Colorado or Canyon 5 cyl

I don't about the power, but the rear drum brakes on the Colorados 'stink'. I service some of the local NAPA trucks (2wd 4cyl), and they have been having problems with the rears locking-up when cold. They also sound like they are metal-to-metal, yet they are just glazed. A TSB by GM advised to use a dremel-type tool & cut-off every-other tooth on the auto adjuster. I've never heard of that before!! I'm not sure I would trust them pulling a trailer. Just my 2 cents (keep the change)

My last truck was a 1988 GMC 3500. 5.7L 3 speed manual.
every single morning when I went to stop, the rear drums locked up something furious! It probably woke up all the neighbors!
everything was is excellent working order...but thats just the way it was. Granted that truck was made 21 years ago....technology has come a ways..

The NAPA trucks are '08. Thinking back, my dad's chevys would lock-up when cold. I'm not a big GM fan. None of my Fords (from a '83 Ranger to a '97 F250HD) have ever had this problem.

On further thought you should look at the frontier 6cyl. Had an 06 crew cab that towed great, plenty of power and stopping was never a problem. The back seat's not great for long trips, makes you kind of sit erect, the front's were fine though, so it never bothered me.

the frontier is a decent little truck.
The Tacoma isnt bad either, but its too small IMO

I really like the new Tundra's with the 5.7L
