Ranger Vs. GMC Canyon

[caprtaineddie]

When comparing the entries for a mid size truck the Canyon was fairly high on my list. But, after looking closer, and getting more information I saw the mpgs were lower than my previous F-150 5.0L, and the seats sat like a 2 horse buck board. In the back of my mind I knew the Ranger was the right truck for us, and after a test drive there was no doubt. So, hopefully it will arrive at the dealer some day. It's been 10 weeks, and the dial is sitting at "Order Confirmed."

I found out that the Ford Build website is pretty unreliable. Your truck might just "show up" any day. I hope so.

I would've liked to have seen a drag race on that episode.

A good friend was visiting about month go. He's a hard core GM guy from Iowa but asked me about my Ranger. I told him if he is worried about power get behind the wheel. As soon as we turned on the highway his first words were, "damn this thing is fast." "How is it with a load?" "Four people, luggage, three ATVs on a trailer and didn't know it was back there." Followed by "Impressive. I'm in the market and will have to reconsider my my next purchase. Maybe I don't need a V6 or V8 to tow my boat." Our turbo 4 never fails to impress - just like it did me the first time I drove it.

Love my Ranger, just wish it had an integrated trailer brake controller included with the towing package like the Canyon/Colorado.

friend of mine has a 67 chevelle ss, completely restored used to take it to shows but left it parked outside, a rat went to work on it, got thru the firewall and ate into the seats using the foam to build a nest for babies under the hood.

Now the auto I wished I had kept was a 59 Bonneville vert with a 389 and 3 deuces.

It hurt me to do this, but I lied to a Ford dealership and told them I was cross-shopping the Chevy/GM offerings and preferred them to the Ford. I was dead set on getting a new Ranger but I was getting annoyed and frustrated with the dealer and lied. LOL It hurt me though.

Dont feel too bad, Im sure they would have lied to you first chance they got.....

Fyi below, but as a former sales guy (IT) I heard a saying from my partners in crime that the only people who lie more than sales people are customers, YMMV.

I like the graphics and roof spoiler. Where did you get them?

A lot of people knock the ranger for its car like front end but I think that’s where it out shines all other trucks excluding the gladiator. I like being able to see over the front of my vehicle. The canyon has the typical bulky truck front but they make it even worse by have the fenders edge up slightly higher then the rest of the front there for reducing look over visibility even more so.

Then we factor in the seats in the ranger are significantly more comfortable. The turbo4 in the ranger is ok but mated to that 10speed is the final punch to anything else in the segment.

I’m currently in the market and brand agnostic, what about the GMC interior did you think was superior in the Ranger? Thanks
