been compared on the forums many times previously but that lariat also has many features that GM decided not to include on the colorado. pros and cons to each truck.
It's true the Colorado doesn't have physical knobs for the lights, but it's not as though the lights are missing from the Colorado. And yes, the Ranger does edge out the Colorado slightly in terms of horsepower/torque and towing capacity if off-roading is your thing or you're doing a ton of hauling.
In all fairness, the productiom Ranger 6G hasn't been delivered to customers yet. So it's really hard to make a fair judgment between the 2 on quality at this point.
I see it this way:
Plus the Ranger has Active trailer assist and 48" between rear wheels in the bed. Neither are available on the Colorado.
I'm not sure about the 48" thing, but I believe the Colorado also has its own form of Active Tow Assist included in the Advanced Trailering Package.
I looked up GM's trailer tow options. Not the same as Ford's but like Derek said most will not use Ford's feature either. I got that package just for the brake controller which GM does offer in theirs too. Forgot about Ford's option of having a Electronic locker. I think for GM you need to get the ZR2 to get electronic lockers. Their other models get the old mechanical locking.
Thanks for saving me a recon trip down there to take a look!They are lying about having a Lariat in stock.
All dealers do that shit all the time, do you really think they even have false Advertizing in their vocabulary? they could not care less, no one polices anything they do or say even if it is in print! not unusual to get a full "legal" buyers order and the pricing changes when you go into the F&I office, they could not care less, their mission is to squeeze every dollar out of every sale no matter what
