2015 GMC Canyon Crowned Victor In Cars.com Midsize Pickup Challenge - GM Authority (blog)
The GMC Canyon/Colorado twins were neglected in favor of their full-size siblings, and Toyota and Nissan become default choices for those not wanting the larger of trucks. com recently put the four major contenders in the segment to the test, which included the 2015 Chevrolet Colorado , 2015 GMC Canyon, 2015 Toyota Tacoma and 2015 Nissan Frontier. “The last time we tested this segment was in 2012 when there were seven midsize pickup trucks, and now just four remain,” said Mark Williams, Cars. com ‘s Pickup Truck Expert. While the segment has shrunk, we think there’s going to be a resurgence as indicated by two brand-new entries from General Motors and booming pickup truck sales. The trucks were tested not only on their off-road capabilities (each truck sported its optional four-wheel drive off-road packages ), but as livable, compelling packages for those not seeking trails. The trucks were tested on a true off-road course before enduring 200 miles of varying road conditions, where real-world fuel economy was also taken into account. Finally, real pickup truck buyers hopped behind the wheel to provide their thoughts on each entrant. Source: gmauthority.com
