Edmunds Top Rated Truck 2024

2024 Chevrolet Colorado

Among midsize pickup trucks, the Chevy Colorado is the best tool for the job
January 24th, 2024

Why did the Chevrolet Colorado win?

The midsize truck market has been blessed with a host of new contenders in the past year, but none has stood out more than the Chevrolet Colorado. The Chevrolet Colorado is one of the best pickup trucks currently on sale — and we aren't just talking about the midsize class. Compared to any new truck, the Colorado is competitive, and its recent clean-sheet redesign brings this pickup to the forefront of the truck segment. The Colorado is easy to drive on-road and can be a total off-road brute, all the while coddling its passengers with plenty of creature comforts and offering enough payload and towing capacity to haul life's largest accessories.

"Nearly every new midsize truck is redesigned or updated. Impressively, the Chevrolet Colorado is the most improved of the bunch. The fantastic new interior, strong engine and sleek design make it the new benchmark." — Clint Simone, senior editor

What stood out?

The new Colorado is so appealing because it's great to drive and easy to live with. Chevy's midsizer has a robust suite of infotainment tech and advanced driving aids, and it offers a host of trim levels to suit a plethora of different needs. There's even dedicated off-road warriors that practically beg to be muddied up.

Beyond that, the Colorado's interior is comfortable and functional, with a smart mix of soft-touch and durable materials to help it pull double duty as a hard-working pickup and daily driver. Simply put, the new Colorado wins the Edmunds Top Rated Truck award for 2024 because it offers a truly complete package and raises the bar for midsize pickups.

Edmunds Top Rated Truck Finalists
FINALIST

2024 Honda Ridgeline

Why is the Honda Ridgeline a finalist?

The Honda Ridgeline offers a fantastic mix of daily-driving comfort and utility. It doesn't make any of the usual pickup truck compromises and is able to blend an excellent ride quality with everyday usability and lots of clever storage solutions. The Ridgeline is far easier to drive than other midsize trucks, with more accurate and car-like steering and handling characteristics.

What stood out?

The Ridgeline is just so versatile. It's nimble enough to function as a useful everyday runabout and just rugged enough — especially in TrailSport trim — to help you explore the great outdoors.

FINALIST

2024 Toyota Tacoma

Why is the Tacoma finalist?

The new Toyota Tacoma is a major upgrade over its predecessor. This truck's plethora of trim levels means there's a Tacoma for just about everyone, and with Toyota's proven reliability and longevity, it's a truck that'll likely last a lifetime.

What stood out?

The V6 that powered the old Tacoma won't be missed. The raft of 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engines and their varying outputs proved more than enough to suit our needs during testing. Towing and hauling can't quite match class leaders, but the Tacoma's new rear suspension design does wonders for the ride and handling. Its more intuitive and tech-forward interior only bolsters its usability, livability and jack-of-all-trades potential.
