I'm particularly looking for experiences with the 3.6 liter V6. I'm thinking of getting a new compact/midsize pickup, and while I'm generally a Ford fan in the truck department, I don't especially like the cabin layout of the new Ranger.
From what I've read, the Colorado has a nicer ride than the Ranger as well (a low bar to clear if my 2005 model is an example). Earlier versions of the 3.6 have a reputation for expensive timing chain failures, but I understand they've made some design changes. The version of the 3.6 that goes into the Colorado and GMC Canyon is designated LGZ, if that's any help.
