The Tacoma feels stable and easier to place than its predecessor, with controlled body movement; steering feedback remains filtered and off-road tires soften response.

Accurate steering and excellent bump control give the Colorado a polished road character; high off-road trims add mass and tire squirm but retain confidence.

The redesigned driving position and ride are better than before, but seat comfort remains polarizing and off-road trims can feel busy on broken pavement.

Strong ride isolation helps the Colorado, but the flat, firm front cushions divide owners and aggressive off-road trims add noise and motion.

Front occupants get useful adjustment, but the Double Cab rear bench loses the contest for adult legroom and cabin storage is only average for a midsize truck.

The crew cab is workable for four adults and front space is good, but rear legroom, storage and passenger-seat adjustment do not lead the class.

The optional 14-inch screen is crisp and feature-rich, but the base display is less impressive and owner reports of slow starts or connectivity glitches reduce the stability mark.

A large standard screen, Google built-in and useful cameras give the Colorado excellent hardware; recurring black screens and software oddities are a meaningful stability penalty.
