Comparison Review

Comfort
Due to its greater head- and legroom, passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Ford F-150 than in the Chevrolet Colorado. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between the Chevrolet Colorado and the Ford F-150.

Convenience
With the Ford F-150 you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Chevrolet Colorado, due to its tank size and fuel economy.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). Clearly, the Chevrolet Colorado is a better financial choice over the Ford F-150, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Chevrolet Colorado is much slimmer than the Ford F-150, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. If you go with the Chevrolet Colorado, you'll have a much easier time finding a large enough space to park than you will with the Ford F-150.

Performance
In terms of towing capacity, the Ford F-150 is clearly the choice over the Chevrolet Colorado for pulling heavy loads. When it comes to horsepower, the Chevrolet Colorado is clearly outclassed by the Ford F-150.

Powertrain
Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Colorado does a much better job of transmitting the horsepower of the engine to the wheels than the Ford F-150.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit the same number of people in the Chevrolet Colorado as you will the Ford F-150. The Ford F-150 has a lot more cargo capacity for hauling lumber or gardening supplies than the Chevrolet Colorado.
