Sorry for the lack of journals guys, finals have been kickin my butt. HOWEVER, I have a good news article:
http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2011/1.....l-pickups.html
http://www.motortrend.com/features/....._pickup_truck/
It's a really good comprehensive on small pick ups, since I own a Colorado, it sparked my interest. I find it interesting that Ford and Chrysler have decided to end their small pickup line yet Chevrolet has decided to keep with the segment. Both Ford and Chrysler have stated that they will not make a new small pickup after discontinuing the Ranger and Dakota. Funny enough, today is the LAST day the Ranger will be built and Ford releases a statement about not having an interest in making anything else.

The dropping of the small trucks is to boost the sales of the larger ones. All the compacts make the same mpg as the larger ones.
For those looking at Toyota's, stop. They are over priced and so are the parts.
The Colorado is a midsize truck like the late Dakota
