The Car Connection's Take

TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2021 Chevy Colorado’s many configurations give shoppers the kind of choice typically reserved for full-size trucks, but Chevy skimps on safety features. The 2021 Honda Ridgeline is the just-right pickup most users really need. The 2021 Toyota Tacoma wears its age like a badge of honor.
