Thanks to GM’s introduction of its next-gen midsize pickups—the Chevy Colorado and GMC Canyon—the segment itself has gained extra attention from both customers and automakers alike: In fact, high demand here has led to a nice revision of the Toyota Tacoma, a commitment from Honda to continue its Ridgeline, and a likely new entry from Hyundai. On the other hand, that vehicle, a production version of the well-received Santa Cruz concept, would be a couple of years away from its debut, as is a next generation of the only other choice in this category right now, the Nissan Frontier. That’s the short story, but let’s take a closer look at the state of the segment today, so customers can help find the best midsize pickup to meet their needs.
