2024 Ford Ranger Raptor vs. 2024 Chevy Colorado ZR2 Off-Road Comparison | MotorTrend

Saying the Silverado ZR2 has a tucked/hidden exhaust and showing an image of a huge exhaust pipe sticking out the back is wild

[@dannysiordia4176]

they Got the wrong image that's from the 2500 hd ZR2 not the1500 ZR2 Which they're hidden. 2500 are Expose

[@dipstiksubaru3246]

You know this isn't about the half ton trucks right?

[@jbouchard4877]

also the Ranger has exhaust tips tucked up into the bumper

[@larzlarz1140]

The 1/2 ton one is sticking out of the side though. If you crush that in your off-road adventures, you’re also crushing your rear fender. But there are many obstacles that you will come off of where your rear bumper touches down on big rocks. With the exhaust in the rear, the exhaust pipe will immediately get crushed shut.

How can you decide which 4x4 is better when you only took it on trails that you could complete in a Prius? You guys were in south Utah. Moab was right there. Why not take it on real trails that would test the front lockers and show the real differences between the two?

[@The_Notorious_CRG]

because they said at the beginning that they were looking to see what was the best all-around truck for the widest segment of the population. not a lot of people would take their $60K trucks to Moab and do all the stuff you THINK people would do. You want to do it? there are plenty of other channels that would do that for you. Plus, those aren't their trucks and they would like to maintain the manufacturer/press relationship, which could suffer if you took the press vehicle and blasted it the way some Joe Blow (like you) would want to as if it were a rental truck.

Yeah the Raptor is better but we pick the ZR2. The public has spoken and the ZR2 is sitting on the lot and the Ranger Raptor will have a waiting list and 20k mark ups (unfortunately). But you guys pick the ZR2?!?! You are one of the few!!

[@DavidWright-kc6qg]

The ZR2s are available because they’ve been delivered. They’re also the fastest moving in any chevy vehicle. They also had crazy markups in the first few months of availability. I saw 10k over sticker at a dealer. Being impossible to get isn’t a positive either. ZR2 is down on power, but it also has far more support in the aftermarket for accessories and it’s a substantial improvement over the previous generation that was already a great vehicle. The ZR2 costs less, can tow more, has longer travel in the suspension, better angles, and is more intuitive. The Raptor has mroe HP, and the fox live valve mean they can never be lifted and they can’t get larger tires which is a big deal in the off roading segment. They’re both incredible vehicles, but while they each can do 99% of what the other can do, the Raptor loses out on capability and comfort.

Im very happy with my truck, and my extra 1000 pounds of towing, and ventilated seats, and my kids love having the vents in the rear to keep them comfortable. The Raptor has a better engine. But somehow that only translates to a little more on pavement acceleration and less towing.

[@Captain-Awesome]

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have a dog in this fight. I traded my 2020 Raptor in and bought a 2024 F350 SRW 6.7HO Platnium Tremor so I could tow a 5th wheel RV and have Offroad capable truck. I am only going by what the presenters said and chose. Personally I really like the ZR2 but would probably still go with the Raptor because Chevy chooses not to show the driver as much information and I tend to go with speed over everything else. The Ford HO 6.7 is 500hp and 1,200 foot pounds of torque.

[@DavidWright-kc6qg]

Doesn’t require premium fuel, the DSSV dampers are incredible and the ride is stupidly comfortable. It’s also got more than enough power for what it does. Cruising on the highway with the 2.7 is deceptive because there is so much torque in the low end you find yourself casually reaching 80-90 mph if you’re not being mindful of your speed on empty roads. Plus it can tow more when needed, has ventilated seats, and vents in the rear. The Raptor is also great, but I can understand why they would pick the ZR2 as a better daily.
