Ford Ranger vs the Competition

Ford full-size pickup trucks are famous, but for a long time, there was no available midsize Ford truck. Thankfully that has come to an end with the release of the 2019 Ford Ranger. The 2019 Ford Ranger is smaller than its full-size siblings, giving you increased fuel efficiency and mobility. Ford hit it out of the park with their new model, and while there are plenty of other midsize trucks on the market, the 2019 Ford Ranger puts them all to shame. Models like the Toyota Tacoma and Chevrolet Colorado are certainly appealing, but the truth is that the Ford Ranger is the superior pick. Here are just a few ways that the 2019 Ford Ranger pulls ahead of its rivals:

Ford Ranger vs Toyota Tacoma

• The 2019 Ford Ranger gives you a standard turbocharged 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine, which delivers an impressive 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The standard engine in the 2019 Toyota Tacoma is a 2.7-liter four-cylinder engine, which only puts out 159 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque.
• The most powerful engine available to the 2019 Toyota Tacoma generates 278 horsepower and 265 pound-feet of torque. That's slightly more horsepower than the Ford Ranger, but much less torque.
• The 2019 Ford Ranger comes with a standard 10-speed automatic transmission. The 2019 Toyota Tacoma has a standard six-speed manual transmission.
• The 2019 Ford Ranger is midsize, but that doesn't mean that it's weak. When the 2019 Ford Ranger is properly equipped, you can use it to tow up to 7,500 pounds. A properly-equipped Toyota Tacoma can only tow up to 6,800 pounds
• The 2019 Ford Ranger has a maximum payload capacity of 1,860 pounds. The 2019 Toyota Tacoma has a maximum payload capacity of 1,620 pounds.
• The 2019 Ford Ranger has a 5-year/60,000-mile (whichever comes first) roadside assistance plan. The 2019 Toyota Tacoma only has a 2-year/25,000-mile roadside assistance plan. Ford keeps you covered, and gives you extra peace of mind.
• The most fuel-efficient configuration of the 2019 Ford Ranger earns an EPA-estimated 21/26/23 city/highway/combined mpg. The most fuel-efficient configuration of the 2019 Toyota Tacoma gets an EPA-estimated 20/23/21 city/highway/combined mpg.
• Ford offers an available 8-inch infotainment touchscreen on the 2019 Ford Ranger, which is complete with the Ford Sync 3 infotainment system, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are unavailable on the 2019 Toyota Tacoma.

Ford Ranger vs Chevrolet Colorado

• The standard engine in the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado is a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine. It puts out 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque, making it much weaker than the standard engine in the 2019 Ford Ranger.
• The 2019 Chevrolet Colorado has a maximum payload capacity of 1,574 pounds. Like the Toyota Tacoma, the Chevrolet Colorado simply can't match the Ford Ranger.
• The 2019 Ford Ranger has 8.4 inches of ground clearance to get it over any obstacle that gets in your way, which is more than the 2019 Chevrolet Colorado.
• The 2019 Chevrolet Colorado has a standard six-speed manual transmission.
