In a clash of titans, the 2024 Truck of the Year, the Chevy Colorado, goes head-to-head with the new Tacoma and Ranger. The Colorado, hailed for its diverse lineup, now faces stiff competition from the Tacoma, a segment leader, and the revamped Ford Ranger. These trucks are put through their paces to determine the ultimate midsize champion. The Colorado, sporting a potent 2.7L turbocharged engine, vies for the top spot against the Ranger's tried-and-tested platform and the Tacoma's fresh 2.4L turbo powertrain.
The judges embark on a rigorous comparison test, including on-road trials to evaluate performance across various driving scenarios. With all three trucks boasting turbocharged 4-cylinder engines for enhanced torque and efficiency, the competition is fierce. The team struggles to pick a standout performer after intensive back-to-back testing on a challenging road course. The Colorado impresses with its refined interior and robust engine, while the Tacoma shines with its ingenious interior layout, despite some handling drawbacks.
In a surprising turn of events, the Tacoma secures the third spot, falling short in performance and features compared to the Colorado and Ranger. The Chevy Colorado, with its refined driving dynamics and upscale feel, clinches the second position. However, it's the Ford Ranger that emerges victorious, thanks to its practical truck features and overall performance, earning the title of the 2024 midsize comparison winner. Each truck caters to distinct needs - the Ford excels in towing prowess, the Tacoma offers interior versatility, and the Colorado provides a comfortable daily driving experience. Ultimately, all three trucks offer exceptional value, ensuring a satisfying choice for discerning truck enthusiasts.
