PERFORMANCE
Toyota Tacoma

Adventure is all around you. It can be trips to the pond you frequented as a kid. It can be shopping sprees at a mall across town. It can be stargazing with your partner as you lie in the truck bed. No matter how you define adventure, the capabilities of these trucks will satisfy your adventure bug.

Make Power Moves

You want a capable truck, and that’s exactly what you’ll get with either model. Both pickups can be had with a potent V6 engine that generates over 260 lb-ft of torque. All that muscle will help haul heavy loads wherever you please. The Toyota Tacoma boasts a maximum towing capacity of 6,800 pounds. That edges out the Frontier, which tops off at 6,720 pounds.

If you’re leaving the trailer at home and packing up the truck bed, both models offer several tie-down cleats to secure your gear. They also offer similar payload capacities at just over 1,600 pounds.

Explore New Horizons

Both trucks also handle well on rough worksites, off-road trails, and tough turf. The Toyota Tacoma offers an available 4WDemand part-time 4WD (4-wheel drive) system that actively manages torque distribution to improve traction control when activated. The Nissan Frontier offers a similar, driver-selectable 4WD system.

CAPABILITY
Toyota Tacoma

You’re a go-getter. Once you put your mind to something, you go after it. Thanks to impressive fuel efficiencies and switchable drivetrains, the Toyota Tacoma and the Nissan Frontier can easily follow suit.

Control at the Drop of a Dime

One of the great things about the part-time 4WD system is that it’s only active when you want it to be. If you’re driving down a dry and sunny highway on a warm summer’s day, then you can keep your truck in 2-wheel drive (2WD) to conserve fuel and maximize efficiency.

The Frontier’s 4-wheel drive system is switch-activated as well, which means you can toggle your needed capability when necessary.

What Are the MPG Ratings?

Speaking of efficiency, it’s clear that the Tacoma pulls ahead when it comes to MPG ratings. With its rear-wheel drive configuration, it achieves an EPA-estimated 20 city/23 highway MPG.* The Frontier’s base configuration is only capable of an EPA-estimated 18 city/24 highway MPG.

These trucks are equipped with similar fuel tanks. The Tacoma holds 21.1 gallons , while the fuel tank on the Frontier has a comparable 21-gallon capacity.
