THIS IS THE BEST HIGH PERFORMANCE TRUCK PART 1

EV Channels Review

This episode of TFL Talkin' Trucks dives into the mid-size performance truck segment, focusing on the Ford Ranger Raptor and the Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison. The hosts praise the Ranger Raptor's price point, offering significant performance for its $58,000 starting price compared to higher-priced competitors. Key highlights include its Fox active suspension, front and rear lockers, and a comfortable, wafty ride. However, criticisms are leveled at its tame styling, disappointing exhaust note, and some interior ergonomics, particularly the screen placement and shifter design. The Chevrolet Colorado ZR2 Bison is noted for its aggressive looks and factory-equipped 35-inch tires, along with front and rear lockers and hydraulic bump stops. Its main drawback is the lack of a more powerful engine option compared to the Ranger Raptor, and the spare tire placement in the bed, which reduces cargo space. The discussion also touches on the Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro and Trail Hunter, noting their high price and hybrid powertrain, and briefly mentions the Hyundai Santa Cruz and Ford Maverick Tremor as smaller, less performance-oriented options.
