| The Car Connection's Take | |||
| TCC Rating | |||
|
|
|
|
|
| TCC’s Bottom Line | |||
| The 2016 Chevy Colorado is the answer for drivers who don't quite need a full-size truck. | The 2016 Nissan Frontier is an aging mid-size truck that's still attractive and useful, but in some ways outpointed by its new GM rivals. | The 2016 Toyota Tacoma steps up its act in all the ways that attracted current Tacoma owners to their trucks, but few that will pull in a new guard. | |
