It may be up for a redesign and it may be light on safety tech, but the Chevy Colorado is a suave, well-executed choice with a killer off-road version.
The Ford Ranger wins the spec sheet race, though there’s something missing in its execution.

A new Nissan Frontier is here! Finally! It’s a promising choice, though Nissan traditionally doesn’t offer as serious an off-road option as Toyota.
And unless you really plan to explore every weekend, the Honda Ridgeline probably does everything you need—with more comfort, more space inside, more flexibility, better fuel economy.
Just get a Ridgeline.
