2025 Chevrolet Colorado vs 2025 Toyota Tacoma near in Lisle, IL
Midsize pickup trucks rank high in versatility, making them a popular vehicle in Lisle. People at the outset of their shopping experience for such a model will undoubtedly encounter the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado. To highlight its standout qualities, we at Bill Kay Chevrolet are going to compare this model to the 2025 Toyota Tacoma, ultimately revealing why the Chevy pickup has more to offer.
Exterior
The standard bed of the 2025 Colorado is five feet long on every trim level of the truck, but the Tacoma includes an available 5-ft. or 6-ft. storage area. However, the Colorado includes a total of 45.5 inches between the wheel wells compared to just 44.7 inches at the same portion of the Tacoma, so you’ll have a bit of extra space to help transport furniture. You’ll also find a greater level of versatility with the Chevrolet model, as it has an available StowFlex Tailgate that can help you store muddy shoes after soccer practice and is rated to hold 500 lb. The Toyota lacks that storage capability and the strength of its tailgate. While the Tacoma is a capable vehicle for going off the beaten track with its 10.8 inches of ground clearance, the Colorado holds the best-in-class record1 for that measure with 12.2 inches of space underneath the body.
Performance
When you peer under the hoods of these trucks to examine their source of vigor, you’ll quickly discover that the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado is the more powerful of the two non-hybrid variants. The 2025 Tacoma has two available all-gas engines, the stronger of which is an available i-FORCE 2.4L turbocharged 4-cylinder engine with an output of 278 horsepower and 317 lb.-ft. of torque. Creating force for the Colorado is a standard 2.7L TurboMax™ 4-cylinder engine that makes 310 horsepower and 410 lb.-ft. of torque to help you accelerate down I-88. Although both vehicles operate with a standard 8-speed automatic transmission, the Toyota does provide an optional 6-speed manual transmission for its customers. Still, Chevy pickup lets you put the powertrain to better use with its 7,700-lb. maximum towing capacity2, much higher than the Tacoma’s 6,500-lb. maximum towing rating3. Finally, we also have to consider that the Chevrolet has a 1,720-lb. maximum payload rating4, edging out the 1,705-lb. maximum payload rating5 for the Toyota, letting you bring more items along for the ride.
Technology
The size of the interior screens is where the Tacoma gains some ground, with an available 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster compared to the Chevy’s standard 11.0-inch diagonal color Driver Information Center. Yet, the 2025 Colorado has a standard 11.3-inch diagonal advanced color LCD display while the Toyota’s standard feature is an 8.0-inch multimedia display. Also, if you’re trying to back into a tough spot while hauling a trailer on the Benedictine University Campus for work, then the Chevrolet vehicle is the way to go. It features 10 available camera views6, including segment-first available underbody visual aids, to enable you to place the trailer where you need it. The Tacoma only has five cameras as part of its available 3D Multi-Terrain Monitor. These midsize pickup trucks do share some commonalities, like giving you standard wireless Apple CarPlay®7,8 and Android Auto™9,10 compatibility to link your smartphone to the vehicle. Overall, the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado comes equipped better for adventures and labor, and we would be delighted to show you our available stock during our business hours.
