Ranger versus Colorado engine and transmission options
Under the hood, the 2025 Ford Ranger gives drivers three engine options to choose from, depending on the trim and performance needs:
- A 2.3L EcoBoost® engine
- A 2.7L EcoBoost® V6
- A high-performance 3.0L EcoBoost® V6 (Raptor model)
All of these are paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission that’s designed for smooth shifting and confident towing and hauling.
On the other hand, the 2025 Chevrolet Colorado features a single engine across all trim levels: a 2.7L TurboMax™. While this engine delivers solid power and torque, it’s matched with an 8-speed automatic transmission, which may feel a bit less refined compared to the Ranger truck’s 10-speed in certain driving conditions.
If you’re looking for more choices and powertrain flexibility, the 2025 Ranger edges ahead in this category.
