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.
