Default Toyota X-runner?

What's the deal with the x-runner? I saw one the other day and have heard they handle very good so what's the story behind them?

The truck was a medium blue and looked pretty good IMHO.

Pulls skidpad numbers in the 350z range....has the big v6 and 6 sp stick. TRD makes some bolt on pieces for it (like a supercharger). Its a sweet truck, sorry bowtie brigade, but the colorado is waaaaaaay outclassed on this one.

Not hard to do, the Colorado is junk IMO.

See I dont think the Colorado is junk...had it been introduced 5 years ago it would be a class leader, but the real problem is that it can't touch anything in its class. Okay its better than a Ranger, but aside from its cheap price (post rebate/discounts) how can Chevy put this thing out in the market and claim it can compete with a Dakota, Tacoma, or Frontier? Its laughable and its a shame since the small truck segment is gonna be pushed to the forefront as gas prices increase.

As a truck it can't tow or haul very much, and it's barely big enough to sit two people across, much less three. In an attempt to do both things, it doesn't haul either people or stuff around very well. Because of these reasons, I see it as a failure...but I am always looking at the function of something, not if it's "cute" or whatever other reasons people have for buying something.

My friend had three Rangers before he got his 4.8L RCSB, and they were great trucks....the Colorado would have to be really good to outshine them.
