Compare the Chevy Colorado to the Honda Ridgeline and Nissan Frontier at Ciocca Chevrolet of Quakertown
A large, robust full-size pickup truck isn't always the right fit for your morning commute. You might prefer the versatility and maneuverability offered by a midsized truck like the Chevy Colorado. The Colorado offers an easy way to manage tough tow jobs and restrictions at the work site, thanks to its smaller frame but hardy disposition. We want to help you explore the new Chevy Colorado fully at our Ciocca dealership in Quakertown!
However, the Chevy Colorado isn't alone in its segment. The lineup has competition like the Honda Ridgeline and Nissan Frontier, making it difficult to choose the one that suits you best. Don't spend hours researching! We've arranged comparisons of the Chevy Colorado to its competition, helping you explore what makes the Colorado truck a great pick!

Chevy Colorado vs. Honda Ridgeline
When you buy a midsize truck, you aren't sacrificing power to get versatility - there's still plenty of muscle under the Colorado's hood. The Chevy truck features three engine options: a 2.5-liter producing 200 horsepower and 191 pound-feet of torque, a 3.6-liter V6 pushing out 308 horsepower and 275 pound-feet, and a Duramax® 2.8-liter Turbo-Diesel outputting 181 horsepower and 369 pound-feet. The Honda Ridgeline limits you to one engine option, a 3.6-liter V6 delivering 280 horsepower and 262 pound-feet of torque. The standard Ridgeline engine is more powerful than the Colorado's 2.5-liter but pales in comparison to the Chevy pickup's available V6. The Ridgeline also can't match the Turbo-Diesel engine.
Ready to hitch a trailer to your truck and start hauling supplies to the worksite? Both pickup trucks all you to attach your laden trailer, but the Colorado offers more towing capability than the Ridgeline. When the Chevy truck equips the Duramax® engine, you'll tow up to 7,700 pounds, while the V6 is just slightly behind at 7,000 pounds. The Ridgeline has a tough time matching up - the Honda truck only tows up to 5,000 pounds.
While pickup trucks aren't always known for efficiency, the Chevy Colorado might surprise you and save you money at the pump. The new Chevy tuck offers an EPA-estimated fuel economy of 19/25 mpg city/highway when equipping the 2.5-liter engine. The Duramax® Turbo-Diesel improves efficiency to 20/30 mpg city/highway. The Honda Ridgeline isn't as efficient with its one engine option, only offering an EPA-estimated 18/24 mpg city/highway.
Chevy Colorado vs. Nissan Frontier
Even matching the Chevy Colorado to the Nissan Frontier doesn't detract from the engine lineup. The Nissan Frontier only offers a single 3.8-liter V6 engine, delivering 310 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque. The Chevy Colorado's V6 is comparable to the Nissan Frontier's V6. The Colorado also can equip a 2.8-liter Duramax® Turbo-Diesel engine, featuring up to 369 pound-feet of torque - the Frontier has no match.
What about towing capacity? The Nissan Frontier won't back down from a challenge, allowing you to tow up to 6,570 pounds. While this amount may be perfect for smaller cargo loads, it won't let you handle as much as the Chevy Colorado. The Chevy pickup can tow more with its V6 and Turbo-Diesel engine.
You can consider a pickup truck for more than just a hauler of supplies and gear. The Chevy Colorado's front passengers enjoy 41.4-inches of headroom and 45 inches of legroom for a comfortable ride. The Nissan Frontier won't be as spacious, only providing 39.9-inches of headroom and 42.3-inches of legroom. When you want to enjoy the drive, the interior space in the Colorado will suit you best!
