2024 Ford Ranger vs 2024 Nissan Frontier: Well Ford Tried

[@mtaylor6296]

I'd take the Frontier over the Ranger, because it is so old-school (V-6, simple gauges, right-sized center screen). I don't like the Ranger's digital gauge cluster or the oversized portrait-style center stack (I do like the key ignition though).

I've owned three rangers in my lifetime. I liked all three of them. I miss my 85' to this very day. I was recently in the market for a new vehicle and my wife begged me to wait for the ranger to come out. As soon as I saw that screen I knew it wasn't for me. I was 100% committed to buying a new Pro 4x because of it's old school charm. I even test drove one and was amazed how quickly it felt like home, and that it didn't feel like a test drive. However I ended up getting a GMC Acadia AT4. If I ever get a new midsize truck the Nissan is the only one I would take serious. And from what I can tell the guys in my town are catching on too. Im starting to see a lot more frontiers.

[@Packerfan-qc6cs]

I have the 2023 pro4x and love it. Perfect mix of old and new. Only thing i hated was the auto off, which can be locked on by inserting a tie wrap end under the button. Now every thing is great! I love having a cable emergency brake vs. the electronic one and the screen has a nicer look. Wireless car play works well!

[@tntrailrider7379]

I went with the pro 4x because of the price, features and NA V6. Thanks for the review.

[@lucianoosorio5942]

Nissan Frontier for the win. Next gen frontier, they need to keep the v6 and this time add some cooled seats and add more trims. I would buy it if they had that. Heck, maybe a Nismo trim which is an off-road sport truck and maybe later some with a supercharger. For how much you spend the ranger it should have offered cooled seats, especially if you spent much more on a ranger raptor. Everyone is going turbo like king candy

Bought a 2024 frontier 4x4 sv kingcab last month. Love it. Did not a want a turbo 4.

[@spyder000069]

1100 lb payload on the frontier is a problem. Passengers count toward payload. Add a trailer with a couple of side by sides behind it you are looking at 450 lbs tongue weight and that has to come off of payload as well. You are going to be maxed out or over. Plus no integrated trailer brake controller. Sure you can add one but typically the integrated controllers work with vehicle computer to provide some sway control for added safety. I think the ranger is slightly wider as well which adds towing stability. I like the looks of the nissan, the NA v6, and the interior design but its hard to deny that the ranger has a lot of compelling features. The ford app is free and lets you remote start from it as well as located the vehicle via gps and see things such as fuel level, oil change status, and more. I think between these two its close but when the 2.7 v6 rangers finally come out I think the advantage will go to ford even if you have to gamble on recalls and reliability. Typically you can extend ford's full warranty out to 7 years for around $1800 which gives enough time to unload the vehicle if its a headache.

[@AyaWetts]

Payload depends on the configuration... the crew cab and short bed and some extra offroad stuff and 4x4 decrease the payload. Thats the lowest payload configuration from what I remember at 1100. Some configs can get up to 1620 lbs payload.

[@boxer4engine]

Frontier is the new mid size king. That NA-V6 is a gem in a world of boosted 4 cylinders

[@jbrou123]

That Frontier has a lot going for it, except I don't care for the exterior styling, but the interior is more to my taste. A big plus for Nissan in my area, is that the local dealer has lifetime drivetrain warranty on all Nissans. Definitely something to think about.

[@gnic76]

I have the Nissan Pro 4x, the gearing has low end gearing which makes it a bit snappy when starting off from a stop. I like it how it drives, 6 cyl no turbo is great. I was driving a 06 Mazda B4000/Ford Ranger 4x4 6 cyl, before that.

That Nissan is sold in Latin America with the diesel engine. It’s a beast. Driving them with the manual transmission is delightful because you hear the turbo spinning down every time you press in the clutch. It’s like listening to a semi truck shifting and I happen to love that sound.

