I had a couple of Rangers and by far prefer smaller trucks for day to day driving. The Colorado is more modern and better looking of the Toyota and Nissan.
We'll just see if Ford's gamble to drop the Ranger is a good decision. They think the mass public will go ahead and buy the smaller trucks as they don't get appreciably less fuel mileage than their new generation full size 1/2 ton pickups.
I would think the Colorado would be an attractive substitution for a 1/2 ton truck for most owners.
These are not like the Global Midsizers, just like a Basic F150 is not similar to a F150HD, which is more like a basic F250.
I I do see GM reviving the U.S. midsize market with these above

Looks like Chevy may have got this one right.

I like compact/midsize pickups, I guess because that was my first vehicle at 16. So I hope GM sells a whole bunch of these things, and Ford (and Ram) bean counters get whacked for missing out on the market share. It's not what I predict, but it's what I hope!
