Rate  It
TMV® Dealer Retail: $8,225 - $15,568
Pros: Versatile size, fuel-efficient engine lineup, available side curtain airbags and locking differential, standard ABS.
Cons: Not much low-end torque, no six- or eight-cylinder engine option, low tow ratings, subpar build and materials quality.
What Edmunds.com says: It has the features and the looks necessary to become the dominant truck in the compact class, but next to the all-new pickups from Dodge, Nissan and Toyota, the Colorado comes up short in power, interior room and overall fit and finish.

Pros: Quick folding convertible hardtop, street rod style, aggressive exhaust note, comfortable seats.

TMV® Dealer Retail: $9,807 - $15,421 Editor's Most Wanted
Pros: Strong engine lineup, choice of part-time or full-time four-wheel drive, comfortable and refined interior, nimble handling.
Cons: No long bed or single cab models, club cab's backseat offers barely passable comfort for adults.
What Edmunds.com says: Refinement appears to be the magic word at Dodge these days, and it shows in the all-new 2005 Dodge Dakota. Excellent powertrain options, nimble suspension and a well thought-out interior score major points, but the aggressive styling isn't for everyone.
