Out of the six trucks to make Motor Trend’s Truck of the Year finalists chart, four of them are produced by General Motor — the Chevrolet Colorado, Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Canyon, and GMC Sierra 1500.
Granted, there’s technically only 2 different trucks here — the Colorado/Canyon and the Silverado/Sierra, but they were built so well that Motor Trend just had to add the GMC counterparts to the list. And rightfully so, since the Colorado/Canyon is a great midsize pickup truck that does what it does with style and efficiency.
What’s not to love in new Colorado? It looks great, it gets 27 miles per gallon while hauling 500 pounds in the bed, it has great in-vehicle connectivity and it is the only one in the midsize truck segment to offer a diesel engine. Moreover, the fellas at Motor Trend seem to be quite fond of the 2.8L Duramax found under the hoods of the Colorado Diesel and Canyon Diesel.
Meanwhile, the larger brothers of the Colorado/Canyon — the Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra — are noted for their sharp, modern looks that were updated for 2016 as well as versatile capabilities.
So, with that we’d ask, which truck makes the top of your list? Speak to us in the comment section below.

Any of the four should win, but I would choose the Colorado.
I’ll the second the Colorado!
Duramax Colorado, or Canyon if you like it’s style and it’s higher interior trim level!
Colorado. Hands down. When I pay my car off I’ll more than likely look into a base Colorado with the manual.
Good job gm now let’s see a half ton diesel
toyota is TRASH
I apologize for my late response. I am pleased for GM, in their placement, in the Annual honors…But, I am saddened, for the buyers, and disapointed in GM, for the heavily Reduced Warranty from 5/100,000 to 5/60,000 and the Change in the 2 year/24 month Service Agreement, both of which, have Not been Advertised…
