The only cool thing that I see would be cool about the Colorado for you would beā¦
I added a Borla catback, new Eibach shock set and a little more rubber, solved the sewing machine and stability questions. Plus cheaper than a new truck and big debt
I had a '17 ZR2 until a year or so ago, it was def strong offroad plus the multimatic shocks worked great on highways. Haven't driven a new one but the '19 Ranger Lariat from the '17 ZR2 was a nice upgrade in pretty much every way
Other than the usual useless reply I am not looking to start a brand argument I was just stating the fact that I do not see the 2024 or the 2025 Ranger or the Raptor worth the money and that you will not find one that is worth the asking price that Ford wants and at my age I could care less about any off road, the Z71 Colorado is better than the Ranger to me.
I do like the looks of the Colorado too, and to be honest it does look a little better than the 6g Ranger to me, itās a sharp looking truck. When the new Colorado was coming out people were speculating that the Colorado would get the 10 speed, I did go to the build page and take a look but once it was revealed itās sticking with the 8 speed like the Silverado 2.7, I lost interest.
Did you drive one? I do like the looks of the Zr2, always have, but after seeing a YT video comparing the Ranger offroad, to the ZR2 was no match. I think Chevy also uses more "active" suspension so it likely rides more like boat which I don't care for. I've not compared them, so I can't see, but there's some comparison videos out there.
I wish Ford would bring the Ranger Everest to the states. I'd buy one the next day they arrived.I haven't tried a new '24 yet and doubt I will. Besides the Raptor I wouldn't get another Ranger unless they came out with a good hybrid but it would have to be really good and not $60K. My needs for a truck are dwindling down and will more so after we move later this spring. I've been eyeing the Subaru Outbacks (I'm liking them more and more) and a couple other crossovers which would be more than enough for my needs now.
As far as 6G goes most wouldn't last a day over here. lol
That would be a strong contender with the Outback. They are nice and Alex @viperwolf has one and AFAIK he still really likes it.I wish Ford would bring the Ranger Everest to the states. I'd buy one the next day they arrived.
Nice !I upgraded too from a 5g to 6g.
I still drive a 5g for work but my personal vehicle is a 6g.
The LED headlights and the interior is the biggest changes. They are both good with the 6g having the edge for sure.
No, I did not considering that I would not be able to buy it I just sat in it and have to say it is way more comfortable in the seats than my Ranger and the one thing that really got my attention was that it had a HUD and from driving my wife's Mercedes that has a HUD I just loved that. As for four wheel drive, I do not care that much about that since at my age I do not do that at all. I also loved the twin panel sunroof and the power rear window! But these are things that are factory add on. The ZR2 comes with a factory installed lift kit also. Well, nuff said about Chevy but in all my years of having Ford which is three Rangers, one F-150 sidestep and a F-250 and three F-350 both Single wheel and Dual wheel and having one bought back by Ford I will take my old 2013 Ram 3500 over all of them.
IMO, it's superior to an Outback and more comparable to a 4-Runner. There were rumors this was coming to the US, but Ford must have changed their tune as there seems to be no more chatter about it. I think it looks great.

I like that, but it's been talked about for years so it would be at least 2-3 years out from today even if Farley green lights it tomorrow. It's exactly what I'm looking for.
