The Colorado Z71 Duramax was the Chevy product in the evaluation. The Colorado was close to the Tacoma in every evaluation criteria. However, it tied the Toyota in the "Empirical" evaluation (meaning spec sheet). Colorado beat the Tacoma in the "Mechanical" section and also the "Interior" section. The two were tied in the "Exterior" voting. The Toyota won the "Ride and Drive" and "4-Wheel Attributes" sections. Because it won't ruin the story for you and since it is at the very start of the story, we will leave yo with this longish quote form the Petersen's report: "The minutia that helped the Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road eke out a win over a potent and effective Chevy Colorado Z71 with a 2.8L Duramax Diesel are hard to determine, but what certainly didn’t hurt were the Tacoma’s cost (relative to competitors), potent and effective manual rear locker, finely tuned suspension, and complex yet very effective electronic Crawl Control. This truck excelled in almost every aspect of our test, proving capable in all of our off-road testing environments, always clawing forward, and only stopping after the bar set by other contenders." You can view the Petersen's story right here. Note: Images are not from the testing.
