If you are searching for a truck that runs on an alternative to conventional gasoline, then you need to take a look at the 2021 Jeep Gladiator. Compared with the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado, this diesel powertrain is far superior.
Â
The optional 3.0-litre Ecodiesel V6 motor pushes out 260 hp and an astonishing 442 lb-ft of torque. Thanks to the 8-speed automatic transmission and Variable Geometry Turbo technology, you can expect to get around 10.7 L/100 km (22 mpg) in the city and 8.4 L/100 km (28 mpg) on the highway. It can also tow up to 2,948 kg (6,500 lbs) without breaking a sweat.
Â
On the other hand, the Chevy Colorado diesel is a turbocharged 2.8-litre 4-cylinder unit. Smaller and not as powerful, it generates only 181 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. Partnered with a 6-speed automatic transmission, you might assume that it would get better mileage. However, this is not the case. It is rated at around 13.1 L/100 km (18 mpg) in the city and 10.7 L/100 km (22 mpg) on the highway. The maximum hauling limit is capped at 2,267 kg (5,000 lbs), which is much lower than the Gladiator as well.

If you are looking for a powerful truck, then the search is over! The new 2021 Jeep Gladiator outperforms the 2021 Chevrolet Colorado with a much stronger standard engine.
Â
Rumbling under the hood of the Gladiator is a 3.6-litre V6 motor from Pentastar. Boasting Stop-Start technology, it delivers 285 hp and 260 lb-ft of torque. While this unit can be paired with either a 6-speed manual or 8-speed automatic transmission, every trim level includes the Command-Trac part-time shift-on-the-fly 4x4 system. This allows you to traverse over various terrain (including sand) with ease. In fact, this pickup is the only vehicle in its class to offer a Desert Rated trim - the Mojave. Also, it has a maximum towing limit of 3,469 kg (7,650 lbs).
Â
On the other hand, the Chevy Colorado is usually equipped with a 2.5-litre Inline 4 engine. Mated with a 6-speed automatic transmission and your choice of drivetrain, it produces 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque. Its ability to pull is capped at 1,587 kg (3,500 lb), which is very low.
