Battle of the Mid-Size Brawn: The 2020 Chevy Colorado vs. Ford Ranger
There is a plethora of mid-sized pickup trucks for you to choose from in AMORY, MS. So how do you know you are selecting the one that is best for you? Since its introduction in 2004, the Colorado has been a standout in exceptional performance, towing, hauling, and passenger and cargo space. It’s genuinely the truck that works hard but plays harder. Check out how the 2020 Colorado fares against its toughest and longest-standing rival, the 2020 Ford Ranger; we think you’ll agree that it is the mid-sized pickup that can do it all.
The Seating Stack Up
We are not going to waste any time getting into the detailed comparison, so sit back, grab a drink, and see why the Chevy Colorado is the truck made for you! The 2020 Chevrolet Colorado comfortably seats from two to five passengers, depending on which chassis you choose to go with and your choice of, crew cab or extended crew cab. The 2020 Ford Ranger will seat four to five regardless of the chassis you select, with; the only two choices being the SuperCab or the SuperCrew. Looking at the numbers, you might immediately think the Ranger seats more on average, but that isn’t the case. With more options for seating and space, the Colorado seats the same maximum number of passengers as the Ranger.
The Tow of the Truck
The Colorado offers four dynamic engine options ranging from a 2.8-liter Duramax Turbo-Diesel I4 with 181 horsepower to a 3.6-liter V6 with 308 horsepower. The Ranger only offers one engine option across all trim levels, offering a mere 270 horsepower. If you are looking at adding a pickup to your vehicle lineup, towing is a feature that will be important to you. The Ranger tops out at 7,500 pounds of towing capacity while the Colorado tows 7,700 pounds, exceeding the Ford Rangers that by 200 additional pounds.
The 2020 Colorado also comes standard with a six-speed manual transmission in all base trim levels, which makes it the go-to for hauling heavier loads. The all-important EPA has the Colorado once again dominating the mid-size truck market. Enjoy 30 MPG on the highway in the Chevrolet, while the Ranger maxes out at 26 MPG on the highway.
Stand Apart Safety
We know passenger safety is a top priority, especially if you have a young passenger. Both trucks, the Colorado and the Ranger, have child safety locks that help prevent children from opening the rear doors. The most significant difference is that the Colorado offers drivers the ability to activate and deactivate the child safety lock from the driver’s seat. The Ranger’s child safety locks have to be manually switched on inside each door panel.
Another additional safety feature that the Chevrolet Colorado has implemented in its trucks is a simple reminder to check the backseat before exiting the vehicle. This feature was added after we saw an increase in infants and young children being accidentally left in vehicles.
The 2020 Colorado and Ranger both have an impressive array of driver safety features including: standard driver and passenger front airbags, daytime running lights, side-impact head airbags, front side-impact airbags, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, lane departure warning, collision warning systems, and many more.
