When it comes to midsize trucks that can handle both work and play, the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado faces stiff competition from the likes of the Honda Ridgeline, Ford Ranger, and Toyota Tacoma. But after putting these pickups head-to-head, we're convinced the Colorado has the edge. As Blairsville locals, we've seen my fair share of trucks navigating the rugged terrain of the North Georgia mountains. The Colorado is a top choice for many drivers in our area - and for good reason.
Unbeatable Performance
Under the hood, the 2025 Chevy Colorado offers three impressive engine options to suit your power and efficiency needs. The 2.7-liter Turbo Plus kicks out 310 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque. This potent lineup outperforms the competition, with the Colorado's max towing capacity of 7,700 pounds besting the Honda Ridgeline's 5,000 lb limit. When properly equipped, the Colorado can also tow more than the Ford Ranger. Off the pavement in Murphy, NC, the Colorado's available 4WD systems and multiple drive modes give it exceptional capability on even the rockiest trails in Murphy, NC.
How the Competition Stacks Up
The Honda Ridgeline offers only one engine - a 3.5-liter V6 with 280 horsepower. While peppy, it can't match the Colorado's max power output. The Ridgeline is also more focused on light duty, with minimal off-road upgrades available. Meanwhile, the Toyota Tacoma's aging powertrain options fall short of the Colorado's advanced turbo engines. Though rugged, the Tacoma lacks the Colorado's refinement.
A More Premium Cabin
Slip into the Colorado's quiet, spacious cabin, and you're treated to quality materials throughout. Even the base model's interior is a step above what the competition offers at that level. But upgrades like the perforated leather trim take it to the next level. When you drive through McCaysville, GA, you'll realize that the Colorado's interior remains comfortable even on longer stretches, with plenty of room for adults in the rear seats.
The Ranger's Interior Comes Up Short
While the Ford Ranger's interior isn't lacking in space, the quality of materials used feels less premium than what you'll find in the Colorado. Even in higher trims, touches of hard plastic cheapen the overall feel of the Ranger's cabin. The seats are also less supportive, and the rear quarters are more cramped than the Colorado.
Tech That Keeps You Connected
These days, a smart, easy-to-use infotainment system is a must. The 2025 Colorado delivers a standard 11.3-inch diagonal color touchscreen - a size the competition can't match. Wireless Apple CarPlay®/Android Auto™, Amazon Alexa Built-In, and a high-def rear camera are just a few of the sharp tech features you'll find in this smart pickup. Drivers in Young Harris, GA, and Hiawassee, GA, can breathe easy knowing the Colorado's got their back with standard Chevy Safety Assist.
Toyota Tech That Falls Flat
The Toyota Tacoma's standard 8-inch touchscreen feels dated and small compared to the Colorado's vibrant display. Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ will tag along with each trim. But if you want a larger touchscreen, you'll have to fork out a few more thousand for an upgraded trim level. While you'll find modern active safety features on the Tacoma, they're less comprehensive than the Colorado's standard suite. The Tacoma's tech simply can't keep up with what the Colorado brings to the table.
