The sarcastic "plug" for Sysco at the end was HILARIOUS!

I really enjoyed you guys displaying the origin of the parts... I found it very interesting and hope you keep doing this. 👍

I have a 2019 Colorado and love it. Never had a problem with the brake pedal, great acceleration, handling, stopping.

I have a 2014 Ranger Wildtrack 4x4 here in Thailand and love it. It rides well, drives well, and runs very well. No complaints what so ever with the 3.2 L diesel.

Amazes me how big these "Small" Trucks really are. The original Mini's were just that. MINI. Meant to be 3rd Vehicles for those who didn't need a Full size and priced accordingly. Damn shame there is nothing offered anymore.

Not mentioned: the Ranger's rear seat back folds down in a single piece, and doesn't fold flat. So no passengers if you need to fold it. The Colorado's is a 60-40 split, so you can carry cargo and passengers at the same time.

I truly enjoyed your testing and review. Thanks

Bought a 19 ranger xlt. Loving it so far! I loved that it came with a lot of standard safety features that the other mid size trucks charge extra for. And the 2.3 EcoBoost is awesome! It definitely does the job. Hopefully ford will somehow add the 2.7 EcoBoost down the road. It handles awesome too! Price wasn’t bad either. With rebates the dealer had it at $25,101. But my payoff is only more cause I owed money on my trade😅🤷‍♂️.

A $3000 price difference is pretty serious. Also, given your conclusion, it makes me curious how the little diesel in a Colorado would stack up in the same comparison. Overall, I appreciate the balanced, fair review you gave. I'm interested in midsize trucks for my next ride, and reviews like these help give me insight to guide my purchase decision.

Wow, what a thorough review.

Well done. Really enjoyed the down to earth details and experience!

Craig...YOU.are HILARIOUS...! Loved this comparison! 🙃😃👣😁

I have gotten an average of 23.7 mpg over the last over 8,000 miles in my Colorado Z71! With the air dam removed and OEM ZR2 style skids installed. Not bad!

I have a 16' Colorado with about 51k on it same v6 engine. Life time fuel economy I have is 23.5 and that is prob a 60/40 highway to city driving.

Well done..better review than many So called Truck guys...keep up the good work.

I am not in the market for either but this was a very thorough and enjoyable review!

I work at a Ford dealership and have driven many Rangers, and I just bought a new Colorado Z71 last fall. This comparison is pretty much spot on with what I think of them. The Ranger seats are way more comfortable, I like the torque from the EcoBoost and its nicely mated to the 10-speed, the SYNC 3 system is great to use, but man the ride/handling on that thing is so bad, it kind of reminds me of my bro's old Cutlass Ciera (which I hated). The Colorado rides/handles great for a truck, feels nimble and planted, I strongly prefer the interior layout, I kind of like the styling better, and honestly I do like the V6, I think it'll age better than the turbocharged EcoBoost. Glad I went with the Chevy overall. Also I took that ridiculous air dam off and installed some proper skid plates underneath the front, I'm consistently averaging 25-26 mpg driving mostly on 40-50 mph backroads.

I don't understand why automakers do not make column mounted shifters on smaller cars and trucks to make more space in front anymore.

Thank you for being honest man. Probably not a lot of car reviewers are gonna come out and say "these trucks suck" even though you sugar coated it under "I don't love these trucks" I respect it a lot.

Very good comparison , thank you.

Good job mate loved your review. ...👍

I really enjoy his reviews

Great comparison well done....Sysco...lmao that was awesome and funny as hell,

I like both , but i prefer the Colorado with the D-Max . It gets awesome mileage and is great on trails !

I have the 2021 Ranger and i can say without doubt, I prefer it over the Chevy. At 70 MPH I average 22 MPG both on the panel and hand checked. At 2K miles now, I am getting up to 24 in town. I do agree with your assessment of the Climate controls being small, but those controls are not primary, primary controls are on the screen. The wife commented how smooth the truck was and not bouncy. My F250 was bouncy without a load. The seats are much more comfortable than the Chevy. I also agree with the brakes sponginess, took me awhile to get used to it. I would have gone with the Chevy, but i have more respect for myself than that. I think at the end of the day , it all boils down to if you want a truck to carry stuff like tools and small farm equipment in the ford or you want to carry Flower bouquets in the back of the chevy.

