Not mentioned: the Ranger's rear seat back folds down in a single piece, and doesn't fold flat. So no passengers if you need to fold it. The Colorado's is a 60-40 split, so you can carry cargo and passengers at the same time.

BigBossIvan Do you think front bench seats will return? I remember my dad had a 04 Escape and I got to drive it too. It had a column shifter and open room for the knees. Got rid of it because of rust and my mom complaining. I wish we still had it. Now we have a new Escape. I like the first gen one better because of the column shifter.

I work at a Ford dealership and have driven many Rangers, and I just bought a new Colorado Z71 last fall. This comparison is pretty much spot on with what I think of them. The Ranger seats are way more comfortable, I like the torque from the EcoBoost and its nicely mated to the 10-speed, the SYNC 3 system is great to use, but man the ride/handling on that thing is so bad, it kind of reminds me of my bro's old Cutlass Ciera (which I hated). The Colorado rides/handles great for a truck, feels nimble and planted, I strongly prefer the interior layout, I kind of like the styling better, and honestly I do like the V6, I think it'll age better than the turbocharged EcoBoost. Glad I went with the Chevy overall. Also I took that ridiculous air dam off and installed some proper skid plates underneath the front, I'm consistently averaging 25-26 mpg driving mostly on 40-50 mph backroads.

I have a 16' Colorado with about 51k on it same v6 engine. Life time fuel economy I have is 23.5 and that is prob a 60/40 highway to city driving.

Bought a 19 ranger xlt. Loving it so far! I loved that it came with a lot of standard safety features that the other mid size trucks charge extra for. And the 2.3 EcoBoost is awesome! It definitely does the job. Hopefully ford will somehow add the 2.7 EcoBoost down the road. It handles awesome too! Price wasn’t bad either. With rebates the dealer had it at $25,101.

I have the 2021 Ranger and i can say without doubt, I prefer it over the Chevy. At 70 MPH I average 22 MPG both on the panel and hand checked. At 2K miles now, I am getting up to 24 in town. I do agree with your assessment of the Climate controls being small, but those controls are not primary, primary controls are on the screen. The wife commented how smooth the truck was and not bouncy. My F250 was bouncy without a load. The seats are much more comfortable than the Chevy. I also agree with the brakes sponginess, took me awhile to get used to it. I would have gone with the Chevy, but i have more respect for myself than that. I think at the end of the day , it all boils down to if you want a truck to carry stuff like tools and small farm equipment in the ford or you want to carry Flower bouquets in the back of the chevy.

I wanted to know if the Ranger had an awd option like the chev. Can it turn on pavement in 4 hi without binding. The Tacoma cant but the Chev can?

@spyder000069

3 жыл бұрын

As far as I know they don't have an awd system. However, I have a '07 f150 4x4 with limited slip rearend and it will bind while trying to turn in 4wd so I know what you are talking about. I also have a '19 F250 4x4 and it doesn't seem to do it as much if at all. The difference is the newer truck has an electronic locker so under normal 4wd the rear is still an open differential. It only locks the rear when you engage it. I believe you will still have some binding from front to rear but its reduced because of that. Also another difference is if its slick out my F150 will slide the rear out on you even in 4wd because the rear locks up easy. I don't let my wife drive the truck because of this. However, with the selectable locker on the f250 and it being an open diff it will spin one of the tires but is less likely for the rear end to slide out to the side. The rangers are an open diff on base models and offer electronic rear locker. Safer option in my opinion.

I have gotten an average of 23.7 mpg over the last over 8,000 miles in my Colorado Z71! With the air dam removed and OEM ZR2 style skids installed. Not bad!

So far I love the turbo charged I4 engine very responsive and it has the start/stop technology which lends to decent city driving fuel economy.

I don't know what went on with this guy's fuel numbers... unless he was leaning on the thing way hard, there's no way it should have that high fuel consumption.

I figured it would do FAR BETTER because in our last truck-comparison test (here's a link in case you haven't seen it yet: kzread.info/dash/bejne/iJx1rtmiadC1o7Q.html #ShamelessPlug, LOL) where we pitted the F-150 with the 2.7-liter twin-turbo V6 against a Silverado 1500, the Ford's fuel economy was quite good and right in line with what the onboard computer said the vehicle was delivering. Of course, towing a maxed-out trailer up a mountain might have been a different story. I think something was wrong with the gas pump or filler neck on the truck, which allowed it to take an extra half gallon of fuel. Something was up because the fuel-economy readout in the Ranger was nearly 20 percent off and I can't imagine they're THAT inaccurate. Anyway, thanks for watching and commenting! - Craig

is the Lariat the only 4x4 within the ranger trim levels?

I drove a Colorado about a year ago and was very impressed. I like to drive my trucks for a very long time and according to what I read, turbocharged engines tend to wear faster. So I would definitely go with a 6 cylinder naturally aspirated engine. On the flip side, the V6 Colorado is mated to the 8 speed that had issues. They say they “fixed” the problem by changing the fluid, but I need a better explanation than that. I haven’t been able to find info on 8 speed transmission issues on the 2020s so perhaps they have it under control. Perhaps the reason they haven’t announced a fix is because of the class action lawsuit. If they fixed it there must have been a problem... Wish they’d just sell it with the 6 speed. I hear the Chevys have a lot of electronics issues, but I can handle that. I just can’t purchase a vehicle if I have doubts about the transmission. Does anyone have info on the transmission issue? How about the 4 cylinder Colorado? It has the 6 speed.

