The Honda Ridgeline is unique in its segment and easier to drive than any rival.
The Chevrolet Colorado and nearly identical GMC Canyon beat the rest of the competition in interior quality, refinement, and ride control, but they can’t match the Ridgeline in those respects.
They are more capable, though, and we like the GMC Canyon better because it is nicer inside and it offers full-time all-wheel drive, though we also like the Chevy's available diesel engine.
The Toyota Tacoma is a step down in interior quality and overall refinement but it continues to be the class’s best seller.
The Nissan Frontier is ancient, but it still has a strong V-6 and good space in its outdated cab.
