Mini Pickup Trucks

There are 11 compact and not-so-compact pickup truck nameplates in the U.S. for the 2008 model year, and all are featured on MSN Autos. Base manufacturer's suggested retail prices range from approximately $14,000 for an entry-level Ford Ranger with regular cab and two-wheel drive, to more than $35,000 for a top-of-the-line Honda Ridgeline RTL with four-wheel drive.

Buyers of the "less-than-full-size" diesel trucks get considerable payload and towing capacity—up to 1,720 and 7,160 pounds, respectively. But they generally pay lower prices than buyers of comparably equipped, large trucks.

Some benefits of these smaller trucks are the same as for larger trucks. Compact and midsize trucks ride higher off the pavement than do cars, so drivers and passengers tend to enjoy good views out of their vehicles. Owners have easygoing cargo space in their pickup beds that they can spray down and clean with hoses. And these smaller trucks—smaller being a relative term here—can be more nimble and easier to park than their larger brethren.