I have a GMC 2011Serria crew cab 5.3. My friend gets a new F-150 4 door every year. The 4.6 , 5.0 the 5.4 the 3.5 V6 the 2.7 V6 and the 3.7 V6. We go bass fishing in Canada every year. We have the same size bass boats mostly the same gear. So we're pulling about the same weight. We fill up before we leave and fill up before we reach the border. Every truck he gets say's the gas mileage should be better than mine. And every year he puts 3 to 5 gals more in than me. Ford has been overestimating their MPG for years!

Outstanding comparison!

Nobody noticed the iPhone he was trying to wirelessly charge didn’t support wireless charging???😂

Owned my Colorado since 2015. Has 96k on it. Only had 1 sensor go bad. Chevy fixed it free. Runs like a top, and has gotten me out of crappy situations.My first new vehicle and I love it today like the first time I drove it. My little daughters love it. They call it "daddy's truck" :) my 6 year old already asked me if she can have it for her first vehicle lol. Loyal Chevy fanboy for sure.

As an employee at the Wentzville plant thank you for choosing our Colorado.

very good test,,, Thank You

I kind of question the fuel economy test. I get 20.x city and high 20’s on the highway. Is my FX4 Lariat a ringer?

At 8 minutes in I could tell by your voice you we going to pick Colorado.

The Colorado 2019 is the first truck I have owned, I love it, I got mine loaded with all the features I would ever need that weird compartment doesn't' have any use for me either...lol

I have a 2013 ford ranger manual transmission 3.2 turbo diesel. I absolutely love it

This was brilliant test . Finaly its like how will the truck really work for me

This truck review is better than the last truck review you did.

Colorado all day 👍👍💪

Great review!!

With regards to driver assistance tech, the Colorado has a $690.00 safety package that includes forward collision, lane departure warning and rear park assist. This is available on the 4 x 4 LT models, but not with the Z71 trim.

Went with the Chevy Z71. Very pleased with the look and performance.

Just bought a 2019 ranger, it comfortable, fast (for a 4 banger) and I love driving it. gas milage ain't great but it's not an issue for me. I would absolutely recommend this truck

Great video thanks.

I’m on my second Colorado, first was a 2016 Z71,4x4,V6, Ext Cab in Black. The new one is a W/T Crew Cab but as loaded as a W/T can get, with Appearance Package that gets body color door handles and Power Mirrors, dark tinted windows, Alloy Wheels and Bright Window Trim, the W/T Convenience Package that comes with Cruise Control, Locking an dampened Tailgate, 7” MyChevrolet Touch Screen with Apple CarPlay plus OnStar 4 G LTE WIFI, Towing Package with Hitch an wiring, Brake Control and Auto Locking Rear Differential, plus the three available Skid Plates made for Chevy by AEV, all for an out the door price of under 31k! The Ranger I drove did feel a little quicker off the line, but did not seem to want to rev as freely as the Chevy V6, plus the brakes felt soft, very soft and the fit an finish was disappointing.

I have the Colorado and I have basically the same interior as you test and I can say those are my biggest gripes about the interior. I should have really tested the wireless charger because it's absolutely to small to fit the majority of phones in and the seats aren't comfortable, even considering i have upgraded interior... All in all it's a nice looking interior with some big flaws. I should have just bought a base 4x4 model, I'd have been happier.

I have a 2019 Ranger and the only thing I agree with AutoGuide is the fuel economy. also disappointed that ford didn't gave us a manual transmission.

Very good comparison between the two.

These trucks are available in Australia but only in Deisel options, the Ranger has a 3.2l 5cyl option (not petrol versions available in AUS), and the models chosen on this are the "softer" models. My Ranger is 2019 XLT Supercab with suicide doors in the rear, all the lane monitoring systems and an Aluminium tray for $52k AUD, those ones you have covered are a mixed up batch of leftover parts from Australia!

