Polar's Ranger is a POS.

Good looking little truck. A friend has had his for 2 years and likes it a lot. No problems so far.

With the Dakota out of production it is about the best small truck that is on the market.

I like these






Slap a turbo diesel in them and give them some butt to haul a boat, and I'd strongly consider one

Yeah, if you like supporting countries that attacked America, go ahead and buy a ricer.

Sorry I've always been a yota fan, please present these facts. Pretty sure you're being biased, just like me.

My dad has one with 175k on it an 2007. Only issues he's had is the exhaust manifold cracked and they are some $$$$! We put an aftermarket header on it which he hates. But the fumes were making him crazier then he already is

They like their gas for being a mini truck. I have 2 single cabs for guys at work. Had them for 2 years, bought used. One has 35k and the other 45k miles. No major problems so far.

While the Taco's have been a great truck, side-by-side comparison says that the new Colorado is ahead.

I believe that they are going to be placing a 2.8L Duramax Diesel in them as well if not already.

I think the Chevy is the Colorado, the GMC is the Canyon. I personally think the Canyons look better.

The Canyon with the Duramax is a bad *** little truck.

For Toyota to compete, don't be surprised to see a Yota with a Cummins diesel soon in the 'Merican market.

They made a few with a V-8 that might be interesting.

My 2004 Colorado has 340K miles still running good, only major fix has been a transmission rebuild at around 200K miles.

Those Canyon diesels start around 36k. Seems like a lot for a mid size truck. You could get a Tacoma for 25k, drive it for 3 years and sell if for 23900.

I think the Tacoma is a no brainer, not because they're great trucks, because the resale value is just stupid.

Major Wader

Can't imagine the resale value, as they have a known issue with frame corrosion.

My friend's truck is at the toyota dealer now getting a frame replacement, completely paid for by toyota.

If you go to South America they are everywhere with a diesel and they run and last forever. I think the 2.8 Duramax is a different motor though for more giddyup in the US.

Same in the middle east. Drove diesel LUV tricks and Rangers every day. Fun trucks

Yup, I was in a major accident with a 2004 with 120K last year, thought for sure they would total it, they ended up fixing the repairs with a sum of 11K.

That's insane. I don't know how they do it with those Tacomas, they start off costing less than the Tundras, but their resale is higher after about 5 years. I've test drove them, and there was nothing super special about the Tacomas. People just like them I guess. I don't know if the reactor meltdown back in Japan caused their operation to shut down production or not back a few years ago, maybe that had something to do with it.

I have an 05 Colorado with the 5 cylinder I purchased for my company travel in the area.No problems at all (aside from an oak branch falling on it providing a few dents)Decent gas mileage and with the 4 door,enough room inside for all my paperwork and tools.Right at 150,000 miles right now and occasionally pull a 12'utility trailer with no issues.
