On-Road Ready

As the sun crests the horizon and with a thermos of coffee in hand, you head to your truck to start your day. The Nissan Frontier and the Chevy Colorado deliver the power needed to conquer whatever the day may bring. Even though different engines power them, you’ll find comparable specs across the board:

• 310 horsepower
• Towing capacity over 7,000 pounds^**
• Choice between rear-wheel drive or optional 4-wheel drive

While similar in many ways, the Frontier offers a unique advantage with its 9-speed automatic transmission. With more gear changes than the Colorado, you’ll likely experience quicker, more seamless shifts, which may help you reach your ideal speed faster.

Going Beyond the Norm

Not one to be contained to well-trodden paths, your truck must greet rough roads with a smile. The Nissan Frontier and the Chevy Colorado include off-road-ready trim levels for the most adventurous-at-heart driver. The Nissan Frontier PRO-4X and the Chevy Colorado ZR2 are top picks, thanks to their use of protective underbody skid plates, all-terrain tires, and electronic-locking rear differentials.

The Frontier PRO-4X and the Colorado ZR2 have a standard Hill Descent Control system that locks your truck at low speed so you can focus on maneuvering rather than braking.

Only the Frontier PRO-4X comes with Hill Start Assist, which prevents rollback when ascending a steep incline. This extra feature may seem small, but it has a significant impact on the off-roading experience.

Constant Connectivity

No matter where your day may take you, the Nissan Frontier and the Chevy Colorado keep you constantly connected, thanks to their modern infotainment systems. Either truck is paired with Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, so you can send text messages or launch downloaded apps without touching your device.

Each truck may come with these basic connective features, but it’s the standard and optional additions found exclusively with NissanConnect® Services that streamline every moment behind the wheel:

• Nissan Door to Door Navigation
• SiriusXM® Premium Traffic and Travel Link
• Advanced security features like My Car Finder and Curfew Alert

It’s these features that help keep you connected to loved ones, even when you’re miles from home, and add invaluable peace of mind.

Built for the Modern Hustle

DIY home renovations, weekend tailgates, and a championship youth baseball game can pop up on your calendar, but you’ll always feel prepared with the Nissan Frontier or the Chevy Colorado by your side. Each truck is built with today’s needs in mind, meaning either truck will help you accomplish every item on your to-do list with ease.

Regardless of which truck you choose, these optional features help streamline every task:

• Spray-on bedliner to keep the truck protected from rust, dents, and scratches.
• 120V bed outlet to power small tools or a portable air compressor.
• Cargo bed LED lighting system to help you complete each task even after sunset.

Each truck also has its own cargo management system. The Colorado features 17 available tie-downs, but it’s the Frontier’s available Utili-track® Channel System that offers true versatility. Three channels and cleats make it easy to secure items of all sizes, such as a portable generator or a large dirt bike. Each cleat is rated to secure up to 200 pounds, so even heavy tools stay securely in place.

Every Day Feels Effortless

For a life constantly on the move, the cabin of your Nissan Frontier or Chevy Colorado may feel like a second living room. With mindful design and comfort elements, each cabin provides a space for you to relax and unwind amid your busy day. Available heated front seats can help keep muscles relaxed.

Despite these similarities, it’s the Frontier that may be more comfortable, thanks to its innovative Zero Gravity Front Seats. Ergonomically designed using the NASA-measured “neutral position,” these Nissan-exclusive seats factor in the bearing capacity of the body and create a seat design that best reflects the human body’s neutral posture.

This helps provide continuous support from the hips to the back. The result is fewer pressure points, even when you’ve driven many miles and are only halfway through your commute.

Your Extra Set of Eyes

When you have a full plate, the Nissan Frontier and the Chevy Colorado keep your confidence high, thanks to a diverse suite of advanced driver-assist features. Regardless of which truck you choose, the Frontier and the Colorado come standard with brand-specific versions of these features:

• Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection
• High Beam Assist
• Lane Departure Warning

Yet, it's the Intelligent Forward Collision Warning system, exclusive to the Frontier, that offers greater peace of mind. Unlike the Colorado’s forward-monitoring system, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning monitors up to two cars ahead. This delivers more driving data and, as a result, maximizes reaction time in the event of sudden deceleration.
