Motor Trend 2015 Truck of the Year

The new Colorado will be a strong seller. Many people (including me) would prefer to not drive a full size pickup as a daily driver because the size is very large. I know, I know, the price is nearly the same as a full size truck and the fuel economy is not much better than a full size truck. But, the size is important for ease of driving every day. Ford and Chrysler should offer something in this class. Toyota has owned this class for a long time with an old offering mostly because the other automakers abandoned it (well, Nissan is still there). Full size pickups have grown in size in recent years. I read somewhere that this new Colorado is about the same size as a Ford F150 from the 1980's.
