well back to the original topic of rangers vs colorado's my mom has an o4 colorado I5 with 166k on it and ever since it hit 140k its had problems and the interior creaks and makes all kinds of noises her suspension is shot and tires wearing terribly bad the guy at the alignment shop said it can't be perfectly aligned. everytime u hit a bump the truck jerks all over the road. my ranger takes corners alot better than her truck and i bet my 3.0L could keep up with her i hate her truck whenever i drive it everytime i push the pedal down it downshifts and when it doesn't downshift it has no power. nice looking truck but i would trade my 96 ranger for it even if it was brand new i love my ranger and she loves her colorado. chevy vs ford old battle won't be won till one goes bankrupt.
