      Not what I was expecting, I thought the 2.7 Colorado would have cleaned house. Only thing predictable was the Jeep dead last. I thought the Toyota and Ranger would have been close but not even in the same ballpark. You can see Ford knows how to program that 10 speed watch it jump forward every time it shifts next to its opponent. The 10 speed probably has more to do with the win than you’d think.

Plus compare the weight of the wheel/tire combos between the Ranger and Colorado. They really should be doing 3 runs and not one to average them to account for anomalies.

We'll certainly find out ourselves how well it tows with it weighing right at 6,000 lbs with the trailer boat and gear. His 2023 Ranger is 7500 lbs and his truck's door sticker says it has a 1443 lb payload capacity so we're good on both of those.

      It should do fine at that weight. It's not a weight I'd tow daily or a couple times a week. A couple times a month will be fine but I'd change the oil a little earlier during boating season. On the highway I'd use 8th gear.

      Ranger sounded like parts were falling off of it. Typical Ford junk

      @@Jose-Ramos-Jr That was parts from the typical Dodge falling off that the Ranger was running over.
