GM’s twins haven’t kept pace with hybrid, electric, and crossover-based pickups.

The redesigned 2022 Frontier takes an overdue step forward, with good standard features but limited configurations.
The aging Tacoma might be timeless with how good it performs at everything it intends to do, and the outdated Ranger might face competition in Ford’s family from the smaller Maverick hybrid.
