When it comes to midsize trucks, the Toyota Tacoma has long been a default choice—but the 2024 Chevy Colorado is here to rewrite the rules. Priced at $31,900 (compared to the Tacoma's $35,590 base price), the Colorado delivers superior capability, modern tech, and a sharper value proposition. Here's why Cape Cod drivers are choosing the Colorado over the Tacoma at Copeland Chevrolet Hyannis.
Power and Towing: No Contest
The Colorado flexes a turbocharged 2.7L engine with 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque—dwarfing the Tacoma's 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet. This translates to real-world advantages:
- Max Towing: 7,700 pounds (Colorado) vs. 6,500 pounds (Tacoma). Haul boats, campers, or landscaping gear through Bourne, MA, with confidence.
- Payload: 1,580 pounds vs. 1,440 pounds. Load more gear for trips to Onset Beach or Swan Pond River.
- Torque Advantage: The Colorado's turbo engine delivers peak torque at just 1,500 RPM, ideal for low-end grunt on hills or sand.
Modern Tech, Not Yesterday's Features
Toyota's Tacoma lags behind the Colorado's cutting-edge cabin:
- Infotainment: Colorado's standard 11.3-inch touchscreen outclasses the Tacoma's eight-inch display. Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto come standard (Tacoma requires wired).
- Digital Gauge Cluster: Available 12.3-inch display (Colorado) vs. Tacoma's analog dials.
- Safety: Both include adaptive cruise and lane-keep assist, but Colorado adds adaptive ride control for smoother towing around Barnstable, MA.
Pricing That Puts Money Back in Your Pocket
With a starting price of $3,690 lower than the Tacoma, the Colorado frees up budget for upgrades. Even better, Copeland Chevrolet's VIP Program amplifies your savings:
- Priority Service Scheduling: Skip the line for maintenance.
- Exclusive Discounts: Save on parts, accessories, and future purchases.
- Free Multi-Point Inspections: Ensure your truck stays adventure-ready near Dennis, MA.
Off-Road Dominance
While the Tacoma TRD Pro caters to off-roaders, the Colorado's ZR2 trim ($48,300) sets a higher bar with:
- Multimatic DSSV shocks: Baja-proven dampers for brutal trails.
- Front/Rear Lockers: Conquer axle-twisting terrain the Tacoma can't.
- 3.5-inch lift and 33-inch tires: More clearance than the Tacoma's 2.5-inch lift.
Even base Colorado models include an Autotrac transfer case (Tacoma's is optional), making 4WD more accessible.
Warranty Peace of Mind
Chevy backs the Colorado with a 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage—both longer than Toyota's 3-year/36,000-mile comprehensive warranty.
