Ford Ranger Raptor vs Chevy Colorado ZR2 vs Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro | Everything We Know
We compare the new Raptor Ranger that is coming to the United States (hopefully for the 2020 model year!!) to its competitors; the Chevy Colorado ZR2 and the Toyota Tacoma TRD PRO.
All three of these trucks are incredibly impressive trucks aimed at the compact truck market and offer some awesome specs and tech. Does that make them worth their $40,000+ price tags? That's for you to decide! We're just here to talk about about what these trucks offer to the off-road enthusiast and help convey everything we know about the Ford Ranger Raptor.
Even though the Raptor Ranger has already been released in the Asia-Pacific automotive market, we know there will be some key changes to the powertrain before Ford brings the truck over to our U.S. coasts.
Stay tuned to learn more about the Ranger Raptor, the Colorado ZR2, and the Tacoma TRD Pro.

Honestly, not interested in and of the vehicles for my personal use but definitely enjoyed the video! Well done!
ππ
@Im_Caiman Lol
So what did the doctor say was wrong with you?
The Sundae Drive mission accomplished lol. Looking forward to watching more.
Thanks for the feedback! Trying to make the videos as entertaining and informative as possible π
Never heard of a sub compact truck...mid size. Idiot, clearly not a car guy
Hey! The Taco has the TRD supercharger option in the making! π
That would be awesome!
Ford sucks, raptor is JUNK
You can keep the ranger
Colorado is my favorite.
Hereβs a comparison full of a bunch of guessing and conjecture. Good editing doesnβt make up for a lack of facts.
Wasted me timeA doctor does not put together a brain
A kid with legos puts together a setThe Sundae Drive. Put together implies you show a lack of substantial knowledge. Perhaps there is a need to post videos with no substance, except to post them.
Got to keep in mind that we put this video together months before all of the specs or the truck had been released yet. Put together what info was available at the time.
"Asian Pacific Markets" and you exclude Philippines, and ALL of Endo China region? Nice global map. Try a little bit harder with your prep work gentlemen.
Lucky? The truck is more gayer than AIDS.. what idiot puts a 2L diesel in a flagship truck...
I own a zr2 colorado diesel love it I try Toyota pro not for me zr2 always
I love it
Are you two the ones that directed Game of Thrones?
π€·πΌββοΈππ¬
La unica raptor es la f150, esa es una ranger normal con una suspensiΓ³n fox nada mas no merece el nombre de raptor
Speak for yourself, a diesel option for towing and overlanding with better MPG and durability is what the states needs. They're trucks not cars.
diesels are very good for sure, especially when it comes to torque and towing
Remember that ranger raptor have expensive and high performance fox shox
Rubbish.
4:50 is the start of the actual comparison
Australians lucky ? It's designed and engineered by Ford Australia.. nothing at all to do with Ford US.. Ford Australia makes awesome vehicles
Agreed. The Aussie's know what's up
This review is obsolete. The Ranger is here. Evaluate it.
The TRD aint worth its cost and the suspension will beat the crap outta you. To me, the Ranger is beastly but it looks way to much like the ZR2. So, I'll stick with seeing myself in that sexy beast ZR2 and I'll throw a chip, 2" suspension lift, and 35" wheels on it and swag out.
These new trucks are badass! But I Love my 2005 v8 4runner! It's got awesome power, and with a 3 inch lift and 33 inch tires it makes for an awesome rig. 270hp and 330lbs of torque is plenty power.
LOVE an older lifted 4runner. Kind of wish they could still be had with a V8
Jeep Gladiator and I picked the zr2 bison
They should produce a ranger raptor kit
For real ππ
Yeah, a kit that wouldn't void your warranty would be awesome.
That would be awesome and make way too much sense
Ranger Raptor for me! I literally couldnβt decide between the new ranger, or an f150 or f150 raptor, they just made my choice super easy
nissan and Toyota buried the ranger and Colorado and will do it again in short order
@The Sundae Drive i HOPE SO
Every Colorado / ZR2 owner that has commented on here seems to be in love with it. Seems to be a reliable. New GM is much better than old GM
@The Sundae Drive it all hinges of reliability Gm trucks are not reliable Ford, on the other hand, has proven reliability
We'll see. So far Toyota has not even tried to update the tech or seriously update the suspension in their trucks to compete with the newer Ford's and Chevrolet's. They are running on proven but old platforms that is sorely in need of a refresh
WAITING FOR CHEVY TO OFFER THE LS3 UPGRADE BADASS OPTION π
Lol no. If only it was a factory option π
Is this actually a thing?
Haha that would be awesome π
If F150 Raptor is Dwayne Johnson, then the Ranger Raptor is Justin Bieber.
ππππ
When did GM stop producing compact trucks. Did the S-10 stop being produced before 2004 when the Gen 1 Colorado begin production?
There was a gap in the US market for 2013-2014 where the Colorado was not produced between the first and second generations
I was gonna say its not fair to compare raptor to Tacoma and Colorado, but remember the ZR2 suspension system.
I gotcha! Yeah that makes sense. The zr2 is definitely well proven at this point as a really good factory prepped model
But I dont, Im sure there is a aftermarket for engine performance for the Colorado and Tacoma just not the factory other than the ZR2 suspension
TT and performance suspension
Why do you think it is unfair?
you two are bias...your only favor to raptor...you don't even give a exact figure and it wins your damn review...duh!
Haha maybe. Although if I was buying I would get a ZR2. We tried to be as fair as possible, simply going off of the known information at the time. The one area we made a big guess was the motor tho.
