2022 Ford F-150 vs Chevy Colorado
Two of the most popular names in pickup trucks are Ford and Chevy, with their respective powerful and capable 2022 F-150 and 2022 Colorado models. In this comparison, we at Rockwall Ford will pit these two favored models against one another so you can make the best decision for your Rockwall, Mesquite, or Garland, Texas, lifestyle.
Let’s get started with one of the most important aspects of pickup truck shopping: capability!
Ford F-150 vs Chevy Colorado: Towing Capacity
The 2022 Ford F-150 doesn’t mess around when it comes to towing capacity. The F-150 can tow up to 14,000 pounds of trailer weight when properly equipped.
To achieve this rating, you’ll need to choose the available 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine that produces 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque. No project or weekend adventure is too big for this model. Hitch the company excavator, hard-side camper, or a couple of off-road quads to the back without a problem.
The Chevy Colorado, on the other hand, offers limited towing capability due to its much weaker power output and being a smaller truck overall. The best this model can do is provide an optional Duramax® 2.8L Turbo-Diesel 4-cylinder engine that makes 369 lb-ft of torque, resulting in a 7,700-pound maximum towing capacity when properly configured, which is just over half of what the F-150 is capable of.
Ford F-150 vs Chevy Colorado: MPG
In terms of fuel economy, the 2022 Ford F-150 and the 2022 Chevy Colorado are both suited for efficient drives. When equipped with its available 3.5L PowerBoost™ Full Hybrid V6 engine, the F-150 achieves up to an EPA-estimated 25 city and 25 highway MPG.
With its smaller build and weaker power output, the Colorado does edge just slightly ahead of the F-150 in terms of fuel economy. With its optional Turbo-Diesel engine under the hood, you’ll enjoy up to an EPA-estimated 20 city and 30 highway MPG.
Ford F-150 vs Chevy Colorado: Interior
Sometimes, one extra seat can mean the difference between taking two vehicles to the lake or taking one do-it-all vehicle like the 2022 Ford F-150. This model seats up to six passengers with the available SuperCrew cab, which offers a whopping 43.6 inches of legroom for second-row passengers.
Compare this to the Colorado’s Crew Cab, its largest cab option. Not only will you only have five total seats inside the cabin, but rear passengers could be cramped with just 35.8 inches of legroom.
Not only does the F-150 put the Colorado to shame when it comes to cabin space, but it also goes above and beyond with extra comfort features. You won’t find a Dual-Zone Electronic Automatic Temperature Control system, massage-capable front seats, or heated rear seats in any Colorado configuration. Meanwhile, these are all available options for the F-150.
