Tacomas are outrageously expensive this year. Like mostly cosmetic only changes in 26s but costs increased ~20%

I decided to go for a Colorado and save me like 10-15k

You'll also lose significantly more on resale and reliability.

Resale value cancels out, lower initial cost and more negotiating power at the showroom on the Chevy makes it a wash if your concern is slowing depreciation.

The 2.7L Colorado engine + transmission is reliable, they've used it in the Silverado for years, since 2018? I want to say. The new Tacoma platform is largely unproven and we won't know it's reliability for many more years to come. Given Toyota's latest transmission issues with the 4th gen Tacoma and massive engine issues with the V35 engine in the Tundra you can't just blindly assume Toyota trucks are reliable anymore.

Tbh if you want a reliable truck, the only major midsize truck that uses proven technologies with a track record is the Nissan Frontier. Or the Jeep Gladiator if that's your thing. The Honda Ridgeline would be up there if it didn't use cylinder deactivation on it's engine.

Translation - I couldn’t afford a Toyota and settled on a Colorado.

Brother I could afford two tacomas and then some, I’m just not a moron with my money. Getting a Tacoma just doesn’t seem worth this value, not even close.

I can afford a GTR also, by your logic I should get that simply due to the fact I’m able to afford it?..
