Thank you for the thorough "walk through". In comparing the Ranger Lariat with the Colorado Z71, how did you find the solidity and build quality? Many Thanks. Kindly, Graham.
I disagree with you about the shifter. The one in the Lariat reminds me of the quirky over-engineered joystick gear selector that BMW uses. I prefer the taller gear selector in the XLT.
And tows 7,500 pounds. I laugh when someone says "you don't need the V6" - even though the V6 increases torque by a third, as well as an extra 45hp. When you are towing up a mountain road about 8,000-10,000 feet, it's cold and wet and don't have the V6, you are going to regret it for a long time.
That brake hold sucks! I hate that crap even when you disable it it still kind of does it. It will get you in a wreck, because when you go to pull out and the vehicle hesitates due to the hold and it is a situation of where you need to do it quickly. I know some people are saying well you're one of those that pull out in front of people but that is not at all it. I am someone who when they pull out I try not to infringe on the driver at all. I am speaking like at a red light where you are turning and you start to go but when you press the gas pedal and there is a delay because of the hold then lurches forward which then throws off timing . Very uncomfortable feeling and I raced growing up and nothing is worse when you don't have confidence in your vehicle.
@JB Reviews: My next vehicle i want to upgrade is this one & I like that color also. I just wanted to grt an idea on the price of one.I want the 4WD in it.
Wow! You missed a bunch of information. You need to explain all the variables, not just your biased opinion. You said always get the off-road package, but did not mention that it changes the ride quality of the truck and it makes the truck heavier, which drops fuel economy. The camera work is very jerky and difficult to watch.
