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 GMC Canyon than in the Ford Ranger. The GMC Canyon will be a favorite with tall drivers and their passengers since it has much greater head- and legroom than the Ford Ranger.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Ford Ranger as you will with the GMC Canyon, as they can travel a similar number of miles on a tank of gas.

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 Ford Ranger is a better financial choice over the GMC Canyon, when considering MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Ford Ranger is much wider than the GMC Canyon, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. When looking at overall length, the Ford Ranger takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the GMC Canyon.

Performance
The Ford Ranger has a little less horsepower than the GMC Canyon.

Powertrain
The Ford Ranger offers much less torque than the GMC Canyon, which generally means that it won't feel as fast or powerful.

Utility
The Ford Ranger has less seating than the GMC Canyon, making the GMC Canyon the better choice if you often have passengers. The Ford Ranger has a slightly greater cargo capacity for your lumber or other material than the GMC Canyon.
