Comparison Review

Comfort
The Toyota Tacoma will be a favorite with tall drivers and their passengers since it has much greater head- and legroom than the Nissan Frontier.

Convenience
The Nissan Frontier requires fewer stops at the gas station than the Toyota Tacoma, making it more convenient to drive.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Nissan Frontier is somewhat more expensive than the Toyota Tacoma.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan Frontier is much slimmer than the Toyota Tacoma, it'll be much easier to find a wide enough space in a crowded parking lot. When looking at overall length, the Nissan Frontier takes up about the same amount of space in your garage as the Toyota Tacoma.

Handling
The Nissan Frontier has a smaller turning radius than the Toyota Tacoma, allowing you to more easily get in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Nissan Frontier has a little more horsepower than the Toyota Tacoma.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Nissan Frontier doesn't do as good a job transmitting horsepower to its wheels as the Toyota Tacoma.

Utility
