Colorado vs Ranger: Power & Capability 

When it comes to what the 2020 Chevy Colorado and the 2020 Ford Ranger can do, they’re relatively evenly matched. When properly equipped, both models can tow more than 7,500 pounds of trailer weight and handle a payload capacity of more than 1,500 pounds.

Both models can also be equipped with an available all-wheel drive system. With all-wheel capability, you’ll get a better grip when you’re towing as well as off-road capability. Take the Colorado or the Ranger through the dirt, mud, and snow with confidence.

When equipped with its available Duramax® 2.8-liter Turbo-Diesel engine, the Colorado has a leg up on the Ranger in terms of efficiency. This engine is capable of achieving a best-in-class EPA-estimated 30 highway. With a lack of diesel engine option, the best you’ll get with the Ranger is an EPA-estimated 26 highway MPG.

Design Options of the Colorado & the Ranger 

Both the 2020 Chevy Colorado and the 2020 Ford Ranger offer a few different design options including two cab and two bed options as well as an extended box option. With this extended box option, both models provide around 50 total cubic feet of cargo space inside the bed.

The Chevy Colorado comes out on top when it comes to interior space, though. With the Colorado’s Crew Cab option, you’ll get 45 inches of front-seat legroom and 35.8 inches of rear-seat legroom. Compare this to the cramped dimensions of the Ranger: Even with the larger cab option, you’ll only get 43.1 inches of front-seat legroom and 34.5 inches of rear-seat legroom.

• On-the-go streaming & surfing with available built-in 4G LTE Wi-Fi® hotspot
• Forward collision & lane departure alert systems to help you prevent accidents

There are a few extra features you’ll get with the Colorado, though. For instance, this model can be equipped with a wireless charging pad so you can keep your devices juiced up for arrival. With the Ranger, you’ll need to remember to bring your charging cord along for every ride.
