If you want a pickup truck with tremendous off-road capability, a muscular engine, and a stylish interior, get the new Nissan Frontier. This midsize truck has more standard horsepower and torque than most of its competitors. Honolulu drivers will like its freshly redesigned cabin, which now sports a more handsome, modern look. Read the following comparison from New City Nissan to see how the Frontier measures up against its rivals from Chevy, Ford, and Toyota.
Standard Horsepower
You’ll want your truck to have plenty of zip for merging onto the highways in Honolulu. While most midsize trucks come with a four-cylinder engine, the new Nissan Frontier comes with a V6 motor that generates 310 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque.
By comparison:
- The Chevy Colorado’s standard engine makes 200 horsepower.
- The Ford Ranger’s base motor puts out 270 horsepower.
- The Toyota Tacoma’s entry-level powertrain produces 159 horsepower.
Standard Towing Capacity
With most midsize trucks, you have to buy a higher trim to get a decent towing capacity. Honolulu drivers who often pull small boats or campers will appreciate that the new Nissan Frontier’s entry-level S trim can tow up to 6,720 pounds.
By comparison:
- The Chevy Colorado can tow only 3,500 pounds when equipped with its base engine.
- The Ford Ranger’s standard towing capacity is also 3,500 pounds.
- The Toyota Tacoma can only tow 3,500 pounds in models with the standard four-cylinder motor.
Technology
Honolulu drivers will have peace of mind knowing that the new Nissan Frontier comes with more standard driver-assist features than most midsize trucks. Its class-exclusive Intelligent Forward Collision Warning feature warns you of an impending collision and applies the brakes in certain situations.
By comparison:
- The Chevy Colorado only comes standard with a rearview camera and Teen Driver. You have to pay more to add forward collision warning to the Colorado because it’s optional.
- The Ford Ranger comes with forward collision warning, but it doesn’t automatically apply the brakes like the Frontier’s does.
- The Toyota Tacoma has a forward collision warning system that’s similar to the Ford Ranger’s.