[@ChrisRobato]

To Nissan, Frontier is actually a larger class or subclass of pickup to the Ford Ranger which by definition is the embodiment of the Aussie Global ute. Direct competitors to that segment is the Toyota Hilux and the Nissan Navarra, which separated from the Frontier on this generation. Now that Navarra is a beaut that we wont see in US shores.

[@garys2157]

Yes the Ranger was designed in Australia. But just as the current Frontier was made bigger the Ranger was also enlarged, not counting the six foot bed Frontier, and comparing to this Frontier the Ranger has a bit longer wheel base, is taller and wider, they are the same length, so no they are not in a different class of vehicles. Fun fact, every other midsize truck are bigger than these two, the Tacoma, the GM twins, the Ridgeline and Gladiator.

The 3rd Gen Frontier had 1 recall for parking paw in 2022 and none since. Easy fix. Ford has 10 million Lightnings they can’t sell. Corporate Ford is a dumpster fire. Now the fuel injectors are leaking and they can’t afford another recall. I would never buy another Ford.

[@iann.8088]

Honestly I’m taking the Ranger. I currently own a 2019 Ranger but just Turo’d a 2023 Pro 4x Frontier in Utah for 2 weeks, mostly to test drive one. The Frontier has a better Cabin space/layout, looks, slightly better ride quality, price and simpler engine. Ranger has better power delivery, tech, payload, towing and importantly seats. The Frontier just wasn’t comfortable. And once the Ranger releases with the 2.7 that’s a cherry on top.

[@RichardBO9]

Not understanding how the Ford has less hp and yet more towing and payload. I kinda have it narrowed down to these two trucks but am still undecided. The nearest Nissan dealer is 110 miles away. Nearest Ford dealer is 35 miles away. I am at a bad point in life to be buying a truck, but my 2016 F150 with 227,000 miles was hit by a deer which has forced going to Plan B. 🤔

[@deanmay338]

467 lb difference in payload! Drop the mic!!! I prefer the exterior styling of the Frontier. Love the look. Interior very nice as well in the Frontier despite the infotainment being a bit dated. I am buying at the end of the year with the purpose of replacing our midsize V8 SUV that tows our camper. I need a truck with 1500 lbs of payload. The Frontier’s payload of 1100 lbs is a deal breaker. Similar problem with the new Tacoma. I have not seen a Tacoma with more than 1200 lbs of payload. I need function in a truck and 1100 lbs of payload will not do it. If I was not towing or hauling and did more off-roading, sure the Pro 4X would be nice. Give me the Ranger in this comparison.

[@itsallminor6133]

If it helps. I've way overloaded the frontier many times. I have no idea where they come up with that number I ignore it

[@AyaWetts]

Thats just that package... the lowest payload you can get listed is 1100 on that 4X4 offroad deal. There is a Frontier my friend is looking at getting, made for the road, and hauling and it lists 1620 lbs payload. Its a King Cab, not the crew cab... with a 6 foot bed and 4x2... designed more to be a normal road hauling truck and not some offroad adventure thing

[@sudoh89]

This doesn’t seem like much of a fair comparison. You chose a pro4x frontier and compared it a near base model ranger. 2024 ranger offers a 2.7l V6 now and if you’re comparing highest trim level, the ranger raptor would be a closer comparison

[@garys2157]

Exactly, you have no idea where they come up with the numbers! These companies are not just making up random numbers for fun, the engineers have a threshold of what is safe and for vehicle reliability with sustained usage. You may use a vehicle overloaded and have no problem, but if you were ever pulled over by a LEO or had any kind of accident while overloaded you could end up fined or the other end of a charge or lawsuit, also if you had vehicle failures, a possible voided warranty.

[@itsallminor6133]

@@garys2157 I'm guessing depends on the company. Nissan may stay on the conservative side. Maybe they base it as you overheat the brakes coming down a mountain pass then try to slam them on from doing 75, mph while you simultaneously hit a 2 foot elevated frost heave and still being able to stop within a reasonable distance (part of which is in the air) on red hot brakes to avoid hitting the car stopped in front of you as you round a corner sideways fully locked up.

