I like the colorado/canyon trucks. Haven't really heard much about them

Don't know anyone who owns one either. The new tacoma seems to be kicking everyones ass in the small/midsize truck market

(I see about 10 new tacamas per 1 colorado/canyon.) The reviews I have read state that's it a good truck with decent fuel mileage. The I-5 has good power if your not going to tow with it. It did not perform well VS. the other midsize/small trucks in towing or acceleration/power. Test drive it and see if you like it
