GM's New Midsize Pickups Clock In for Work

摘要

Driving the new 2015 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon small pickups reveals that General Motors has put to good use its three years away from this segment. These models have grown substantially in every direction, making them 5.5 in. taller, 6.7 in. wider and 20 in. longer than before. One upside is that they can finally be considered midsize pickups, enabling them to stand toe-to-toe with their remaining rivals: the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier and Honda Ridgeline. GM addresses the commercial-pickup users' needs with practical base models and useful options, including a speedy 4G LTE Wi-Fi hot spot, perfect for contractors on the go. With details like fully boxed, high-strength, steel-frame rails, these haulers are now solid enough to be taken seriously as work trucks.
