If you are in the market for a pickup truck, but you're not too keen about taking up a full-size footprint, then you might be looking for the perfect midsize truck.

Midsize trucks are the smallest type of pickup truck class currently sold in the United States. "Midsize" basically means "compact", but it just sounds better. After all, a compact truck kind of sounds like an oxymoron.

With slightly less powerful engines than their full-sized counterparts, they also provide reduced towing capacity. Despite these potential negatives, they are also more agile and better-suited for off-roading - this happens to be one of the most profitable and popular trends currently in the market.

After a short stint of abandoning the midsize truck production, manufacturers have since jumped back into the midsize market. Ford joined this year with the Ranger, while FCA produced the popular Jeep Gladiator. Since these latest developments, midsize trucks have since become a hot trend in the automotive industry.

I mean, just check out these sick pics of modified Chevy Colorados. Although the Ford Ranger is a potential choice for the top midsize truck, there are many reasons why you should choose the Chevy Colorado instead, like these 8 reasons we would buy it.

Let's go over our pick of the top midsize truck in 2020...

Chevrolet Colorado

Chevy was the first American manufacturer to go back to the midsize truck segment in 2015 with the new and modern Colorado. This model was a major hit that won the Motor Trend Truck of the Year award in both 2015 and 2016.

If you are looking for the midsize truck that can do it all with ease, then the 2020 Chevrolet Colorado is the choice for you. This truck is comfortable during normal driving due to the seat-track travel, allowing for space and ergonomic function for even the tallest of drivers.

Further, the Colorado also contains the highest towing rating out of all midsize trucks on the market, with a rating of 7,700 pounds when containing the optional 2.8-liter diesel 4-cylinder engine.

Power

Worried about power? Don't be. You already know it is a powerhouse at towing, but it also contains a 308 horsepower, 3.6-liter V6 engine, and a 6-speed automatic transmission. This combination can create a 7,000-pound tow rating for ample power, and is one of the sportiest powertrains on the market for midsize trucks. The second option available is the 2.8-liter diesel, which provides an impressive 369 pounds per foot of torque. If you are looking for a midsize truck but are working on a budget, there is also a 200 horsepower, 2.5-liter, 4 cylinder option that is much more affordable.

Interior

The interior of the Colorado has a simple layout, ample storage, and features an 8-inch touch screen with smartphone integration features for the savviest of iPhone or Android users. The only thing that we might see changed here is the lack of driver-assistance aids. However, you can still get forward-collision and lane-departure warnings, so the safety isn't completely lacking in terms of assistive technology.

Pricing

If you are in the market, the pricing for the Colorado starts at $22,395 on the low end for a 2WD extended cab. Crew cabs begin at almost $28,000, while the ZR2 test vehicle costs a lot more, coming in at around $46,000. Despite these three different pricing options, the most expensive still comes in underneath the Jeep Gladiator's price point.
