Being inherently tough and versatile, yet undeniably compact, not many can resist the allure of pickup trucks. Moreover, they have increasingly been perceived as a family vehicle. This has led the top pickups of 2019 to become worldwide bestsellers overall.

While not a lot of manufacturers make trucks, ones that do, offer a wide range of features, capabilities, and sizes. Whether or not you are aware of the various nuances of buying a truck, selecting the right one is always difficult. Some of the things that you need to know about pickup trucks include payload limits, axle ratios, and the difference between fifth-wheel and conventional towing.

Midsize trucks are much smaller compared to the usual full-size pickups and have lower towing and payload limits. However, they have higher maneuverability, especially in parking lots and crowded urban centers. Most importantly, they have a cheaper buying price and maintenance costs. Here are the top midsize 2019 trucks:

1. 2019 Honda Ridgeline
The Ridgeline is more comfortable to ride in compared to other cars in its class. Part of this can be credited to its spacious cabin capable of seating four adults. One of its unique storage features is a dual-action tailgate that can open to the side or down. It also includes an under-bed trunk with a built-in drain. You can use it either to stow valuables or as a makeshift beverage cooler.

• Starting price: $30,705
• Mileage: 21-22 miles per gallon
• Maximum Towing limit: 5,000 lbs
• Maximum payload limit: 1,580 lbs
• Horsepower: 280 hp
• Bed length: 5.3 feet

2. Jeep Gladiator
The newest addition to the 2019 trucks is the Jeep Gladiator. It is quite similar to a Wrangler in terms of interiors, but it has a longer wheelbase. This wheelbase fits a 5-foot long bed at the rear. The Gladiator offers exceptional off-road performance as a result of its seven-slat grille. Every version of this 2019 truck comes with a standard four-wheel drive. Additionally, if you want a pickup truck for off-road use, the Rubicon model comes with all-terrain tires, electronic sway-bar disconnect, and Fox monotube shocks. Even if you choose any other version of the Jeep Gladiator, it will impress you with its powerful V6 engine, high towing capacity, and rugged yet roomy cabin.

3. 2019 Chevrolet Colorado
The 2019 Colorado is among the best trucks in its category. It offers a powerful V6 engine with standard Android Auto or Apple CarPlay™ integration. If you want to go rock-crawling, the ZR2 version of the truck is more suited to you. On the other hand, if you are just looking for an affordable toy-hauler, the Colorado boasts the only diesel engine in the segment. It also has the highest towing capacity in its class.
