Consumers have a wide range of choices — especially if they want a midsize pickup that can deliver great offroad performance.
Around 2014, however, Chevy looked at the midsize segment and decided to roll out a new contender, the updated Colorado. The Colorado had been around, along with its sibling, the GMC Canyon, but they were sort of multinational afterthoughts prior to 2013, sharing a platform with an Isuzu truck thanks to General Motors' partnership with that carmaker.
The Ford Ranger returned to the US market in 2019. My Lariat SuperCrew four-wheel-drive Ranger was nicely equipped and stickered at almost $45,000. The base-price pickup is a little more than $24,000.The SuperCrew configuration sports a five-foot bed, but the Ranger can be had with a two-door cab and a six-foot bed. The Lariat series packaging adds about $2,000 to the price tag.The Ranger is a handsome pickup, especially in "Lightning Blue.
The Colorado ZR2 kind of blends aggression with sporty sleekness. Personally, I don't think the various fascia elements — grille, badge, headlights — are in good balance.My ZR2 had some sweet knobby tires and 17-inch aluminum wheels.The Colorado ZR2 is a proper, lifted, four-wheel drive upgrade. Still a pickup, however. Check out those leaf springs in the rear suspension.You have electronic-locking differentials, front and rear, so the Colorado ZR2 is ready for serious off-roading.
Fuel economy is meh: 16 mpg city/18 highway/17 combined. But you don't buy a performance off-roading pickup to save on gas. And I added: "From a price-to-value-ratio standpoint, you're getting a lot of truck with the ZR2. If you lead an active, outdoorsy lifestyle, it's definitely worth a look. It will be able to handle pretty much anything you can throw at it.The ZR2 has the potential to do it all. Sure, it's going to perform better off-road than on. But it is plenty OK on-road for such as a capable machine. When you put it all together, it adds up to one of the best pickups I've ever driven.
Say hello to the Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison! The 2019 Chevy ZR2 Bison, to be precise. In a "Red Hot" paint job, this test truck stickered at $49,745.Our Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison tester came with a crew cab and a short box. It also had $6,000 of upgrades from American Expedition Vehicles, all designed to improve the pickup's ability to go where no midsize pickup has gone before.The Bison carries the proud Chevrolet name on the blacked-out grille, rather than the bowtie Chevy badge.
