How Nissan Frontier Is Better Than the Toyota Tacoma

While there’s no denying the Toyota Tacoma is a popular truck, it’s really starting to show its age. After all, its last redesign was in 2016, which means it’s long overdue for some updates. That’s where the 2022 Nissan Frontier comes in. This powerhouse of a truck has been completely redesigned for 2022, featuring incredible power and all the safety and infotainment tech you’re looking for. Here’s how the 2022 Nissan Frontier outshines its closest competitor—the Toyota Tacoma.

Engine

The new 2022 Nissan Frontier is a true powerhouse, with the engine to prove it. A 3.8-liter V6 comes standard in every new Frontier, and it produces an impressive 310 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque. While Toyota gives you a choice of engines in the Tacoma, neither of them even comes close to the power you get in the Frontier. The best engine you can get in the Tacoma is a 3.5-liter V6 that only puts out 278 hp. It only has a six-speed transmission, too, compared to the 9-speed that comes standard in the Frontier. In terms of power and performance, the Frontier is the clear winner.

Fuel Economy

With all that power in the Frontier, you might think you’d have to sacrifice fuel economy. Luckily, you don’t. The Frontier gets 20 mpg in combined city/highway driving with rear-wheel drive and an average of 19 mpg in four-wheel drive. This is completely in line with the Toyota Tacoma, but you get the advantage of an extra-powerful engine.

Comfortable Interior

In terms of driver and passenger comfort, the Frontier is the clear winner, yet again. The 2022 Nissan Frontier’s redesign includes Zero-Gravity seat technology that enhances comfort and reduces fatigue. There are also touches of luxury in the Frontier’s cabin that you won’t see in the Tacoma, like premium upholstery with Lava Red stitching. There’s also the state-of-the-art sound deadening system, so you and your passengers can count on a quiet ride, whether you’re zipping down the highway or heading off-road.

Safety and Infotainment Tech

Compared to the Toyota Tacoma, the 2022 Nissan Frontier is a thoroughly modern truck. As with all Nissan models, safety comes standard in the Frontier. You get a rearview monitor, automated emergency braking, trailer sway control, advanced forward collision warning and so much more, all standard.

The Frontier also comes with an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a step above the Tacoma’s smaller screen. The system is also more intuitive and easier-to-use, which means staying connected on the go is much simpler in the all-new Frontier.

The 2022 Nissan Frontier Stands Above the Toyota Tacoma

The 2022 Nissan Frontier is clearly the better choice compared to the outdated Toyota Tacoma. Whether you’re looking for more power, a more comfortable ride, or standard infotainment—or all of the above—the Frontier has you covered.
