Mid-size pickup trucks are in the midst of a major resurgence.
The longstanding Toyota Tacoma and Nissan Frontier have been usurped by fresher models with more convenience features and better performance.
The Frontier's often discounted, however, and the Tacoma has Toyota's sterling resale values in its favor.
The GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado are the same trucks under the skin and they were the first to reemerge a few years ago.
Both are starting to show some age in terms of their limited active safety gear, but they make a strong case for themselves.
The Ford Ranger returns for 2019 with a turbo-4 engine that promises good performance and impressive fuel economy.
