Compare the Ford Rangerto the Chevy Colorado and Honda Ridgeline
Sometimes, bigger isn't always better. When it comes to pickup trucks, a light-duty midsize option often offers all the towing, hauling, and capability you need for projects around your home. With the Ford lineup, that means getting behind the wheel of the Ford Ranger. With impressive capability, a durable frame, and plenty of Ford innovation, there's no truck quite like the new Ranger.
No lineup is without its competition, and the Ford Ranger doesn't stand alone at the top. Models like the Chevy Colorado and Honda Ridgeline offer plenty of features that might make you wonder what puts them over the new Ranger. At Ciocca Ford of Souderton, we're here to assure you that the Ford pickup holds its own against competitors from Honda and Chevrolet. Explore the comparisons below, and see how the Ranger stacks up!
Ford Ranger vs. Chevy Colorado
When it comes to performance, you want your truck to feel like it's up to the task no matter what life throws at you. While the Ranger keeps things simple with one engine option, the Chevy Colorado likes to complicate your options with a few different powertrain choices. However, the Colorado truck can't quite compare to the Ranger's lone engine - a 2.3-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder that delivers 270 horsepower and a class-best 310 pound-feet of torque. The Chevy Colorado's strongest engine, a 3.6-liter V6, can only offer up to 275 pound-feet.
Towing and hauling supplies or cargo is pretty much a requirement for any truck you drive, but doing so safely isn't always a guarantee. The Ford Ranger prioritizes your peace of mind with the Ford Co-Pilot360â„¢ suite of driver assistance features, offering standard Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Braking and Pedestrian Detection, Dynamic Brake Support, and Forward Collision Warning. While the Chevy Colorado offers many of these same features, you won't get them standard - that means opening up your wallet and dropping even more money on higher trim levels.
Ford Ranger vs. Honda Ridgeline
Light-duty trucks aren't always known for their towing and hauling, but the Ford Ranger makes a statement with its capability. The Ranger can tow a maximum of 7,500 pounds, courtesy of its 2.3-liter EcoBoost® engine with 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. On the other hand, the Honda Ridgeline is limited to only 5,000 pounds with all-wheel drive equipped - the front-wheel drive model manages 3,500 pounds of towing with its 3.5-liter V6 that delivers 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. If you need to load up your payload and go, the Ranger delivers a class-best capacity of 2,128 pounds, compared to the Ridgeline's 1,465 pounds. Getting work done is easier with the Ranger!
With all that power, you might expect the Ford Ranger to guzzle gas and require frequent trips to the gas pump. Thankfully, that's not the case! The Ranger, thanks to its efficient turbocharged engine, enjoys an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 21/26 mpg city/highway. While the Honda lineup is often known for offering an efficient selection of vehicles, the Ridgeline can't match up to the Ranger. The Honda pickup only manages an estimated 18/24 mpg city/highway, ensuring that you'll lose miles when you choose the Ridgeline over the Ford Ranger.
