2018 Toyota Tacoma vs 2018 Chevy Colorado

Whether for work or play, pickup trucks are designed for impressive off-road performance and practical utility. And, unlike full-size pickups, midsize models can easily bridge the gap between fun and functional, thanks to modest design and better fuel efficiency. The Toyota Tacoma and Chevy Colorado are two outstanding examples of this.

If you are looking to invest in a midsize pickup, the Tacoma and Colorado are likely toward the top of your list. We invite you to use the 2018 Toyota Tacoma vs 2018 Chevy Colorado comparison below to get a better idea which one is right for you. Let's start by comparing the base trims of each model.
