Toyota has pretty much owned the Mid size truck market for the past few years. Even before the Colorado, Dakota and Ranger went away.
I’m in a kinda unique situation in that I work for a Gmc/Buick/Toyota dealership. So we sell, or sold, the GMC Canyon next to the Tacoma. There was no comparison. Colorado/Canyon pretty much sucked. That’s the best way I can put it. I’ll be happy to give specifics but that’s the truth.
Hopefully GM has their act together this time but I’m not hopeful. GM full size trucks have always been pretty good but the mid-size/small(S-10, Colorado) have been pretty awful.
It looks like GM ditched that horrid inline-5 in favor of a V-6. It appears that a 4-cylinder turbodiesel is in the works, too.
