In need of a vehicle that can tow and haul its fair share of cargo? Beyond full-size pickups, there are midsize models that still have strong capabilities while also being more suitable for drivers near Danvers, Peabody, and Salem, MA.
Two models that have impressive towing and payload capabilities are the 2022 Toyota Tacoma and the 2022 Chevy Colorado. Looking closer at each one, our team here at Ira Toyota of Danvers found some aspects that differ between these two trucks that will have an effect on your daily driving experience. See what those differences are in this Toyota Tacoma vs. Chevy Colorado comparison.
Even with a larger truck-like body style, a midsize pickup provides some of the same handling and feel as a smaller vehicle. You’ll have even more confidence riding around in the 2022 Toyota Tacoma with its standard suite of safety technologies.
With Toyota Safety Sense™ P, you gain the Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection that can identify what’s ahead. With Lane Departure Alert, this system steps in to help keep your pickup safely within the lines of the road. While these features are available in the 2022 Colorado, none of them is standard for the base trim level.
With either of these trucks, you gain a vehicle that’s useful as a daily commuter even when you don’t need its towing ability. After all, they each have a variety of amenities that offer a comfortable ride to work, the store, or for the duration of your next road trip.
They each have available power-adjustable seats with lumbar support, with up to a 10-way adjustment in the Tacoma and 6-way adjustment in the Colorado. You can also choose to get the available heated front seats in both trucks that you’ll appreciate when the cold hits.
No matter what the weather, though, these trucks can keep the internal temperature to your liking at all times. Just set the automatic climate control system to your ideal temperature and the 2022 Chevy Colorado will keep it there throughout your commute.
The Toyota Tacoma offers more individual control over the temperature in the cabin with its available front dual zone automatic climate control system. This system lets you and your front-seat passenger set different temperatures, so you don’t have to worry about one of you being too cold or too warm.
While they each have two bed options of nearly identical lengths, there are some differences in their designs. First, the bed of the 2022 Tacoma is ready to handle all the elements and any tough job since it’s built from Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC) that’s extremely durable.
The Toyota Tacoma also comes standard with adjustable tie-down cleats, which let you securely keep bikes or furniture in place while driving. Cargo tie-downs are only available in higher trim levels of the Chevy Colorado.
You can also get a cover for the tailgate with either truck to keep items safe and protected from harsh weather. The cover is available with the base trim level of the 2022 Tacoma. However, you’ll have to opt for a higher trim level of the 2022 Colorado if you want the security and protection of a bed cover.
While both pickups lead the way in the midsize truck class, it’s the 2022 Tacoma that offers more useful features for a safe, convenient, and comfortable drive.
