It’s difficult to put together a list of standout small and medium sized trucks without mentioning the Chevrolet Colorado. Despite still feeling relatively new, the Colorado has been around for two decades now.
The Colorado is a solid option for offroaders, especially if you splash out on the appropriately titled “Trail Boss” edition. Beyond its offroading prowess, general maneuverability is said to be good. Despite being a mid-sized truck, the Colorado is surprisingly spacious, with ample room for up to four adults in its cab. The advanced infotainment system also means the four adults will be thoroughly entertained on their way to their destination.
In terms of the negatives, the single bed version of the Colorado comes up a little short. While the standard 6 foot bed length isn’t something you usually want to compromise on, even with a “compact” or mid-sized truck, one version of the Colorado knocks a whole foot off coming in at 5 feet long. The styling is also hit or miss, and the driver assistance tools seem to struggle in urban areas. The 2021 Chevy Colorado starts at just over $31,000. So to sum it up, the Chevy Colorado is a well equipped mid-sized vehicle, for a mid-sized price point.