Just bought a 2019 Ford Ranger XLT Sport with Sync 3 technology. Did not purchase the FX4 off road package because the truck will not see any real off-road action, mostly hauling, towing and camping while still being my day to day city driving work truck. So far I love the turbo charged I4 engine very responsive and it has the start/stop technology which lends to decent city driving fuel economy. I'm a Ford guy but I did check out the Chevy Colorado and I just liked the Ranger in terms of looks, ride quality and the engine was a slam dunk for me. No doubt the Colorado is a nice mid-size truck but for me it's the Ford Ranger.

I drove a Ranger, power but handles like a cement truck and sounds like your in a wind tunnel on the highway. I bought a Colorado and love it.

The Sysco bit at the end was hilarious. I work for Ventura foods and I know all to well how much Sysco is sold worldwide. Lmao

This is the absolutely BEST shootout regarding the ranger and colorado!! I am not surprised that the ranger lost, being that it is an OLD truck brought to the North American market. YES, they upgraded it in many areas, but the design is OLD OLD OLD. See South America or Australian market. I'd skip this ranger waiting for the 2021 version which should be ALL new!! I appreciate the honesty here, because I would NOT want to make payments on either truck!! lol

This is what I call a very good review , very good job .

This guy is a herb. He wouldn't buy these trucks, cause he's too busy putting around in his Toyota 86.

So where’d you get all those ford flathead engine blocks (59ab & 8ba) you used for ballast? I could use an uncracked 8ba for my ‘51 ford f1 for a spare.

I rented a 2019 Colorado for a day and drove it 300 miles. My only complaint was that the screen would dim when I was backing up, rendering the backup camera useless. Otherwise I was quite impressed.

7:45 My ‘01 Chevy S10 has the same problem with the gas and brake pedal spacing as the Colorado...

I have ta 2019 ZR2 and I like the Ford as well. Didn’t like the lack of non folding rear seat. Plus no Raptor model. Nice truck though.

I like the honesty in the review. Looking for a vehicle to haul dirtbikes in but I hate the handling of a pickup truck. Might opt for a Grand Chrokee with a hitch trailer

My neighbor, who is in construction, has a GMC Canyon and loves it. He only cruises in it, though, but says he loves it.

I wish they would have reviewed the diesel, I have a 2019 Colorado diesel and average 31 to 32 mpg highway, 26 around town, and it can tow 7700lbs, and the torque, my God! Also the suspension on the non Zr2, and midnight editions is less aggressive leading to a better overall ride. I would like a bit more room in the back seat.

Just wanted to point this out, I use that small cubby for a garage door opener

I agree, for me it also comes down to more options. Want more fuel economy and towing, get the 2.8L diesel, want a basic cheap get around truck, get the base 4 cylinder model. Plus the Ranger May have the Fx4 package, but the Colorado’s ZR2 (and Bison) off-road package with either the V6 or diesel makes it a blast on a trail. And still after all this, don’t forget the Toyota Tacoma is a very viable option in this segment, even preferred among most.

The Sysco commercial at the end was fantastic… I subscribed

I've always driven GM vehicles, however out of these two models I have to hand it to the Ranger. I know the Ranger isn't necessarily "new", just new to North America, but it looks a lot more relevant today than the Colorado. The Colorado is in need of an update, particularly the interior. The Ranger Lariat FX4 offers a great package at a decent price. If you compare it to a Colorado ZR2 though, I'm taking the ZR2 every time!

I still go with the Colorado,more engine choices

Nice comparison. I hope GM & Ford improve their cons, though incremental improvements are not in their DNA. I like your slosh test - very creative.

"Now imagine this is hot mayonnaise." I had to like the video just because of that. I laughed too hard.

