2024 Ford Ranger vs 2024 Chevy Colorado Compared - Specs, Price, Features 

Thanks.. had more info for me than this one.

Tacoma in the US sells more than the other competitors combined. In AUS competition is much tighter

Ford=trust? Trust you are purchasing from the industry leader in recalls and warranty repairs.

Ranger lowest sales of taco,Colorado or Canyon

@@gordmonteath6090 Can none of you read?

Isn’t the hilux a Tacoma?

It’s valid issue with the Colorado that should be brought up

I never touch my light knob on my 2015 … why would that be a legit concern? I like that it’s harder to turn off the lights, I see way too many people driving around without lights on in the evening.

I haven't touched the head lamp switch in my 2019 Trailboss in 5 years.

I bought a new 2023 Canyon Denali. I found out it did not have front parking sensors, and the front camera did not automatically come on when I approached an object. I sold it after only 778 miles.

@@daveyoung5299 Given how important these features are to you, surprised you didn't research the features. Typically a 20% hit on value selling the truck as a used truck., maybe more.

I was there too and was kind of disappointed in the offerings, especially from Ford. They only had a new XLT. I was really hoping for a Ranger Raptor or at least a Lariat.

Exactly

Pretty sure if you check the spec sheet you will see the Ranger has more rear leg room

So true, hope they add ventilated seats, planet is getting hotter in summer!

@@evancontos2267 Good luck. The Ranger doesn't even have ac vents for the rear passengers. 😂

@@ofmyownaccordIt does. They're outstanding high volume on the dash board.

@@ofmyownaccordno one cares about air vents in the rear of a small truck 😂 my Tacoma doesn’t have them and I still freeze folks in the back out.

But that is going to get you into z71 territory minus the led lights.

@@robertopics xlt comes standard with full led lighting. The headlights just aren’t the “performance led projectors”. And maybe the fog lights aren’t led I’m not sure on that. Also, I don’t trust the new gm 4 cylinder, especially the high output version. That engine is being pushed too hard and gives worse or same mpg than either of the engines offered by ford in its high output variant. The 2.7 will easily be made into the best engine with simply an aftermarket tune. Those 2.7 ecoboosts can be tuned stock to 350+hp and 450+tq at the same time gaining better mpg. The Z71 is okay but for the way I built one out I will be wasting money on the ridiculous package bundles that have to have everything for the one option I want. It ended up at 49,700 for what I wanted, while the ranger ended at 46,700 and will probably be closer to 48,000-48,500 with the 2.7 when it’s available to spec into the build. Now if we start looking at the LT fully built out with all the led upgrades and everything, then it becomes more on par price wise at 48,200 for my wants. But at that price it wouldn’t be worth not going to the z71 for 1500 more. I wouldn’t get leather seats with the xlt, but I’ve never cared about seat material and seat covers exist. I’d like the trail boss but you can’t get an led lighting upgrade in any package so it would have to be done aftermarket which would be expensive

Agreed. For me the key in the ford at this price is another non starter

Agree on the power rear window. Ranger has it, Tacoma Has it. Not even Denali GM or any Chevy…they don’t have the power rear window

your right, 33's stock zr2 and 35's with the bison

Trying to get a 2024 Honda Ridgeline Black Edition in Radiant Red .

Put some high quality LED bulbs in them for $200.

@ryancunningham8472 That's a no go. They are Halogen lenses, they will never be as good as an properly designed LED lamp. That's just one part. No fog lamps, no heated seats or steering wheel. The full size Trailboss has an LT trim with lots of features. The Colorado Trailboss needs that too

Colorado also has COOLED SEATS option. GM cooled seats are nice.

With automatic headlights, do you really touch the switch anyways?

@@domin8ss Quite a bit when they don't turn on in certain scenarios. Sometimes in vehicles I've driven with the auto lights, sometimes during rain it isn't quite dark enough for them to turn on, while I may not need them to see, I like to have them on for other drivers to see me. Other times they take too long to turn on when going into tunnels or in parking garages. Just seems like the last thing they should have put behind a screen, especially for a truck.

