This size/class of truck is a very handy truck indeed. I have a '06 Frontier that I bought new. Daily driver, I use it around the horse farm when at home, and I use it to pull my small ( 19' funfinder ) travel trailer on average 6 months a year.
Honestly, this size truck would likely be a better fit for many of of the buyers of F150 class trucks, considering they way many use them. I suppose the "smaller" trucks just don't have the same macho appeal though, so we'll probably continue to see rather lackluster sales in the class.
I like the looks of the Colo/Canyon, but the deal stopper for me is they don't build them with a manual transmission with the V6. The Frontier and Tacoma still have manual 6 speeds available.
