Today’s pickup market is, more or less, divided into small (compact), medium (mid-size), and large (full-size) options. Those full-sized options have been around for ages, and include the Ford F-150 and Toyota Tundra. Mid-size models include the Honda Ridgeline and Nissan Frontier, and when it comes to compacts, you’ve got just two pickup options: the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Maverick – though more are on the way. That’s because shoppers don’t like paying for capability they don’t need, especially when it comes to fueling up. Let’s look at how today’s compact pickup options take much of the modern-day truck experience and bring it to a lower price point, with lower ownership costs along the way.
