TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2020 Chevrolet Colorado checks many of the mid-size pickup truck boxes, but leaves safety by the side of the road.

The 2020 Ford Ranger mid-size pickup is a willing companion to weekend adventures. It’s our worst best friend.

TCC Likes

ZR2 off-road prowess
Great infotainment
Strong powertrain options

Right-sized footprint
Good turbo-4
Good 8.0-inch touchscreen

TCC Dislikes

Dated interior
Lackluster safety scores
Prices climb quickly
