But again, if you're looking for a solid, reliable vehicle that can haul your junk and will go vroom every time you turn the key, a Colorado or Canyon can be purchased for much less than a comparable Tacoma-and depending on the drivetrain, it can get you some bigger performance to boot. The Colorado was offered with uplevel interior trim that will get you all the bells and whistles you can imagine, but GM's long-term durability for items like switches and relays and wiring can be somewhat questionable, so what you gain in drivetrain durability you may wind up trading off with annoying electrical gremlins and aesthetic drawbacks like chalking plastics. Just pick your fuel economy bogies and select accordingly.

If GM knows one thing, it's how to build a durable engine, and pretty much any of the Colorado's powerplant options will serve you well.
