I really liked the Taco, Canyon was cheaper, but with no significant down payment the Toyota's 5.59% interest rate added $5k to the cost over 60 months ($4k over 48 months).
Ended up getting the Canyon $13k cheaper OTD with Employee Pricing and at 0% financing I saved $18k total compared to the Taco.
