We’ve already compared the Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road, Ford Ranger FX4, and Chevy Colorado Z71 on the road, so it’s now time to put all three to the test on the dirt. Now, while they’re still plenty capable, these aren’t the dedicated off-road trims - stay tuned for a TRD Pro vs. Raptor vs. ZR2 test - but rather the more approachable and wallet-friendly midgrade models. So, which one will take home the off-road trophy? Find out with Edmunds’ Emme Hall in this midsize truck off-road comparison test!

Are these trucks off-road-y enough for you, or would you spend extra bucks for a ZR2, Raptor or TRD Pro? Let us know in the comments!

Colorado ZR2 $46K in my area. Z71: $38K. Taco TRD Offroad: $43K. Toyota prices are out of control. The ZR2 is hugely more capable for $3k more.

The Nissan frontier right now is almost like what the Tacoma used to be. That’s basically the only option left if you want a V6 engine.

@beexiong2995 8 дней назад

@@KNRS927 the frontier is also has the least technological truck. It's basically the same truck from 2005. The traction system, steering, safety is all outdated. Nissan didn't really update it enough to compete and the price shows. It's the cheapest midsize truck

@KNRS927 8 дней назад

@@beexiong2995 Nissan basically copied the Toyota formula when they redesigned it because they saw how popular the 4runner and Tacoma were despite both being ancient. Only thing is Nissan doesn’t have the rep Toyota has so the price and simplicity get people.

The width of the rangers' bed instantly makes it more useful as a truck. When the 6cyl becomes available, that should further extend its superiority over the other options. As far as trucks that do truck things, I'll pick the Ranger.

I'm not too surprised that the Colorado won the sprint portion of this comparison. The chassis is designed to do that, granted it's more for the ZR2. Because most of that version actually competes in races.

@ms1406 8 дней назад

@Goose_Lord 8 дней назад

Great testing, fun to see them all swuare off. In Canada the ZR2 version of the chevy is comparable in price to the ranger Lariat and the Tacomo TRD offroad premium. No doubt the ZR2 would crush this particular competition with rear AND front lockers, 33" MT tires, and optional full underbody cameras.

@chrisb9478 8 дней назад

I’ll probably go with a Tacoma Trd OR next year. The GM 8 speed trans problems/class action lawsuit scare me, and the Ford has plastic oil and transmission pans & plastic oil drain plug. I like the Tacoma rear coil suspension & rear underseat storage set up.

@border411 4 дня назад

Was going to go with a 2024 TRD OR, but they are having way too many issues... Especially now with the transmission's having to be replaced, and an over 2month wait to do so. Toyota is not what it used to be. I'm leaning towards the Ford or Nissan Pro-4x

@chrisb9478 4 дня назад

@@border411 I’d say the Frontier is the safest bet right now.

@KNRS927 8 дней назад

I think Colorado wins this for me. It’s probably the most well-rounded midsize truck, has a trim for everyone of every demographic, has pretty nice engine power and tech, and is the best value for the money now.

@4rr44E 8 дней назад

Once again they omit the Frontier Pro-4X, arguably the best value proposition in the midsize segment.

@chrischris9370 8 дней назад

Meanwhile the Nissan Frontier will still be running while these are all scrap. I’m very wary of the new Taco, hopefully it is as reliable as the older models. The ford and chev are depreciating boat anchors.

@dj_laundry_list 8 дней назад

One would think GM would ditch the automatic locker after 20+ years of sucking. I found the best technique was to carry a little bit of speed and stay on the gas a little bit when a wheel started to slip, so that when the locker kicked in, I was still moving forward and didn't need to suddenly get on the gas once it hooked up. Got me up some gnarly stuff... but why make it so annoying?

@lgbnz 3 дня назад

Tacoma OR's competitor is the Chevy Colorado ZR2, price-wise and purpose-wise. Z71 is more comparable to TRD Sport purpose-wise, SR5 price-wise.

@danielcobb8886 3 дня назад

@AGamingMuffin 8 дней назад

Hey Edmunds, on your Colorado, can you check the bumper fitment near the headlights by the black fascia? Many Colorados seem to have paint chipping in those areas due to poor panel fitment, and GM is refusing to cover it under warranty for many people. Just wanted to see if you have a similar issue on your long-term Colorado. Thank you!

@MrHand-ih4sz 5 дней назад

@AGamingMuffin got the ZR2, no Bison package. I've heard RU-vidrs complaining about where the plastic front fender flares meet the nose of the truck...there is about an 1/8th inch gap there. I do have that, but don't see it as being a problem. I think fit and finish is really good overall.

@AGamingMuffin 5 дней назад

@@MrHand-ih4sz nice nice. I have heard that with the ZR2. You have a different style front bumper compared to the Z71 and LT, so I don’t think you’d find the same paint issues. Besides the paint, it’s been a great truck.

@MrHand-ih4sz 5 дней назад

@AGamingMuffin Yessir. Only 10K miles so far, but it's alot of fun. I've had three 5.3 Silverados before this, so I was a bit skeptical about the 4 banger, but it accelerates harder than they do and runs great. Shitty gas mileage, but I knew that going in.

@SSS-mp8th 8 дней назад

Honest question for you off-road truck or SUV people. I love the way off-road spec'd trucks, broncos, etc look but the prices for the higher trims on most of these sorts of vehicles are easily over $50k (not these 3 specifically). Seems like if you had access to that sort of terrain, you'd just use any normal truck or SUV and carry a dirt bike. I mean any $5k-$8k bike will put all of these to shame and then you have your normal car/truck at a cheaper price? I mean it's a truck, slap a bike or ATV in the back.