I have a 2019 Chevy Colorado, and I’m in love with my truck! I got the base model so it’s nothing fancy, but even base model is pretty nice. My center console is huge! I have so much storage to put my wallet or phone anywhere. I would say the only thing that bugs me is the back seats. I feel like people don’t really enjoy being in the back, it’s small and looks uncomfortable. My truck didn’t come with a bed liner so I had to get one myself. I did get a base model so that’s my fault. But the engine is amazing!! It’s a v6 but feels like a v8 when I’m on the highway passing people. I would say overall I love my Colorado, and I wouldn’t trade it in for anything. Plus I got 7,000lbs of bitches I can haul😏

Good review except for the water test. I think you could drive down the road in the same vehicle multiple times and each time get a different result.

Ok here I am in my 20th month and 22,800 miles, in my second Colorado. The first was a 2016, Z71, Ext Cab, 4x4, V6, that I owned for just under 3 years and 59,000 trouble free miles. That I ended up trading for a Crew Cab, WT, 4x4, V6, that as stated above with trouble free service! I found the seats just the opposite between the two, plus the WT seats are even softer, but have no adjustable lumbar support or heat. But the rest is fine! I do work them fairly hard on occasion, towing the first travel trailer at 20’, 4,000 lbs max, but then the second was 26’, 4,400-6,400lbs. Both with ease, but with a weight distribution hitch for the second truck, not so much for sag, but better ride and sway control and overall comfort. On this one I’ve added some other upgrades, like Bilstien 5100 ride hight adjustable struts and shocks, that I set at 2” front, that just about leveled it, but as I stated I need to tow and still do nice an level, but now with superior dampening and added suspension travel designed into the struts! Along with 265/75-16 Cooper RTX AT tires. Now I have a nice added edge off road. Just need to see if I can remove the front air dam, to gain a little more clearance, just need to be sure more heat while towing is not generated.

A bit late seeing this, but great review and comparison. Real world driving is more important than most of the off-road only comparison videos on you tube. Would love to hear your thoughts on a Tacoma TRD Off-Road.

Thats IT...I am getting a Ranger. Thank you for video....👍

Got the new Ranger right now it kicks ass! Wouldn’t trade it for any of these other trucks.

I have an '18 Canyon and it's just okay. I like the mileage but the front seats leave something to be desired on longer trips and twisty back roads. They are hard and flat like you mentioned and also the seat bottoms are noticeably shorter than most other cars leaving very little thigh support especially for those of us with longer legs.

Loved and hated my 2016 Colorado. Programming of the drivetrain from GM was horrible. Tow/Haul mode helped a little bit. Trifecta tuning helped a little more. Transmission never could find a gear. I hear the 8 speed is better than the 6 speed I had. The little V6 is very lacking in the torque department. Good looking and capable little trucks though. In 4Lo with a set of 33” KM3 tires it wasn’t scared to go anywhere off-road. Rear springs noisy as hell though. Hopefully they fixed that too. Traded it for a full-size diesel this year. Colorado was a fun little truck but needs changed.

So cool the Colorado. Want one. ...ZR2.

I’ll stick with my ‘06 Dakota still going with 91,000 miles, simple interior, low tech, and old fashion displacement with the 4.7 V8.

Very cool comparison. We did not spend as much time in the Chevy but we have the exact ranger same color and all. My girlfriend drives it and so far loves everything except the stero and it has the B&O. The fuel mileage for her is 22.7 mpg and that’s with her driving in downtown Houston traffic. One thing we did from The get go is put a leveling lift on it some this probably has something to do with we do not notice the body roll. She has put about 6300 miles on it so far. Mind you she went from a Honda Civic to the ranger so she really likes it a lot better. Maybe we should have looked at the Colorado more since it did so good.

Videos like this makes me miss driving again

6:50 "A POSSIBLE indicator of ride smoothness" *claps* OMG thats fantastically hilarious and Im honestly not sure how accurate your RSI is.

