Ford Ranger - Top alternatives

Ford Ranger - Top alternatives

Ford Ranger is one of the best pickup trucks available in the country right now. In fact, it is bringing some good business for the company. Thanks to its strong build quality and numerous variants, customers looking to buy a heavy-duty pickup truck usually go with the Ford.

Ford Ranger

Ford Ranger price starts at Php 1.03 million for its base model and rises as high as Php 1.7 million for its range-topping variant. It has 3 engine options - 2.0-litre Bi-Turbo diesel with 213 PS and 500 Nm, 2.0-litre Turbo diesel that produces 180 PS and 420 Nm, and 2.2-litre TDCI Turbodiesel that has 160 PS and 385 Nm.

What are the best Ford Ranger alternatives available?

Ford Ranger rear

Ans. Well, the Ford Ranger specs sheet will impress you so much that you won’t look for any other options in the market. But that’s not going to cover the truth that there are indeed a handful of alternatives available that we think you should definitely consider before making your final decision.

Nissan Navara

Just like Ford, Nissan also has immense experience in manufacturing sturdy, rugged, reliable, and tank-like products. The foundation of the Navara is based on all that experience and knowledge. Available in 7 variants, there is a Navara for everyone.

Nissan Navara

Nissan made sure that customers get the freedom to choose from a variety. The Nissan Navara specs sheet is quite diverse. For example, the Navara is available in both 4x2 and 4x4 drive systems, it has both manual and automatic transmission options, etc.

Unlike the Ford, there’s only a single engine option here - a 2.5-litre 4-cylinder diesel mill - however, it is available in two different states of tune - 160 PS / 403 Nm and 190 PS / 450 Nm. The Navara can also handle off-road situations pretty well thanks to features like 245 mm of ground clearance, multi-link suspension, 4-wheel active brake limited slip, etc.

Mitsubishi Strada

Pickup trucks that we have today have evolved so much in the last few years or so. And we have to give it to Mitsubishi for its Strada. Don’t you think it is one of the most modern-looking and stylish pickup trucks that you have ever seen? It carries Mitsubishi’s Dynamic Shield design language which really makes a lot of difference.

Mitsubishi Strada

Apart from the looks, the Mitsubishi Strada specs also impress us with the 2.4-litre diesel engine with VGT (Variable Geometry Turbo) and MIVEC (Mitsubishi Innovation Valve timing Electronic Control). It produces 181 PS of max power and 430 Nm of peak torque and is available in a 6-speed manual and a new 6-speed automatic.

Some of the other features that we think would prove beneficial in off-road conditions are-

  • 4WD high range
  • 4WD high range with a locked centre differential
  • 4WD low range with a locked centre differential
  • Off-road mode traction control

Chevrolet Colorado

Coming from Ford’s homeland is Chevrolet Colorado. This American pickup truck is known for its America styling (obviously) and durable 2.8-litre Duramax engine. This engine produces 200 hp and 500 Nm of torque which is more than sufficient to take this pickup to remote places.

Chevrolet Colorado

Chevrolet Colorado specs also have another engine option - a less powerful 2.5-litre variant which churns out 163 hp and 380 Nm of torque. As for the transmission, there are two options - 6-speed MT and 6-speed AT. And it is not just off-road where Colorado shines, it also does its primary job very well as it has a towing capacity of 3.5 ton and payload capacity of 1 ton.

How many Chevrolet Colorado variants and colours are there?
Ans. Colorado has 7 different variants that range from Php 1.26 million to Php 1.64 million and are available in 7 colour options - Summit White, Auburn Brown, Switchblade Silver, Satin Steel Grey, Black Meet Kettle, Mountain Blue and Pull Me Over Red.

Toyota Hilux

We can’t finish off a topic regarding pickup trucks without mentioning Toyota. And that’s why it is the Hilux that appears to be among the best pickup trucks that we’ve got right now. It might not be as exciting to look at as some of the aforementioned names however the peace of mind that it offers is unbeatable.

Toyota Hilux

The primary focus of the Hilux is to get the job done as efficiently as possible. It runs on a 2.4-litre four-cylinder diesel engine which produces 147 bhp and 400 Nm of torque. And if you want to go 4x4, then you have got yourself a more powerful 2.8-litre diesel mill with 174 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque. But still, it might not be the best pickup truck for off-road endeavours.

These were the top alternatives to the Ford Ranger that are currently available in the market. Do let us know which one do you think is the best.
