The midsize truck segment has significantly heated up recently, with nearly all of the manufacturers in this segment having redesigned their midsize truck lines in the last two years. No sooner had MotorTrend named Colorado their “2024 Truck of the Year,” Toyota revealed its total redesign of the Tacoma, the segment’s best-seller. The publication quickly…
The Corvette Z06 was MotorTrend’s 2023 Performance Car of the Year (PCOTY). Normally, when the magazine names an “of the Year” vehicle, they keep a press car for several months to a year to see how their winner is to live with.
