While a majority of the most popular pickup trucks are in the next section, the midsize truck has certainly increased in popularity over the past decade or so. Models like the Toyota Tacoma, Nissan Frontier, Honda Ridgeline, Chevy Colorado, Ford Ranger and others belonging to the segment, they're the perfect type of truck for shoppers looking to get a pickup who don't need all the capabilities that come with a light-duty truck.

When you think of a pickup truck, you're probably picturing a light-duty truck. These are the types of trucks that almost everyone has heard of, including some of the biggest names in the game - like the Ford F-150, RAM 1500 and Chevy Silverado. There are plenty of other light-duty trucks too, like the Toyota Tundra, Nissan Titan, GMC Sierra and others, but those are definitely the big three. They all deliver optimal performance & capabilities.

When your traditional light-duty pickup truck isn't even enough to get done the hard work you need to get done, enter the heavy-duty trucks. These are bigger models built with even more durability and capability in mind. Most of these models include higher numbered versions of their light-duty models, such as the F-250 and F-350, RAM 2500 and 3500, and Silverado 2500HD and 3500HD. They're some of the most capable vehicles on the market.
