Drivers, Start Your Engines

What’s underneath the hood defines a truck. It empowers your everyday driving experience. Which truck has the engine that’s right for you?

The Ford Ranger has one standard engine that provides a reliable blend of power and productivity. Its 2.3L EcoBoost^® engine uses up to 310 lb-ft of torque to accelerate with authority.

	Model	Horsepower	Torque	EPA-Estimated MPG
2.3L EcoBoost® I-4	Ford Ranger	270 HP	310 lb-ft	21 city/26 highway MPG
2.5L 4-cylinder	Chevy Colorado	200 HP	191 lb-ft	19 city/25 highway MPG
3.6L DOHV V6	Chevy Colorado	308 HP	275 lb-ft	18 city/25 highway MPG
2.8L Duramax Turbo-Diesel	Chevy Colorado	181 HP	369 lb-ft	20 city/30 highway MPG

The Chevy Colorado lets drivers curate their driving experience. Three engines offer a mixture that can elevate your day.

The standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine produces up to 200 horsepower, but can only tote 3,500 pounds. For the most efficient option, drivers can select the available 2.8L Turbo-Diesel engine. It reaches an EPA-estimated 20 city/30 highway MPG. So, how can these engines help you tow?

Does the Chevy Colorado or Ford Ranger Tow More?

The Chevy Colorado can tow more than the Ford Ranger. The standard engine of the Ford Ranger, however, tows more than two of the Chevy Colorado’s engines.

The Ford Ranger can haul up to 7,500 pounds. Only the Colorado’s available 2.8L Turbo-Diesel engine achieves more. The Chevy truck’s diesel option can haul up to 7,700 pounds. What do these numbers mean for you?

All options empower a towing capacity that can haul a boat or a trailer. If you need more muscle for a camper or work equipment, you can find significant power in the available engines of the Colorado and the standard engine of the Ford Ranger.

Both trucks make it easy to tow safely. The Colorado is equipped with StabiliTrak^®. The electronic stability control system provides more traction to help you navigate slippery roads. The Ford Ranger has Curve Control. This can slow down your vehicle if you’re going too quickly around a curve.
