Chevrolet Colorado Is Motor Trend's 2015 Truck of the Year Surprised? Don't be. The Bowtie has made the "perfect-sized truck." What was good for Texas was good for pickups. So full-size pickups got bigger, and midsize trucks began to vanish. Gone were the Ford Ranger, the Dodge Dakota, and, most recently, the GMC Canyon and Chevy Colorado. But three years after disappearing, the Colorado returns, completely redone in more manageable bite-sized proportions compared to those full-sized Texan trucks. The Colorado may not be the biggest pickup in contention for the 2015 Motor Trend Truck of the Year, but it turns out to be the best in more of our judging categories than anything else. "The Colorado to me is the perfect-size truck again," said Kim Reynolds. "Its simplicity and purity are what a truck ought to be about."
