro

Colorado all day ... erry dey. But you know Toyota is saying....yeah but it's not a Toyota. And everyone knows this is really a tough choice.

I know you try to stay non-biased on your reviews. But it would be nice if you gave your opinion at the end, like which one you would pick regardless of the money just based on your personal preferences.

A better comparison would be to the Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. I would like to see that video if it’s in the pipeline

Toyota has lost their minds with pricing across their entire lineup. I was saving for a Tacoma and Supra for years, but have now fully abandoned wanting them because of how badly prices have gotten. I ended up buying a ZR2 about a month ago and have loved it without any issues. I'll also be looking for a C8 instead of a supra since its only a tiny bit more expensive but alot better.

I work at suspension company and ZR2 has very very limited aftermarket support from previous gen and current gen.

Buy a ZR2… Don’t even think twice, it’s not even close. Legitimately the best vehicle, car or truck, that I’ve ever owned.

These trucks are almost getting to where you need a step stool or ladder to work under the hood.

For engine tacoma and for looks colorado

At 80k miles I'm waiting for the Chevy to break.. That's the $ difference here.. Features on the Chevy offset the (perceived) reliability of the Toyota. See tfl yt for when their "blueberry" taco broke an axel. It was far from abuse when it broke..

I would expect the Toyota to hold up better over time. I would think if you shop around on the Colorado you can get a deal that just won't happen with the Toyota.

It appears Toyota has forgot what got them to “The Show”: Reasonable pricing and exceptional reliability and simple engineering. The current Gen Tundra has shown to be super expensive and with a serious flaw in reliability. Nothing worse than choosing an off-roader that you can’t trust. That’s why I’m sticking with my 2.5 gen Tundra and 200 series Land Cruiser. I could be proven wrong over time, I’ll be on the sidelines until it decided one way or another.

I'll take the one on the trailer at 8:28

They’re both mall cruisers with their 2 ft beds. Real trucks have at least a 6ft bed.

Same amount of money? OMG that statement cracked me up, you should create a channel for comedy. Dude you are funny. BTW apples to apples would be ZR2 vs TRD Pro. Chevy wins hands down, no competition unless you like to give the toyota CEO massive amount of profits for his yacht.

5/26/24 - Good comparison Both prices are ridicules high Ok, so it's the future 2024 Tacoma has gone woke - Cost high - Dislike turbo - Dislike auto tailgate - Dislike multi link suspension - Prefer analog - Like the big dashboard controls *just more new things to breakdown 2024 Colorado Z2 - Cost high - Like 4cylinder - Like manual tailgate - Like leaf suspension - Prefer analog - Dislike small dashboard controls The Colorado Z2 looks I like more than the Tacoma It is tempting to jump ship for Colorado But I'll wait 2030 - 2040 see What else new reliability Is produce from the 2022 - 2028 vehicles and vehicles to be Thank you for these comparisons

The Chevy is built in Wentzville, Missouri. The Toyota is built in Mexico. At least the Toyota comes with free rattling sounds, loose plastic parts and uneven gaps in the body panels.

Chevy zr2 all the way. I had a tundra and wasn’t impressed. Not very solid at all. Loud.

thats why i chose the zr2 , you get more for the price

ZR2 all day

You were to kind with the seat spacing in the Tacoma, my God a bunch of gnomes couldn’t find leg room in there!

zr2 in a heart beat! Overall look of the zr2 is way better than the Tacoma

Both look good but I don’t trust either turbo 4 for long term reliability….

Ben… 30 second test drive? Do they not want you driving them? No freeway etc didn’t Eve. Hit 40 mph lol

Both good looking trucks,,,but at the end of the day, the Tacoma gonna be better on down the road. Still would take the ZR2

I’m a big Tacoma fan but that ZR2 is the way to go. Sorry Toyota, I love your Tacos but I still need to feed my family and afford a roof over our head.

They aren't the same price in Canada unfortunately

After owning both the Toyota 3rd Gen Tacoma and a Colorado 18,20 & 22 Bison when I was in the market for a personal midsize truck I went with the Toyota. (They cost the same but just personal preference) both are great trucks but I just could not take a chance on GM at this point. I had SO many issues with my Colorado’s it was unreal. Great vid. I like the tough looks of the Colorado ZR2 though.

I’d still go with the Tacoma, personally. I don’t like the appearance of the other trucks. The exterior of GM is okay but the interior just feels so cheap and I don’t like the general GM aesthetic. Ranger has the least appealing exterior I’ve seen on a truck. Perhaps I’m just picky but the Taco is the only mid-size truck I like. I’d look at full-size otherwise.

Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX $49k Chevy Colorado ZR2 $49k

Market on the zr2 will plummet, since they change something every 2-3 years on their trims. Toyota will always hold its value.

There is no comparing… the ZR2 blows away the Toyota on every level!

With decreased reliability and increased prices Toyota gave GM and Ford some of their clients.

does the Colorado still not have cruise control? that's a deal breaker. The Frontier is looking like the best option right now.

Same price ? Where toy is atomic 9 to 10,000 more even tho the chevy ZR2 is better locking from and rear. And steering not as heavy.and looks better my opinion as well

It's 2024 and CHEVY still rocking leaf springs is wild.

Check back in 2039 & see how they compare

Market forces will and are bringing Toyota back down to earth (Tundra, and Lexus issues are huge embarrassment for them right now - flames fanned by the internet ). Other channel pointed out - Toyota offering 0% interest on Tundras "which they hardly ever do". And it's all just started. Folks like you pointing out their pricing scheme, and they use allocation unlike "normal" - gonna all add up...

Zr2 👍

Neither. Thar turbocharger is an extra part that will need replaced and it blows extra air through the engine, which will cause that to need replaced far sooner. Nissan Frontier all the way baby!

ZR2!!!!!!!

I’ll never buy that Colorado for the look. It’s reliability sucks in the long run. However, I won’t buy the Tacoma either due to crazy price.

Chevy tax and longevity is a concern if you set a side all the fluff.

I'm a huge toyota guy but i find myself falling out of love with their new vehicles. Ridiculously overpriced for what you get. Reliability isn't what it used to be with all the new motors and tech they're using. Toyota fan boys will argue that till they're blue in the face but the reality is no one keeps their cars that long anymore. Other options have become the best bang for your buck now.

Did Toyota Velcro on that laptop screen to the dashboard? Looks like Chevy “integrated “ the screen better, but all manufacturers went crazy with that tech crap. Don’t want it. Won’t buy it.

I get it, I considered the ZR2 - but I just don't trust the long term reliability of Chevy.

More power, looks better. Gotta go with the Chevy.

Your wallet is tied to the Stealerships with either one. I'll keep my rusty 1995 Dodge Ram with the 12 valve cummins.

I have a 24 ZR2 and not happy whatsoever with the build quality of the interior. Plastic rattling everywhere

Taco all day!

ZR2 with out a doubt...Toy is way over priced!

Tacoma TRD off road all the way

GM’s have cylinder deactivation. Have fun driving a two cylinder down the highway……..
