2024 Chevy Colorado vs 2024 Nissan Frontier: Which Truck Is Best?

[@Ichibuns]

The Frontiers powertrain has been solid. Frontier all the way, while it still has the V6.

[@soulcapitalist6204]

We are running Frontiers about 800 mi a day as a little fleet. Pretty solid, especially compared to full size dodge 💥

[@TjSoto]

A few weeks ago I did this exact comparison. Drove home in the Pro4x and couldn't be happier, such a solid truck.

[@lambertrodriguez1057]

same here traded my fully loaded 2020 mustang gt no lookin back now

[@02PSU]

Almost the same for me. Drove the Colorado Trail Boss and Pro 4X and went with the Frontier.

[@keatonwilliams9071]

Same!! Badass

[@garydale8874]

Bought a pro4x in 22, 31,000miles now, been great , no issues at all, still solid, no squeaks,or rattles. Will probably get a 2025 when they come out, with same engine, don't want a turbo

[@sigs13nt]

Just bought a Nissan Pro 4X today. I saw so many comments on YT saying how nice it is to drive and I'll admit I was shocked how nice this truck is. Tons of tech (in my model at least) but also simple to use. First Nissan truck since my old 94 Hardbody. Glad to be back. Do yourself a favor and just test drive one. I think you'll be surprised. Thanks for the all the videos that I watched on your channel Ben.

[@edaddyx2hansonjr436]

Drove a 23 taco, 23 colorado and a 23 frontier all same day, back to back to back. Taco drove like shit. Slow. Terrible brake pedal feel. Sloppy on road handling. Chevy has the best brakes. Quickest/torque! Ride was solid and planted. Bold styling. Surprisingly comfy seats and driving position. Tech was top notch. Frontier rode about the same. Not as planted as chevy but still stabil. Brakes were good. Tech was bad and camera was laughably terrible-like 144p resolution. Steering was heavy but i was used to it after a test drive. Good power but the torque isnt there. Went with the chevy. Taco eliminated itself before we left the parking lot. Frontier tech and lower torque (also low stance) took it out of the race. Happy with my Colorado. My drive to work everyday and back is great.

[@jc6618]

I have a pro 4x and yeah the camera is poor quality but I absolutely love the truck overall, congrats on your new Colorado!

Pro 4 X all day. Naturally aspirated V6, hydraulic steering, smooth as butter 9 speed transmission. No fancy gimmicks and enough tech to keep it modern. Great all round truck.

[@dcl97]

There are all sorts of TSB's on the 9 speed, most of which don't solve it's harsh shifting issues. The trans is probably the single biggest issue with these trucks.

The frontier has just enough tech to make us a good truck for the next 10yrs. The frontier looks wayyy better and will be more reliable. Overall I think the frontier is now the best midsize truck to buy overall.

[@WillyD1]

Me too

[@danielmclinn5963]

But will the tech allow it to run for 10 years? Just got one myself. After joint the groups the tech seems to be the only thing causing these trucks problems.

[@Offshore1977]

I agree, I like the Frontier interior. For the price I’d choose Frontier. But if money was not a factor then I’d go for GMC Canyon AT4X.

[@Akecherfd8424]

8:12 the view of the snow covered mountains beautiful. The Nissan simplicity inside with the old analog speedometer vs the Chevy digital everything is the better choice. V6 vs 4cyl makes it easier to choose the Nissan. For those who want digital everything with the eventual microchip planted in the brain get the Chevy.

[@TheLostSquadron]

I made this exact comparison while checking out the currently unreleased Colorado at a car show. I was 90% sure I was getting the NIssan because I didn't want a turbo 4 banger. Sitting in them side by side at the show changed my mind. The Colorado interior is MILES ahead of the Nissan. The Frontier still may be more reliable (who knows), but the interior feels 10 years old already.

[@Blue-moon12]

Guarantee the Frontier interior will hold up better. It's an old school truck, with modern touches. It's a great and reliable truck so far

[@TheLostSquadron]

@@Blue-moon12Yea, if I wanted an ancient truck I would have bought one I guess. Nissan is lagging behind because of lack of money. They tanked the Titan because they couldn't compete. Hopefully the Frontier isn't next.

