With the Colorado now on sale, its only direct competition comes from within the building: the GMC Canyon is nearly an identical twin, has slightly higher payload and towing ratings, and to us, looks a little sharper from the front.
Then, there are the two grizzled veterans of the mid-size truck segment, the Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier.
The Tacoma's truly outdated now, with a cramped cabin and a less rigid body structure than the Nissan.
The Frontier offers better cab space and a more comfortable interior than the Tacoma, and we prefer its V-6 engine to the Tacoma's too, though neither have refinement or ride quality in their corner.

The 2015 Chevy Colorado asks the question: is not-full-size big enough? For many of us, that's a "yes." |
The 2015 GMC Canyon won't replace a full-size pickup in our garage, but reminds us why mid-sizers are a good alternative for drivers that covet utility over ultimate payload and towing numbers. |
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. |
