2015 Chevy Colorado v. Toyota Tacoma v. Nissan Frontier

The midsize truck segment suddenly became a lot more crowded as 2015 Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon are hitting the dealership lots now. TFLtruck got to drive the newest Chevy pickup truck in a back-to-back comparison against the Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier.

All three trucks in this comparison were Crew Cab with 4×4 and available V6 engines. The Tacoma and the Frontier have been around for many year and have fine-tuned reliability, durability, and off-road prowess. The 2015 Chevy Colorado is the new kid on the block and it’s bringing direct injection V6, 6-speed automatic, better fuel economy, and towing capability. (FYI, the maximum trailering package on the Colorado is called Z82.)
