2024 Ford Ranger XLT Propels Past Chevy Competition In Saskatchewan
Mid-size styling. Super-sized performance.
The 2024 Ford Ranger XLT proves that small can be mighty - delivering class-defining power to Saskatchewan. Anchored by an EcoBoost engine suite, this 4x4 effortlessly adapts to the highway and the trails; and it leaves the new Chevy Colorado Work Truck puttering far behind.
Prepare for the less is more revolution.
2024 Ford Ranger XLT: Performance Specs
Offered on the new XLT is the 2.3L EcoBoost. This block generates an impressive 270 HP and 310 lb.-of torque - taking full advantage of the complementing 10-speed automatic transmission with Progressive Range Select technology. An all-aluminum design assures superior heat conduction, creating optimal temperatures while hauling; and the meticulously crafted drivetrain (which pairs an independent front suspension with electronic shift-on-the-fly steering and gas-powered shock absorbers) utilizes every rev. Achieve a payload capacity of 730-kg and a maximum towing output of 3,400-kg.
Compare this to Chevrolet’s latest Colorado.
The 2024 Work Truck trim features a larger engine suite than the Ranger (a 2.7L inline-four). Its output, however, proves less than ideal - earning a mere 237 HP and 260 lb.-ft of torque. An eight-speed automatic transmission further disappoints, lacking the XLT’s broader ratios and limiting all-terrain responses. Compromises will be needed.
2024 Ford Ranger XLT: Economy Specs
Performance isn’t measured solely in horsepower. Instead Ford embraces everyday capability, fusing the new Ranger XLT with efficiency. Bolstered by direct-injection technology - which optimizes fuel distribution - this model achieves up to 20 MPG in the city and 24 MPG on the highway (earning a Combined rating of 22 MPG). The aluminum configuration sheds precious weight from the body, resulting in a light 4,415-pound curb rating and requiring fewer resources to propel the truck forward; while the 18.8-gallon tank assures a drive-range of up to 451 miles. This platform has been tailored for high-economy.
Its Chevy competitor has not.
The 2024 Colorado Work Truck averages only 18 MPG in the city and 23 MPG on the highway. Its larger frame (213 inches in length versus the Ranger’s 210.6 inches) and higher curb weight (4,480 pounds) requires additional resources to power it; and this will translate into frequent fuel station stops.