It doesn’t look too difficult to switch them on and off. Sure a physical switch or dial would be preferred but it’s not a deal breaker in my mind. And if you anticipate it ahead of time you can just set the headlights to always be on so you don’t have to worry about turning them on or off. Also DI only isn’t a huge issue either as my current vehicle with that is 8 years old and still perfectly fine.

@@domin8ssIDK about these new gen trucks, but the auto beams on my Ranger are kinda shit. I override them a lot.

Nope.

Solid question and one I'm going to try to get answered at the media drive.

@@Pickuptrucktalk thank you. Maybe a mistake on their website.

Maybe on payload. I'd want to see real numbers before I say one way or another.

Gladiator has much more but it's a Gladiator lol

I bought a 23 Colorado ZR2 in January of this year and yeah the Blind spot indicators were seeing ghosts. Then, maybe 3-4 weeks after ownership they starting working correctly.

Don't feel bad. There are no Rangers or Tacomas in the lower 48 either.

Sometimes they set up the engines the same, sometimes not when they consider what they call the "duty cycle" of the customer. For example, they could change out some of the engine parts and tune the Ranger differently to be better at towing than the Bronco since they think more people will do that. Just hard to say.

But when? And how much?

10:47 How does the WT/LT overall height come in higher than the lifted trail boss and zr2?

@@spyder000069I'm thinking his spec sheet is incorrect. Actually, numerous specs Tim listed do not match the Chevy/Ford websites, wonder when they changed. Curb weight is off by 500lbs on the Chevy and the width is off on the Ford making the Ford wider than the Chevy.

@@Dusdaddy You're correct that the spec sheets are incorrect in the video. Another error I noticed was the base engine on the Colorado he has listed at 259 LB/FT of Torque at 5600 RPM. GM website has it at 260 LB/FT of torque at 1200-4000 RPM. Additionally Tim forgot to list the fuel economy numbers for base Colorado engine which are 20/25 (City/Highway) in 2WD and 19/23 with 4WD.

That's so strange to me. I literally copy and paste from the media website. I'm working on figuring out what's going on.

@@MistaAbYsSs As Tim pointed out, what they send to the media seems to differ. Maybe the media version was written much earlier? Tim has mpg for the Ranger, but the Ford site doesn't.

2.7 in the ranger will dick slap the Colorado.

@@freedomisntfree_44and your rear seat passengers can enjoy the heat or cold due to no rear vents. How did ford miss that?

@@freedomisntfree_44 2.7 Ranger only has 5 more hp but colorado has 30 ft/lbs torque. Why do you think the ranger has the edge? The numbers would tell me that the colorado would outperform the ranger once you put a 6000lb trailer behind them. Maybe even safer since the colorado has a larger wheelbase and width. I'm a ford guy and have owned a few old rangers, a f150, currently a f250, and have never owned a chevy truck. However, the specs on the colorado look pretty good and I do like the looks. Normally I would argue ford beng a higher quality but these pandemic/post pandemic years haven't been kind to ford with all their recalls. With that in mind it starts making sense to more seriously look at the new tacoma as well.

@@pnwdweler4100 I don’t care 😂 my taco don’t have them either. The trucks ain’t no limo. I’ll take the payload and towing over rear air 🤣

@@spyder000069 faster in the f150 as well. The 2.3 rangers are just as fast actually when you look at 0-60 times.

Didn't discuss the Raptor and ZR2 either. Can't cover them all in one video.

New gen, not facelift

Ford did it first

So, I had a Ford Bronco with plastic radiator end caps.

Lol, Ford is the king of plastic oil pans… So what’s your point?

GM's are all metal now, they switched around July.

@@Torch4Life Good GM switched back to metal. Plastic is a terrible idea for those parts, too much chance for leaking long term.

For Ranger? March.

@@Pickuptrucktalk thanks

I’m watching ur review as I comment 😊 rear hitch on Ranger is low. Drag it going off road up hit.

Gm twins have 2 many stand alone or package options. Forced to get 1 thing but not another!

Me neither!

And the Tacoma is a pickup truck?

For which truck? I have some comparisons of the Ridgeline on the website. The last one I did was with the Frontier. I need to turn that into a video. I'm just behind.

I was talking about the specs like you did with the Ranger and the Gm twins