The fight for second place😂

"Fog horns & seagulls..." nice one👍🤙

I can relate to wireless charging pad. Most chevys are getting slight smaller pads now

I drove a Colorado about a year ago and was very impressed. I like to drive my trucks for a very long time and according to what I read, turbocharged engines tend to wear faster. So I would definitely go with a 6 cylinder naturally aspirated engine. On the flip side, the V6 Colorado is mated to the 8 speed that had issues. They say they “fixed” the problem by changing the fluid, but I need a better explanation than that. I haven’t been able to find info on 8 speed transmission issues on the 2020s so perhaps they have it under control. Perhaps the reason they haven’t announced a fix is because of the class action lawsuit. If they fixed it there must have been a problem... Wish they’d just sell it with the 6 speed. I hear the Chevys have a lot of electronics issues, but I can handle that. I just can’t purchase a vehicle if I have doubts about the transmission. Does anyone have info on the transmission issue? How about the 4 cylinder Colorado? It has the 6 speed.

It’s definitely odd when the Ranger is more expensive than the F150

Bought a Wildtrak in 2017 3.2 turbo diesel 4x4 fully loaded (in Thailand) 27k usd Tons of power, excellent economy. fantastic in monsoon season flooding and washed out roads

Nice... Thank you, for the real opinion...👍🏽

The Sysco bit was actually pretty hilarious! Hahahaha Best truck in this video... THE SYSCO TRUCK!!!!!

I've had my 2018 Colorado for 1.5 years and I smile every time I drive it and look at it when I get out. Drives as easy as a car, looks like a badass sporty truck, and the V6 can allow me to fly by whoever I want if I need to. The Ranger's headlights are too small. Looks like a car someone rigged into a truck. It's still fairly attractive, but from many angles it looks funky as hell lol. I think Chevy's designs, while bizarre, have grown on my substantially. The new Silverado and HD were shocking at first, but I really like them now. The new Sierra though is my personal favorite new truck 😍.

I have a ZR2 and I love it, sort of a jack of all trades vehicle. I wish It had smart cruise control, more towing, and maybe a inch more in the rear seats, but I understand the compromise of a midsize truck. Oh the wireless charging, “chapstick” cubby, and weird door storage is useless.

Nice review. Sorry so many a-holes here are resorting to irrelevant personal attacks. Keep up the great work. I have a 2016 Z71 and I thought your review was pretty fair. The seats are pretty good but definitely could be better. The transmission can make some pretty jarring shifts at times but it hasn't annoyed me enough to do anything about it. Tows great. Solid creature comforts, awesome handling and great utility. I wish I wen't with a crew cab so I was considering a swap to a Ranger but now I may just upgrade to the latest Colorado instead. I HATE soft suspensions!

the more vidoes i watch like this the more i cant make up my mind!!!

All these people saying they like the Colorado better but the Rangers selling better lol I got a 2019 XLT and I love it. Where my ranger homies at?!?!

great job!

great honest review! appreciate this

I have a 2019 Ford Ranger supercrew sport blue and I love it. I dont regret buying it.

I have owned 2 Ford Rangers and currently the Chevy Colorado. The Chevy rides great and gets superb fuel mileage. However, I am one of many that have suffered the dreaded A8 Transmission Shudder problem. Have had the transmission fluid changed 3 times which is a temporary fix good for a couple of thousand miles. Chevy will not replace the Torque Converter Clutch. I am an unhappy owner and would advise others to use caution.

I really appreciate the integrated brake controller in my Colorado, which wasn't even an option on the Ranger. Even were it not for the computer integration (I've used aftermarket "dumb" controllers in other vehicles for many years without incident), which is nice, I'd still appreciate it for being contained within the dash. In a vehicle that isn't a full sized truck or van, it's hard to find a place to mount an aftermarket controller that won't cause me to bang my knee, or that obstructs access to/is obstructed by something else.

i went from a 2011 f250 to a 2019 silverado 2500 both diesel , your review points out a lot of similar things. chevy brake pedal position gets annoying real fast, ford seats are way more comfortable , ford suspension is sloppy , ford has better or more info on gauges , but most of all chevy gives me a better smoother towing experience. great review ill have to get out more of your videos
