2012 Chevrolet Colorado vs Toyota Tacoma

At Art Gamblin Motors we are confident that the The Chevy Colorado out performs the Toyota Tacoma. Below is just a short sampling of the reason why:        

Safety: The front shoulder belts of the Chevrolet Colorado are height-adjustable. The Tacoma only has front height-adjustable seat belts and no whiplash protection. The Colorado also has standard OnStar, which uses a GPS receiver and a cellular system to remotely unlock your doors if you’re locked out, help find your vehicle if it’s stolen or even automatically send emergency personnel to your location if needed. The Toyota Tacoma fails to offer anything comparable to OnStar. Parking assistance sensors in the Cruze, excluding the LS model, warn the driver of obstructions, which greatly reduce the chance of accidents. The Tacoma offers nothing comparable to this. Full time four-wheel drive is also optional on the Chevy Colorado. Full-time four-wheel drive gives added traction for safety in all conditions, while the Tacoma only offers 4-wheel drive that helps when off-roading.Engine:The Colorado has more powerful standard and optional engines than the Tacoma, which allows the Colorado a higher standard payload capacity than the Tacoma and greater overall performance. According to the EPA the Colorado also gets better fuel efficiency than the Tacoma. The EPA’s Green Vehicle Guide even rates the Chevrolet Colorado higher than the Toyota in environmental friendliness meaning that the Colorado produces much less smog than the Tacoma.  pounds less smog-producing pollutants than the Tacoma every 15,000 miles. 
2012 Chevrolet Colorado Warranty:Chevrolet’s powertrain warranty covers the Colorado 40,000 miles longer than Toyota covers the Tacoma. Colorado’s corrosion warranty is also 1 year longer than the Tacoma’s. There are also nearly 4 times as many Chevrolet dealers as there are Toyota dealers—making it a lot easier to get service under Chevrolet’s warranty than Toyota’s.   Interior: The Colorado Extended Cab Pickup offers optional seating for 5 passengers; the Tacoma Access Cab can only carry up to 4. The Colorado Crew Cab Pickup offers optional seating for 6 passengers; the Tacoma Double Cab can only carry up to 5. The Colorado Extended Cab Pickup has 2.3 inches more front legroom, 3 inches more rear headroom and 4.9 inches more rear hip room than the Tacoma Access Cab. The Colorado Crew Cab Pickup has 2.3 inches more front legroom and 2.1 inches more rear legroom than the Tacoma Double Cab.