GM just put a recall out for cracked blocks.

[@davidwethington9320]

​@@josephmucaria4808 for bad castings. They're replacing them with new engines. However it's 12 trucks total. Yup 12.

[@Ldiepian]

I'm definitely happy with my 23 Pro4x, especially at $38k. All the new tech is cool but coming from a 2017 vehicle, even the Nissan stuff is nicer than what I had. I dream of a Tacoma, but 50k+ for a midsize truck is absurd

[@gabemord5088]

Lease the chevy, buy the Frontier. The frontier will last you 20 years easily

[@soulcapitalist6204]

We're actually leasing Frontiers and bought 2 so far. I doesn't seem wise to buy the turbos for fleet.

[@kennak476]

I like the styling of the Chevy better but as the owner of a ‘22 Frontier SV like you said it will be reliable and last longer. I have had only one recall for some with a defective parking pawl. You didn’t mention the Pro4X has a locking rear diff as opposed to an automatic on the Chevy. Also I believe the headlight switch is all done thru the touch screen on the Chevy which bugs me.

[@richshan529]

If I didn't already own a 2021 Nissan Titan, I would definitely consider buying one of these Frontiers. Tried and true truck technology (engine, transmission) and I love the steering system that my Titan has on it. As for the Colorado, I do like the styling but I hate that you have to go into an infotainment system to operate the lights. More importantly, I understand that some of these new Colorado/Canyon twins are having their roofs leak/separate on owners who have simply run them through a car wash. So yeah, it would definitely be the Nissan for me.

[@OldEucadian]

Definitely Frontier

[@knowsbeans]

Have a Titan pro4x and love the heavy steering. Feels like a truck and feels sturdy. Less cheap feeling then ultra light steering

[@williammortl3110]

I trust that Nissan V6 way more than the I4 turbo in the Colorado. The high output version of that I4 is the base engine in the Silverado - and it’s been nothing but trouble.

[@dvader3263]

Pulling a trailer over mountain roads, the 3.8 V6 will be screaming at 3,500 to 4,500 RPM, while the 2.7 liter 4 banger will be loafing along at 2,200 RPM not breaking a sweat. Low RPM torque and power is the reason for getting a turbo.

[@deanmay338]

Both trucks look good despite their aesthetics differences on the exterior. Both interiors are nice as well despite the Colorado being more modern. I like the Frontier’s proven power train, but 1100 lbs of payload is unacceptable for my needs of camping gear, shell, tongue weight from our small camper, passengers, dog, etc. I want about 1,500 lbs of payload. The Colorado has superior payload and better tow capacity. But, GM trucks are among the worst in terms of reliability. I am buying at the end of 2024. I will check out both along with all other mid-size trucks. If GM has addressed its reliability issues, the Colorado (Canyon) would be hard to beat in terms of capability, aesthetics, functionality, etc. But, is it reliable?

There are several Nissan dealers who don’t charge a “Dealer Fee” while all Chevy dealers charge on average $599.

[@aerynlovell4754]

You said the horsepower is the same but car manufacturers measure peak horsepower. On a turbocharged engine the horsepower is significantly lower until the turbo kicks in then horsepower drops off again after peak boost. The turbo also increases heat and pressure in the combustion chamber. To protect the turbocharged engine and prevent knock extra fuel is sprayed in to cool the combustion chamber. The extra fuel isn't burned and is dumped into the exhaust. Since turbocharged engines use fuel as a coolant you will never get great fuel economy in a turbocharged truck. The body on mid-sized trucks are heavy and hauling or towing will make it harder to control heat in a turbocharged truck. A naturally aspirated engine doesn't have a problem with knock and has a more useful torque curve.

I'm just watching on my phone so maybe this is inaccurate, but to me the Nissan V6 has so much nicer of a sound than the Chevy's 4 cylinder.
