Best midsize seller remains Toyota Tacoma with Chevy Colorado the worst and with Frontier only one slot above the bottom of midsizers. Frontier suffered the worst sales drop of all types at 63.1%. Practical and inexpensive li'l Ford Ranger had the least sales drop, down 18.5%. Data from pickuptrucks.com .

also says F-series thats a lot of trucks, I know around here a lot of places are getting new F-350s as fleet trucks, also part of why the ranger and Colorado sell well 2, dont see many toys or nissans in fleets

Technically the worst selling midsize is the Dakota, as it isnt even in the top 10.
A very good point. I think read that Dakota will be dropped in 2011 and I guess that'll kill it's Mitsubishi clone too. I also read that 'Ram' will become a brand and that whatever truck-like vehicles are sold by Chrysler or Dodge will soon be sold soley under the Ram brand. Kinda strange wasting marketing time and money on that, like rearranging deck chairs while the ship is sinking. Jeep will remain intact as is I guess.

ironically, having a Dodge Ram is quite a status symbol in many countries around the world. Funny how that works, eh? We want German cars and they want American trucks. I can see the logic behind the branding.

I just thought of another brand that's missing from the above list -- the Honda Ridgeline. I'm guessing that like the Dakota, it's sales are so low that it's not on the radar screen.
