If you've been shopping for a new midsize truck, you're likely looking for a model that blends work-ready capability, everyday functionality, and comfort. At Big Valley Ford, we're happy to share three ways new Ford Ranger trucks beat alternatives from Chevrolet and Toyota in a year-long review by Edmunds. Explore key highlights below, or contact us to plan a test drive in Stockton, CA.
Advanced Connectivity
Staying connected is necessary for many drivers near Escalon, CA. Thankfully, Ford Ranger trucks offer up to a 12.0-inch SYNC® 4A infotainment system and a 12.0-inch digital instrument cluster. In comparison, the Chevrolet Colorado offers an 11.3-inch infotainment system and up to an 11.0-inch digital cluster, while the Toyota Tacoma provides an available 14.0-inch infotainment system and a 12.3-inch digital cluster. While the Ford Ranger trades blows with either competitor, Edmunds preferred the portrait orientation for its readability and navigation, which helps you stay focused on the roads of Galt, CA.
Driving Comfort
Enjoy staying comfortable on trips around Lodi, CA? While trucks are designed to conquer challenging roads or carry heavy payloads, the Ford Ranger blends impressive capability and comfort. Edmunds noted that the Chevrolet Colorado had the firmest ride and uncomfortable seats that left them hurting on long trips. Plus, the Toyota Tacoma provided a bouncy ride that was uncomfortable to control over bumps and potholes. Ford Ranger models didn't receive any similar complaints, even with the FX4® Off-Road Package.
Interior Design
If you enjoy weekend trips or running errands, the Ford Ranger offers plenty of amenities that leave you feeling relaxed around Lone, CA. Edmunds felt the Ford Ranger lineup was a clear winner regarding interior utility due to plush upholstery options and flexible cargo capacity. Compared to the Toyota Tacoma, the Ford Ranger delivered the best organization in the second row to accommodate tools, camping gear, or pets near Woodbridge, CA. Plus, the Ford Ranger combines durable trim and soft-touch panels inside the cabin that Edmunds enjoyed, while the Chevrolet Colorado featured scratch-prone plastic that led to a punctured speaker grille.
