The 2020 Ranger most often competes with the related Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon duo.
The GM trucks offer an optional turbodiesel that’s barely more efficient and a stout V-6 with good pull off the line.
The Honda Ridgeline is the practical pick, it’s all the pickup we need and more but it lacks character.
The Tacoma has the character to spare—and then some more—but it falls down in the details and it’s pricey.
The Nissan Frontier is the cheapest of the bunch, and it feels like it.
It’s good when any pickup will do.
The F-150 may challenge the Ranger in some trim configurations, especially when incentives are concerned.
