These mid-size trucks are getting so good that it's getting harder and harder to JUSTIFY the purchase of say an F150 or GMC/Chevy/RAM 1500 series! I prefer the GMC Canyon AT4x AEV edition that's coming out soon so it's a such a hard choice to make since most of the new ones in the mid-size segment are so good these days and even the lower-trim models are miles ahead of the older trucks!

And my Dad's truck DID NOT HAVE trailer control, auto-braking, traction control, GPS mapping and cameras of any sort! Andrey's truck is faaaaaaaaar better than even a truck from TEN YEARS AGO!

If you are on a budget but STILL want to buy a NEW truck, this is a good deal! When you have some spare cash, just upgrade the lower trims with some decent 3rd party parts to bring it up to Raptor-style off-road capability! In my opinion, almost any trim of the NEW Chevy Colorado or GMC Canyon mid-size trucks are TRULY WORTHY vehicles for people who can spend somewhere around $45,000 USD. V

Can't wait to see the content on that sweet-looking Jeep Liberty Jet trim level. I had a 2010 Liberty 4x4 and it handled Connecticut snowstorms and Winter weather like a Champ. I'd probably still have it now if it wasn't totaled in an accident by some idiot DUI doing over 100 mph that rear ended me.

The Colorado isn't my thing, but I have to give it props. This was impressive and a good indication of the 4cylinder ability. Of course if you tow frequently, you should probably get a bigger truck, but it's good to know it's max tow rating is completely viable if you need to use it.

Great test. There werent many comments on the trucks ability, but it looked like it handled the loan pretty well up and down the hill. Pretty impressive in those conditions.

I 100% agree with mandatory training for anyone who plans to tow heavy loads. Years ago an elderly couple form Kansas bought a big motor home and a large toy hauler trailer to tow behind. They found them at the bottom of a steep canyon on the western slope of the Bighorn mountains in Wyoming. They were both dead. The motor home was still in high gear and the trailer brakes were not hooked up properly. The brakes were totally gone on the new motor home.

That's a perfect situation for 4 hi, that's beyond the need of 4 auto. Auto waits for those back wheels to break loose before it engages the front end, as someone who has towed plenty in the snow, ditch 4 auto in those situations. Auto is great for around town, not towing a maxed out load up a steep grade in a sleet storm.

Andre, you deserve a raise at TFL! Roman, hope you're reading this!!!

Wow I had to change my underwear and I wasn’t even there! Good job guys! “Im glad it wasn’t my truck”!

I'm really impressed with the capability of this truck. I'm ready to get rid of my full size. This is definitely on my radar.

In the past few days here in Central Texas we had a hail storm I'm one county and 106 degree heat in another within 60 mile radius.

This video was great yall. I ordered the new Ranger Raptor and am super excited to get it. I have a couple of Shelby Raptors, a diesel f150 platty, a supercharged 2014 5.0 f150, and three Super Duty 6.7s, so it will be interesting to try a mid size for once, especially since I plan on putting a camper on the Ranger.

WOW! What a trip

Just a little informative reason why you may smell transmission fluid without there being a leak. I work in a Ford truck factory. Our 10 speed transmissions have a case vent tube to bleed off any pressure from a "non pressurized" area in the transmission. Similar to an axle vent tube on solid axle trucks. As long as it's not leaking/overheating, it's normal to smell a little sweet atf smell when pushing the limits.

This truck test was a true adventure!

A. You should have called off the test in that weather. B. That was NOT hail, it was groupel.

Pulling a 3800lb 22ft TT with our new Colorado TB. Tows it really easily, only complaint or curiosity is that it seems a bit bouncy.

Going to see what's up at dealer, but no noted issue. LOVE the auto light test when hooking trailer up too.

Pretty good for a 4 cylinder with turbo. It helps to run the AC or defroster so the 2nd fan runs.

Bro it was those temps all this week. Now the news saying it could be as hot as 110-115 degrees... My Accord can barely handle it!!

Colorado weather is the craziest weather I've ever experienced. In one 2 hour span I saw every type of weather. It started off about 90-95° then the temp dropped to what felt like freezing, enough to snow, sleet, hail, rain, thunder snow, blizzard conditions, thunder storms whatever you can think of. Then a few years later it hailed like that while I was out shopping. I watched helplessly as a woman's minivan got submerged with her in it. She'd gotten to the top of the van and they floated a raft to her eventually. Coupled with the fires and such and Colorado is a pretty hardy place to live.

With all respect.. I've driven my Uncle's Ranger and it's also a very nice and comfortable truck but it no where near has the power for/and for towing as a new Canyon/Colorado.

Raptor temps were fine as well.

15:59 His ‘basic’ truck has more features than a fully loaded truck from 2008.

Colorado did great! Happy with my Tundra TRD Pro, but honestly, the Colorado could do just about everything I need. I do occasionally need the larger cabin and tow capacity, but 9/10 I'm only towing motorcycles or my Corvette by myself with a rack and rooftop tent. The Colorado can do that.

6:46 Those large safety chain hooks right up against the hitch pin and clip would make me nervous. I'd have to find another solution or shove the clip all the way through to the loop that way the hook couldn't back the clip out.

Crazy video! Dont understand why you’d put it into 4lo and shut traction control off vs putting into tow haul and manual shift, and rely a bit more on the trailer brake.

Great content! I would love to see this same test with the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor (when you can get a test vehicle), as I am curious if the transmission would heat up similar to the Raptor R or not.

I regularly tow 7700lbs on my 2.2 diesel 2014 Ford Ranger 6 speed automatic on similar roads, though mostly paved. I wouldn’t use low range on that descent except on the very worse parts. Also in the hail, which I haven’t ever encountered while coming down that road type. In the UK only inertia brakes are allowed so I would be very nervous of those bends down hill. I’d make sure that there was a bit more nose weight to gain rear truck traction and avoid being pushed sideways. I should mention, before anyone else comments, that European Rangers are rated to carry 2350lbs and tow 7700lbs/3.5 metric tons.

Impressive!
