Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the extended cab may find themselves a little more squished in the Chevrolet Colorado than the Ford F-150. 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
If you've got something you need to tow, the Chevrolet Colorado will do just as well as the Ford F-150, since they have about the same towing capacity. The Chevrolet Colorado has a little less horsepower than the Ford F-150.

Powertrain
With somewhat higher torque, the engine of the Chevrolet Colorado transmits a bit more power 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.
