Mid-size trucks

I'm looking to get a truck but trying to decide between a Tacoma, Frontier, or Colorado. I've owned a Tacoma before and loved it but it was one of the older models. I know the Tacoma and Colorado are the two most popular and the Frontier is a bit outdated and lower on price. Any suggestions or experiences with these trucks.

I'd go with the Toyota just because of the reliability and resale value.

Toyota is coming out with a new Tacoma in the next couple of years. Current model is looking dated. Still think I'd pick it over the other two.

Yeah that is the major selling point with the Tacoma's. Actually trying to get in right now but payments are a bit higher than I would like.

I work at the Colorado truck plant. When they came out with the new diesel engine they detuned the truck way down because how much power it was making, it would literally fry the tires off and it still puts out 360ft lbs of tourque out of a 4 cylinder turbo diesel

I think the diesels in them are pretty cool but dang the price tag. Can buy a full size truck for that price.

Yeah they are pricey indeed especially if that deisel is in a (gmc) Denali or a ZR2 package. The Toyotas have a loyal customer the Ford Ranger will be coming out in 2018 as well

The ZR2's look sick. Very interesting to see how the Ranger will look and compare to the Tacoma and Colorado. I am very surprised Nissan hasn't done anything with the Frontier. I know there were rumors at one time about a new Frontier but Nissan has been silent on it.

get a real truck

Tacoma is the easy #1 on that list.

Yeah..I think I will go back to the Tacoma. The resale value, 2 years of services, and the dealership has a lifetime powertrain warranty is worth it. Now, if the dealership can drop the payment down another 45 bucks.

the new tacoma is great plus the residual value is great on them

Oh, they will drop you payment, but buyer beware on what that means to you.

The Toyota Tacoma is the best truck ever made. But if you can save some money, I'd go for the Frontier. The Colorado looks nice but don't know any owners.

The Tacoma is the mid-size GOAT but for what they want for them today, get a full size.

Yeah...the prices on them have soared over the last few years. The 2WD SR5 Pre-runners (double cab) runs between 30 to 33K. To get a 4WD, prices start 34 and up.

I can get a 4x4 Frontier for almost under 30K. They are not bad looking trucks but the value doesn't hold compared to the Tacoma and Colorado. The biggest thing I didn't like about the Frontier compared to the Tacoma is the back seat is tighter in the Frontier. When Nissan does make a more updated Frontier, the prices are going to go up but you are right, if saving money is the issue then get a Frontier.

I'd check and see if there are any volume dealerships in your area they always have nice rebates i bought my 2013 GMC Sierra 2500hd with 17 miles on it ended up having 14k in rebates helped justifying a brand new truck

Yeah...I've been checking but nothing has stood out in my price range.

I actually took my own advice in '15; got a 2015 Sierra, LOADED, Black-out special. More HP, a lot more comfy, a lot better towing cap......and better MPG......$38K before trade-in ('06 Tacoma)
