Zr2! Having lockers all around is a big deal for me.

[steverupert]

I have owned both the ZR2 and the Tacoma, and I liked them both. Have to confess I liked my old Off-Road Tacoma more than my old ZR2, but the tides have turned. The new ZR2 is a perfect blend of comfort and off-road capability in a much nicer exterior package. 💯

Like the extra storage room in the Taco but love the interior of my canyon AT4X. Also no matter how you look at it, time and time again lockers are superior to Atrac

The ZR2 took this segment to the next level several years ago and I still haven’t found a reason to look beyond it. Amazingly capable right from the factory.

Both excellent trucks. I chose the '23 Colorado ZR2 and VERY pleased with it both on and off road. SOLID.

I just picked up a 2023 ZR2 and love it so far. Wife is a big truck girl too and she loved it the from the moment we went to go check it out. Super comfortable and just looks beautiful however i haven't had a chance to hit the trails YET but cant wait. Super happy with my purchase

[downhillgroovy]

Out of all of these new trucks chevy and gmc really know what's up. They look great compared to other brands

[seankadar]

As a multiple Chevy owner I can attest they look awesome. However if you want a truck that will not keep you in the shop buy a Toyota. Period. End of discussion.

Digging the Colorado ZR2.
Wow the ZR2 trim has come a long way since the days of the old S10 platform!

[vinhd]

Only thing I’m disappointed in is No Rear AC/Heat Vents. When you take your family on a trip. The back passengers should to be comfortable too. You shouldn’t have to blast the front AC/Heat for back passengers to be comfortable

I was set on looking into a 2023 canyon at4 but this tacoma trail hunter with all its features made me switch real quick

[AmericanZ]

ZR2 the all around clear winner. Its a superior truck

[ryannewazada]

Aloha Gentlemen. This is an excellent and comprehensive video analysis for the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 and the Toyota Tacoma Trailhunter. Great job guys.

[danieljohnson]

I like both trucks. The Toyota has some unique features and will undoubtedly have excellent reliability and resale value. Nonetheless, I would probably purchase the ZR2 for its (likely) superior off-road capability and interior design.

[cantley]

Wait what?! Sway bar disconnect? That's awesome! 😎

[ohwespicy]

Man if they kept the features like headlights on the analog side, I’d definitely take the zr2 but I’ve seen too many software issues that might be problematic when you actually need the truck

[frhawk]

It’s only fair that if you have the Tacoma Pathfinder you should compare it to the ZR2 Bison while y’all should compare the ZR2 with the TRD and the Raptor.
Otherwise great video!!

I would love a trailhunter 6ft bed, no snorkel or Bed Rack so I can put a camper on it and not feel like I wasted money on that Bed Rack. As for the tires, Toyota has commented previously that the tires they choose are for NVH and to avoid negative reviews in the first 6 months of ownership and that off-roaders will but the tires they like to use anyways regardless of which truck they buy. The only thing that bums me out on the Tacoma is the lack of rear air conditioning for my dogs. I won’t be getting a new truck until next year so I’ll be checking out the entire segment before making a decision

[navydoc]

ZR2 Bison would be a better comparison vehicle for the TRD Trailhunter.
TRD Pro vs ZR2
TRD Off Road vs Z71

Toyota all day. Its simply going to be way more reliable, especially on the trail. Can't knock the Zr2 at all though. Its nice looking and very capable. Just would put my money on something that is not going to leave me stranded, or cost on repairing later on. I have a 07 tacoma that has almost 300k on it, and you're not going to believe this, but ive had to repair nothing NOTHING. It stil has the original bilstein stock shocks. Simply amazing. It does upset me that Toyota wont go crazy like the Ford Ranger raptor, or something, but i understand they are in it for reliability.
