Off-Road Prowess & Capability: 2020 Chevrolet Colorado vs 2020 Jeep Gladiator
Over the last decade, the Jeep brand has built a solid reputation for dominating off-road trails. And to be completely honest, the Chevrolet Colorado isn't a pushover in the off-roading department.However, trail domination is built into the DNA of
the Jeep Gladiator. It's the only truck with removable doors, a removable top,
and a fold-down windshield.
Even the base
Gladiator comes from the factory ready to tackle trying terrains with standard
4WD, skid plates, and a transfer case.
For the ultimate off-roading experience,
the Gladiator Rubicon boasts rear and front locking differentials, rock rails,
locking differentials, massive 33-inch tires, and a brush guard.
On the other
hand, the Colorado's Z71 and ZR2 trims come with a heavy-duty suspension,
recovery hooks, locking rear differential, and hill descent control. Although
formidable, the Colorado Z71 and ZR2 are no match for the ready-to-rumble Jeep
Gladiator. In fact, every Jeep Gladiator comes from the factory ready to go
where other trucks wouldn't dare; while you'll have to pay more for similar
off-road capability on the Colorado.Â
Â
The Jeep Gladiator
comes from the factory with a powerful standard Pentastar 3.6L V6 engine that
effortlessly produces up to 285 HP and up to 260 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine
is perfectly capable of dominating the toughest of trails as well as hauling
cargo with a maximum towing capacity of 7,650 pounds. In addition, the engine
is enhanced by Start-Stop technology, which helps maximize efficiency and
achieve 16/23 MPG (City/HWY).
In contrast, the
Chevrolet Colorado's standard engine performance leaves a lot to be desired.
This mid-size pickup is powered by a 2.5L four-cylinder engine that produces up
to 200 HP and 191 lb.-ft. of torque while towing
only 3,500 lbs.
