Chevrolet Colorado vs Ford Ranger vs Toyota Tacoma

2022 CHEVROLET COLORADO

The Chevrolet Colorado pickup truck ensures you never have to compromise when it comes to performance by delivering an optimal combination of power, efficiency and trailering. Additionally, an available suite of driver-centric technologies helps you stay connected with available built-in 4G-LTE W-Fi, Apple CarPlay & Android Auto, and Chevrolet Infotainment.

But how does the Chevrolet Colorado compare against its closest rivals from Ford & Toyota? In a few key areas, pretty well.

The Chevrolet Colorado is available with two engines instead of just one like the Ranger & Tacoma. The optional 2.8L Duramax Turbo-Diesel produces much more torque than the 2.3L EcoBoost & V6 found in the Ranger & Tacoma respectively. Furthermore, the diesel engine can return better fuel economy and allows the Colorado to have more max towing capability.

In side the cab, the Chevy Colorado has more front headroom, front legroom, and rear legroom than the other two. What's more, the Colorado is the only mid-size pickup truck to offer a heated steering wheel among the three.

However, it's not a home run for the Chevrolet Colorado because a lot of the safety features that are either standard or available on the other trucks, are not available on the Chevrolet Colorado. As well, the Colorado does not have the best-in-class payload figure. That honor goes to the Ranger.
