Engine Options
Ford Ranger® models are available with two exciting engines that include a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® that produces 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque, or an available 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6 with 315 horsepower and 400 pound-feet of torque. And for those seeking a thrilling experience, the Ford Ranger® Raptor® delivers a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine that produces 405 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. In comparison, Chevrolet Colorado WT and LT models come with a lackluster 2.7-liter Turbo engine that produces 237 horsepower and 259 pound-feet of torque, while all other trims receive a 2.7-liter TurboMax engine that produces 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
Working Performance
Everybody knows that stellar towing and payload performance is critical for trade workers, outdoor enthusiasts, and business owners. While the Chevrolet Colorado has a competitive maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds with only its 2.7-liter TurboMax engine, the Ford Ranger® offers a maximum towing capacity of up to 7,500 pounds no matter which engine you choose. Plus, the Ford Ranger® delivers up to 1,805 pounds of maximum payload capacity, while the Chevrolet Colorado only offers up to 1,684 pounds of payload capacity.
Interior Design
Ford Ranger® trucks deliver a standard SuperCrew® cabin that seats five passengers comfortably and highlights a fold-flat second row and available secure under-seat storage for additional cargo capacity. While the Chevrolet Colorado models also have under-seat storage and seating for up to five passengers, the second row does not fold flat, limiting versatility when you need a flat area inside the cabin. And when you need to find the perfect seating position, the Ranger® LARIAT® and Raptor® come standard with a memory driver's seat, while the Colorado Z71 and ZR2 leave it as an option.
Technology
While all Chevrolet Colorado models come with an 11.3-inch infotainment screen that's larger than the 10.1-inch SYNC® 4A system in the Ranger®, the LARIAT® and Raptor® trims come with a 12.0-inch center stack touchscreen with physical controls located below. Plus, LARIAT® and Raptor® trims feature a 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster, while the Chevrolet Colorado only offers an 11.0-inch screen. And for those who like to crank up their favorite tunes, the Ford Ranger® is available with a 660-watt B&O® Sound System by Bang and Olufsen® that features ten speakers, while the Chevrolet Colorado only offers an available Bose® Premium Audio System with seven speakers.
Safety Features
Safety is a key component to building long-lasting vehicles that drivers can feel confident in, which is why the Ford Ranger® and Chevrolet Colorado offer incredible driver-assistance features. While the Chevrolet Colorado WT delivers more safety features than the Ranger® XL, Ford Ranger® XLT and higher trims come standard with BLIS® (Blind Spot Information System) with Cross-Traffic Alert and Trailer Tow Monitoring, which requires a separate package on Colorado trucks.
