2022 Ford Ranger vs. 2022 Nissan Frontier

The 2022 Nissan Frontier is notable for its calm and quiet cabin, outstanding towing capabilities and interior storage. But is this enough to top the 2022 Ford Ranger, a pickup truck with superb off-road handling, an attractive appearance and turbo performance?

Design & Style

The Ford Ranger is moderately sized which makes it ideal for daily commutes. It can also be equipped with numerous accessories that can extend its capabilities further, particularly when driving on rugged terrain. Grainy dark trim and painted plastic can be seen throughout the cabin, and buyers have the option of 4 wheel or rear drive. Its cab can be extended to offer a six foot bed which may be factory ordered with tie downs, an extender, bed mates and more.

The Nissan Frontier is also moderate in size and has received a number of ride improvements, which includes a higher strength ladder frame made from steel. It has a wheelbase of 126 inches with a bed that is six feet. Overall, it has a brawny exterior with fenders that are pronounced and a grille which sits beneath the extended and sculpted hood. Vertical style air slits and reddish tow hooks can also be seen.

Technology & Safety

Though the Nissan Frontier has yet to be crash tested by the NHTSA or IIHS, it is equipped with most modern safety features, including standard emergency brakes, blind area monitoring, automated high beams and lane departure alerts. Comforts within its cabin include a camera with surround view, Bluetooth, 4 USB ports, powered side mirrors, and navigation.

The Ford Ranger matches the Nissan Frontier when it comes to safety, as it offers all of the same features. This includes blind area monitoring, cruise control, emergency automated brakes, and more. Comforts within its cabin include USB ports, Bluetooth, keyless start, and the option of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto.

Performance

The Ford Ranger is powered by a turbo 4, 2.3 liter engine that can generate 270 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in around 7 seconds. It can tow a maximum of 7,500 pounds with a payload capacity of 1860 pounds. The Nissan Frontier is powered by a V6, 3.8 liter engine that can generate 310 horsepower with the ability to accelerate from zero to sixty in eight seconds, with a towing capacity of 6,570 pounds and a payload capacity of 1,480 pounds.

The Bottom Line

Despite being more affordable than the Nissan Frontier, the Ford Ranger offers superior towing and payload capacity and this alone gives it an unbeatable advantage over the Nissan Frontier, which has been criticized for its lack of Apple CarPlay wireless and higher floor for passengers in the backseat.
