Here’s how it stacks up to my old F-150. This comparison came from a comment regarding past full-sized and current mid-sized trucks.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
I made all differences positive to indicate that the Colorado benefits across the board (in these categories). Just a quick comparison.
I should have pulled the current F-150 dimensions in... New F-150 dimensions for comparison. Definitely bigger (but lighter!) than the past models.

Thanks for this. I get tired of hearing that the new Colorado is the same size as a 90’s F150.

I assume the 99 F150 has the 6’ bed? You should have used the Colorado long bed which is also 6’ long. That configuration is 224.9” long.
Either way, the width of the vehicle is much more of a determining factor that affects interior room and maneuverability.
Another good comparison for reference: The difference in width between the compact Sonic and fullsize Impala is only 4.7”.

I wanted to be fair in matching configurations as best I can because I didn’t want to create an agenda with a full sized short bed and mid-sized long bed. The most telling stat for me is the turning radius as I can handle the extra width of a vehicle (7% difference isn’t bad in my view).

The long bed is only called a long bed because its longer than the other shorter option. Has nothing to do with other vehicles. The Colorado is available with an 8’ bed overseas. That would technically be the Colorado long bed while the 6’ would be more of the standard bed.
Would be interesting then to throw in the mid-2000s F150 supercab with the 5’ short bed. You could get the supercab with a 5’, 6’, or 8’ bed.

Having less torque is a benefit?

Most of us still consider the impala to be a true mid-sized car I think. The car makers can claim it’s full size, but screw those lies. We all know it isn’t.

No, I just wasn’t thorough in my formulas.
