The previous generation Frontier AKA Navara was considered ancient ten years ago, but its new, third generation, was developed with the North American buyer in mind and is expected to mend the reputation of the model.

The current generation Isuzu D-Max was introduced back in 2019, and it has already made its way to many international markets, including the UK and Australia. The model is closely related to the MU-X SUV and starting from 2020, it also lends its underpinning to the Mazda BT-50 truck.

2021 Hyundai Santa Cruz is the brand’s first pickup truck, that has unibody construction and shares underpinnings with the new Tucson.

Through the years Toyota Hilux has gained the reputation of invincibility, but after the latest facelift its credentials also include a more advanced technological package and a handsome front.

For those fans of GM trucks who are shopping in the affordable segment, we decided to feature the recently refreshed Chevy Colorado. Its lineup includes 3 body styles and 4 trims, from the entry-level WT, the mid-ground LT and Z71, to the off-road ready ZR2.

07:32 Fiat Toro

Though you probably have not heard about it, Fiat actually has a pick-truck in its range since 2016. This year, the Fiat Toro gets a comprehensive refresh, both under the hood and inside the cabin.

08:43 Mitsubishi L200 Triton and Triton Sport

Though not sold in the US, Mitsubishi L200 is definitely a compelling affordable pickup truck for the developing countries. It was refreshed in 2020 with a new front fascia and a revised set of trims.

09:46 Ford Ranger

While the fully-loaded Ranger nears a 50k margin, most customers can easily get away with the entry-level version of the truck, that costs almost 2 times less. Like the rest of the North American range, the bas Ford Ranger offers 8.4 inches of ground clearance and packs a turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder.

10:45 Ssang Yong Musso

Offered in 2 sizes, this Sourth Korean pickup tries to put up a good fight in the segment, with revised exterior design, decent utility skills, and unmatched 7-years unlimited warranty. The regular SsangYong Musso is good for 1738lbs of payload, while the extended wheelbase, Grand offers to carry 2,255 lbs.

11:51 Toyota Tacoma

Tacoma’s solid reliability rating, great resale value and handsome looks continuously earn it America’s best-selling mid-size pickup. Manufactured in Mexico and the US, the model gets 6 trim levels starting with the SR and going up to the off-road focused TRD Pro.

  1. man I must be getting old… but I thought pickups where, work 1st type tools.. every one of the the CARS that are shown here, are not Pickups.. sorry can you haul a fridge are a washer and/or/together dryer … let a alone a sheet of plywood/lumber… sorry they ae nothing more than SUV's that look like a pickup truck!!!

  2. I would say in 2021 more people buy trucks not for the use of the truck bed but for how much passenger that can hold especially in something like a Toyota Tundra Crewmax it's basically almost the SUV with the truck bed how big the cabins basis. There's two types of people that truck people who get a truck for the hauling stuff and work purposes and then the other person. Who gets it for the ability to hold a lot of people but also they should bring back the small body pickup trucks like the small body. Ford Ranger small body Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan hardbody there's still a market for those trucks I think

  3. Why didn't you include standard cab and extended cab models?
    It would have been more informative, if you had include the base model international trucks like the VW and Ram models.
    You missed your purpose by a mile.
    Maverick is being touted as the least cost truck in base model…this isn't true by a wide margin. We just aren't aloud to buy them.
    No free trade for American customers.

  4. WIll used trucks be going on the market when gas shoots up over $4/gallon?
    The way things be going, soon filling up the tank will be equal if not more than monthly payments.

  5. I believe the Maverick will be a huge success for Ford. Good to see smaller trucks starting to make a come back. No doubt they have their uses.

  6. Wish Ford Maverick, Fiat Toro, Mitsubishi Triton were launched in India. When it comes to pickup trucks, the choices are very limited in India. Only a few expensive models are being sold.

  7. The Santa Cruz is nice but way too expensive for its size/category. I was expecting a much lower price for the high end limited model. How much more if they come out with a hybrid model which surely will be far more expensive.

  8. Just shows how the U.S. is getting ripped off by the government in taxes, the dealers jacking up the price and the manufacturers not bringing trucks to the U.S. market because of protectionism in the form of tariffs and taxes.

  9. I love the Ford's. The Fiat Toro Front Clip is Kool also. The only reason I love Ford's is all these trucks took Ford's design of the Ranger and Maverick. Just used a different front end to call it their Truck.

  10. Ford Maverick looks nice but i wish the rear seats could be removable so the truck bed could be extended if needed. Nice video, thank you! 🙂

  11. The number of pickup truck sold annually is constantly growing but besides this tendency, many consumers have noticed that the price for this type of vehicles is growing too. Are there any affordable models out there though? We have done a complete analysis of the American and international markets to answer this question. Which of these trucks is your favorite?
