Chevrolet Colorado And Ford Ranger’s Alternates Spotted

The small pickup trucks clearly are on the verge of disappearing from US auto market, especially considering the fact that not many major entries have been made in this segment (Suzuki Equator was the last imposing entry we remember). If you look around US truck market, you will find that maximum part of the market has been dominated by full size pickups, and not many of the buyers are keen on buying a small pickup truck. This is why when we came to know about the Ford Ranger prototypes being tested abroad we were sure that they are not slated for US market. Especially because in outer markets small trucks do well, but the conditions is totally vice versa here in States.

So What’s New Now?

Yes, we are sure you would have asked this question after going through above stanza. So, here is the big news, our auto spies have reported spotting not only the (supposed) replacements of Ford Ranger, but also of a small GM pickup. The GM pickup is expected of being the stand-ins for the GMC Canyon twins and Chevrolet Colorado. Our auto spies also reported that, both the replacements that they saw were comparatively bigger than the top-dog Silverado and F-150.

What To Expect?

All that said there still is a dilemma regarding what future has in the store for these pickups. But considering the fact that GM and Ford, both are testing there mini-pickup trucks in and around their corresponding headquarters situated in southeast Michigan, we think that these replacements can well be intended for US markets. Ford has frequently spoken of a comparatively smaller F-100-style F-150 to replace the Ranger, and there also has been reports suggesting that GM also is working on a new truck to optimistically revive the success story of original GMC Sonoma and Chevy S10.

So if we go by all these reports suggesting the spotting of all new replacements for Chevy’s Colorado and Ford’s Ranger, then there certainly is a lot to look forward in the near future in the small Pickup segment of US market. And who knows it can very well be the rejuvenation of US’s dying small pickup truck market.
