Acceleration numbers were not readily available for the Ranger 2.3T as of this writing, but on paper, the Ranger's operating at a deficit relative to the Colorado 2.7T TurboMax, which has a lower starting price and gives you far more horsepower and torque. The Ford has a slight edge when it comes to maximum payload capacity, though.
Adding 4WD leaves the Ranger 2.3T's fuel economy estimates virtually unchanged, so the only question is whether you want to pony up a few more grand to have that versatility.
The Ranger V6 comes standard with 4WD, and its twin-turbo 2.7-liter engine is delightfully powerful and torquey. Although Chevy's 2.7-liter turbo four competes well on paper with its 310 hp and 430 lb-ft, the Ranger V6 lays waste to GM's midsize trucks and every other rival, for that matter, including all Tacoma configurations. If the Ranger Raptor seems a little too extra to you, know that the Ranger V6 nips at its heels acceleration-wise while being much more affordable and subtle.
The lesser Rangers eat the Colorado's dust when it comes to engine output numbers, but the Raptor flips that script. The Colorado's top off-road trims, the ZR2 and ZR2 Bison, use the same engine as the ordinary models, whereas the Ranger Raptor gets an exclusive 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 that thoroughly spanks its Chevy rivals. Of course, the Ranger Raptor also gets a wide variety of off-roady upgrades to do justice to the Raptor name. It's an awesome truck if you can get your hands on one.
