Nissan Frontier vs Chevy Colorado | Midsize Truck Comparison

South Colorado Springs Nissan — 2022 Nissan Frontier versus 2022 Chevrolet Colorado

Although Nissan is typically known for its range of sedans and SUVs, the midsize Frontier proves that Nissan excels in automobile manufacturing, no matter the segment. Drivers from all around the area come to South Colorado Springs Nissan to find the 2022 Frontier. With four trims plus two cab styles and two engines, the 2022 Nissan Frontier offers a large enough selection to meet the needs and budget of any driver looking for a midsize pickup truck. This impressive pickup manages to stay ahead of the competition from its class, even the 2022 Chevy Colorado.


COMPARING THE SPECIFICATIONS OF THE 2022 FRONTIER VERSUS 2022 COLORADO

Despite the Frontier’s lead over the Colorado, the competition is fierce and each brand has its own group of loyal followers. Despite this, comparing the 2022 models of each vehicle clearly shows the advantage of the 2022 Nissan Frontier.

2022 Nissan Frontier

  • Engine Size: 3.8-liter
  • Cylinders: 4-cylinder/V6
  • Horsepower: 310 horsepower
  • Torque: 281 pound-feet
  • Transmission: nine-speed automatic transmission
  • Drivetrain: Rear-wheel/rear-wheel or four-wheel
  • Fuel Economy: 18 City/24 Highway
  • Towing: 6,720 pounds

2022 Chevrolet Colorado

  • Engine Size: 2.5-liter/3.6-liter
  • Cylinders: 4-cylinder/V6
  • Horsepower: 200 to 305 horsepower
  • Torque: 191/269 pound-feet
  • Transmission: 6-speed automatic (manual)
  • Drivetrain: Rear-wheel (four-wheel)
  • Fuel Economy: 19 City/25 Highway
  • Towing: 7,000 pounds

The engine of the Nissan Frontier is slightly more powerful giving more bang for your buck, and more power and torque for their dollar. Although the maximum towing abilities of the Chevy are slightly higher, this minimal number doesn't make a large difference in practical situations, and the towing abilities of the standard engine on the Nissan Frontier are much greater. As either vehicles offer similar fuel efficiency numbers due to their smaller-sized nature, it makes sense to select the one that will save you money initially.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU SIT IN THE 2022 NISSAN FRONTIER

With two spacious cabins to choose from, sitting inside of the 2022 Nissan Frontier will feel like you are in a full-size sedan or SUV instead of a pickup truck. The Crew Cab in particular is ideal for those who want to truly feel as if they are in a standard sedan or SUV on their way to a nearby hiking, fishing, or camping destination in the mountains.


HAULING AND TOWING ABILITIES IN THE 2022 FRONTIER

All King Cab models come with a spacious 6.1-foot cargo bed, while Crew Cabs give the choice of this bed or a smaller 5-foot one, so you can select the maximum storage you need while still maintaining the compact size of the truck to make parking easier.

THE TOP SAFETY FEATURES IN THE PICKUP MARKET

All manufacturers will claim that their vehicle, whether a pickup truck, sedan, or SUV, will keep passengers safe, but few have the statistics and features to back up their statements. Every single 2022 Frontier, however, comes standard with front seat side airbags, full-length side curtain airbags, stability control, a limited-slip differential that is brake activated, and antilock disc brakes. You can even add on a rearview camera and rear parking sensors to make parking and reversing your truck significantly easier. No wonder the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety gave the Frontier multiple "Good" ratings, its highest option.
