Why should I also consider these? X

The 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac fits in Ford’s truck lineup right above the aging Ford Ranger and below the new F-150, so it competes with the four-door variants from compact and mid-size pickup segments.

The editors at TheCarConnection.com aren't too fond of the Chevrolet Colorado and its twin, the GMC Canyon.

Their five-cylinder engines never had the power or refinement to endear themselves to our experts.

GM’s other entry, the HUMMER H3T has superior off-road capability and an available V-8, but its cargo bed is on the smaller side.

The Dodge Dakota was updated in 2008, and its longer traditional steel bed might be an advantage for some buyers.

The Nissan and Toyota mid-size trucks are not earth-shattering in terms of performance or versatility, but they are worth a look, as they provide nearly even competition to the 2009 Ford Explorer Sport Trac in most every area of consideration.

Honda's Ridgeline is an interesting alternative.

Its car-based design gives a better ride and handling than the Sport Trac, as well as a nimbler feel overall, but lacks the Ford's heavy-duty capabilities for hauling, towing, and off-roading.