@aliasfakename8076

Жыл бұрын

Late but for anyone who sees this. From what ive gathered online and asking a dealership, when the 8 speed was introduced for 2015, they used the wrong fluid from the factory. It absorbed moisture from the trans vent too fast and the change in viscosity caused issues. The TSB was to flush the fluid and replace it with a different one. They seem to have figured this out by 2017, as the complaints online fell off drastically, but the tsb still applies for all 2015+ years with the 8 speed. Ive read forums where people say you can walk into a gm dealer and say you have trans shudder (it has to be shudder cause thats what the tsb is for, not rough shifting) and theyll flush your trans no questions asked. Did all this research before buying my 2019 colorado and havent had any trans issues yet at 42k miles.

I rented a 2019 Colorado for a day and drove it 300 miles. My only complaint was that the screen would dim when I was backing up, rendering the backup camera useless. Otherwise I was quite impressed.

Full economy for mid sizes are about the same as the full sizes ? I’m confused

My Ranger gets 4mpg more than my brothers ecoboost F150. He drives like an old man and my truck is lifted with bigger tires and I spend way too much time in sport mode lol.

I have the Colorado and I have basically the same interior as you test and I can say those are my biggest gripes about the interior. I should have really tested the wireless charger because it's absolutely to small to fit the majority of phones in and the seats aren't comfortable, even considering i have upgraded interior... All in all it's a nice looking interior with some big flaws. I should have just bought a base 4x4 model, I'd have been happier.

My neighbor, who is in construction, has a GMC Canyon and loves it. He only cruises in it, though, but says he loves it.

Good review except for the water test. I think you could drive down the road in the same vehicle multiple times and each time get a different result.

I own a 2019 Base model Ford Ranger. My brakes are not spongy, my truck does not roll and it stops great. My 0-60 is 6.8 seconds. So something is wrong with your testing

I can relate to wireless charging pad. Most chevys are getting slight smaller pads now

The Sysco bit at the end was hilarious. I work for Ventura foods and I know all to well how much Sysco is sold worldwide. Lmao

I wish they would have reviewed the diesel, I have a 2019 Colorado diesel and average 31 to 32 mpg highway, 26 around town, and it can tow 7700lbs, and the torque, my God! Also the suspension on the non Zr2, and midnight editions is less aggressive leading to a better overall ride. I would like a bit more room in the back seat.

I've had my 2018 Colorado for 1.5 years and I smile every time I drive it and look at it when I get out. Drives as easy as a car, looks like a badass sporty truck, and the V6 can allow me to fly by whoever I want if I need to. The Ranger's headlights are too small. Looks like a car someone rigged into a truck. It's still fairly attractive, but from many angles it looks funky as hell lol. I think Chevy's designs, while bizarre, have grown on my substantially. The new Silverado and HD were shocking at first, but I really like them now. The new Sierra though is my personal favorite new truck 😍.

It's not quite true... if you load up either the Colorado or Ranger with options they get very pricey. I've priced the base and lower end models out where I live and you can still save thousands on buying the smaller truck. If you want a loaded Crew Cab lariat, then yes, the price difference will be small (or maybe nothing). The fuel economy difference between full sized half tons and midsized (!) trucks has never been significant. I got just as good mileage out of a 5.3 with cylinder deactivation & six speed auto on the highway as I could out of a 5cyl Canyon I borrowed years ago.

How much different is the GMC Canyon/Denali than the Colorado?

i thought that Sysco bit was way funnier than most considering i manage one of its facilities lol

I really appreciate the integrated brake controller in my Colorado, which wasn't even an option on the Ranger. Even were it not for the computer integration (I've used aftermarket "dumb" controllers in other vehicles for many years without incident), which is nice, I'd still appreciate it for being contained within the dash. In a vehicle that isn't a full sized truck or van, it's hard to find a place to mount an aftermarket controller that won't cause me to bang my knee, or that obstructs access to/is obstructed by something else.

You should consider a RedArc Brake Controller. Just a small dial mounts anyplace on the dash and the rest is tucked up under the dash. Everything is out of the way, out of sight. It has worked for me without any issues on my 2018 GMC Canyon. It was a little more money but well worth it in my opion. It really does offer a clean unobstructing install.

I have an '18 Canyon and it's just okay. I like the mileage but the front seats leave something to be desired on longer trips and twisty back roads. They are hard and flat like you mentioned and also the seat bottoms are noticeably shorter than most other cars leaving very little thigh support especially for those of us with longer legs.

I have owned 2 Ford Rangers and currently the Chevy Colorado. The Chevy rides great and gets superb fuel mileage. However, I am one of many that have suffered the dreaded A8 Transmission Shudder problem. Have had the transmission fluid changed 3 times which is a temporary fix good for a couple of thousand miles. Chevy will not replace the Torque Converter Clutch. I am an unhappy owner and would advise others to use caution.

It's good point. If you get weird numbers like that (and I think there probably was something wrong with their seat of the pants calculation... after all, the on board computer mileage uses the same data the engine management system uses to calculate fuel/air mixture...) you should really do the test a few more times to establish a trend. If the real world mileage is that much different from indicated it's not a story, it's a scandal. As noted above, if you have a turbo engine you have to stay OUT of the throttle to get good fuel economy. If you are a lead foot, just buy the V6 or V8 and be done with it.
