| The Car Connection's Take | |||
| TCC Rating | |||
|
|
|
|
|
| TCC’s Bottom Line | |||
| The 2015 Chevy Colorado asks the question: is not-full-size big enough? For many of us, that's a "yes." | The 2015 Nissan Frontier is one of your best bets if you don't quite need a full-size pickup, but maneuverability and functionality are high on your priority list. | The Toyota Tacoma doesn't make a lot of sense, unless it'll live almost exclusively off-road. | |