I feel the Nissan is really dated and plain looking, especially in the interior. Not much style to the door panels at all there. Plus, the Ranger is faster, it has at least 1000 lbs more towing capacity, and it gets better fuel economy. Could it be the Nissan infotainment system is easier to use because it doesn't do much? Perhaps you should explore all the features in the infotainment systems. The Ranger does a lot of cool stuff like zone lighting and allows you to give feedback on driving experience directly to Ford corporate. From everything I've seen in these truck comparisons, the Nissan doesn't hold a candle to the Ford.

Your butt dyno is way off the Frontier is over a second slower to 60 than the Ranger. TFL did a drag race between all the Mid sizes trucks and the Ranger clean house. The ranger with the 2.7 V6 should be a rocket in the Mid size class.

If the nissan was closer to 36 it would fly off the shelf.

You can get the exact one he showed for $38K with current discounts.

[@dominionn09]

Any word on if Nissan is going to change things up for the 25 model year?

[@richardlively1666]

Yes, front end refresh and possible rear end, thats all I heard

[@dominionn09]

@@richardlively1666 Man I really hope they don't F up the front end because that's the one thing that really attracts me to this current model😩

[@evancontos2267]

Dear Santa, Hoping for the Pro-4X in extended cab like Canada has, power rear sliding window & vented seats!!!!!!!!

[@AyaWetts]

The pictures captured of camouflaged test vehicles show very little change... there may be some things with headlights a bit, and a grill pattern change... doesn't look like anything major. They might change up the dash a lot though, apparently it was camouflaged out too to hide it.

[@sharkskin3448]

Ridgeline is bigger than either of these and has a better engine.

[@itsallminor6133]

Not better than the Nissan. Ridgeline is great and reliable but the timing belt vs Nissan timing chain

Go Utah! ❤️

[@chileshemubanga3594]

It's funny how you Americans think,before the other mid-size pick-ups were refreshed everybody was bashing the Frontier but now all are heaping praise on it(trends).😅😂

[@retiredafce3373]

You should check out the Ram 2500 Tradesman with the Power Wagon package!!!

Ford ecoboost is garbage. They make us a lot of money at the shop though.... Thanks Ford! The Frontier is probably the only option now with everyone else using turbo 4's. The good old days of these small trucks going 300k+ miles with simple cheap maintenance are over.

[@ThomasVMan]

I'd take the Ranger over the Frontier. It's much more modern with everything - and the powertrain has proven to be very reliable. And the 2.7L V6 EcoBoost will be a game changer. The Frontier is a very good looking truck but the payload is very limiting, especially if you want to tow anything, even a small trailer.

[@AyaWetts]

There has been nothing proven to be "very reliable" I've read its had many issues... and that low payload and towing is just that one offroad set up 4x4 config because of how its set up. Depending on configuration the Frontier can be up to 1620 lbs payload... maximum tow weight can get up to is 6640 lbs

[@ThomasVMan]

@@AyaWetts All it takes is some Internet research to find the 2.3L EcoBoost to be very reliable. Many people have reported 200K miles with no major issues. Get whatever floats your boat.

[@ajmedeiros77]

Older Gen Nissans were super reliable, but the new garbage. The new 2024 ranger has fixed kits of the problems of the ranger.

[@stacymanley161]

Had the Nissan didn’t like it

[@christopherkozal7987]

I wouldn’t buy the Ranger just based off of the annoying, cheap Ford door chime. I hate it! They’ve used it for over 15 years in all their vehicles. I know because I had a cheap ass Focus long-term rental back in 2009, when I wrecked my car. Listening to that cheap sounding door chime for a couple months broke me of driving Fords. Why they haven’t changed it, I have no idea.

[@michaelbury1941]

Me too I know! It sounds like cheap plastic toys!
