While many people fawn over light or heavy duty trucks, an untapped classification of pickup truck is waiting to be utilized by those who want everything great about owning a truck without any of the hassle. You might be trying to decide between the 2019 Chevy Colorado vs 2019 Nissan Frontier. Mid-sized trucks like the 2019 Chevy Colorado and the 2019 Nissan Frontier are the perfect option for anyone who loves the feel and look of a truck, but may not need the overload of power and would prefer to enjoy the smoother driving experience. That being said, while they may both be excellent models and more compact than many other trucks, most drivers only have room for one in their life.
The 2019 Chevy Colorado is often overlooked due to the success of Chevy’s star pickup, the Silverado, but this has no reflection on how impressive the 2019 Colorado truly is from power to practicality. If you need something that knows how to get the job done by day but knows how to have fun by night, there is no truck more balanced. The 2019 Colorado is capable of catering to your everyday life and has the similar bold style as its full-size counterpart. When it comes to pickup trucks, this model never fails to give you everything you love in your truck, and provides nothing you dislike.
The 2019 Nissan Frontier attempted to create a cheap and tech-savvy pickup truck. The design can be considered modern and tough, but the performance and size are far from intimidating when compared to the force of the 2019 Colorado. Towing potential, fuel efficiency, horsepower, torque, and overall dimensions all fall short for this model, but those who are looking for a low price-point and some modern touches can most certainly find satisfaction in this mid-size pickup truck.
While this choice may seem difficult, the facts are generally in favor of the 2019 Chevy Colorado for the majority of drivers who wish to own an all-around balanced truck that is designed for everyday life.
The 2019 Chevy Colorado is designed with drivers in mind as it takes on an attitude of both fun and function. For a pickup truck, you won’t find a more stylish model as it mixes sleekness and boldness perfectly in order to create a picture perfect example of its class. Those that desire something compact enough to handle, like an SUV, but still manage to sport all the stunning and intimidating truck features that make you feel powerful while on the road will admire everything the 2019 Colorado has to offer.
When it comes to configurations, the 2019 Colorado comes in either a standard two-door extended cab with a long bed or the more bulky four-door crew cab model with the choice of a short or long bed. The long bed is a hearty 74 inches while the short is a fair 61.70 inches. This bed also comes with a large work-boot ready corner step that will make accessing the bed easier. The body can also be found in any number of classic or unique colors from Crush Orange to Summit White to fit in or stand out.
All-in-all this is a truck that is ready to make a statement that says rugged good looks and endless functionality.
The 2019 Nissan Frontier is a stunning example of a truly intimidating pickup despite its compact size. If any Nissan model knows how to stand out, it would be most certainly this truck. The lights are large and linked to a unique grille that delivers one cohesive design that is the clear focal point. While the 2019 Colorado offers everyday charm, the 2019 Frontier delivers a bolder take on life that some will love and others will find out of place.
As for configurations, the 2019 Frontier offers the same general options as the 2019 Colorado, but with a different name and measurements. The standard 2019 Frontier is called the King Cab with a long 73.3-inch bed, while the other options are crew cabs with either a 59.5-inch bed or the 73.3-inch bed.
All-in-all it’s a tough piece of machinery that will impress some with its bold design choices.
The 2019 Chevy Colorado is available with three engine options that never fail to impress. This includes a standard, advanced, and alternative fuel option. The standard engine is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 200 hp and 191 lb-ft of torque with a 6-speed auto transmission. This is for drivers who want to stay affordable and efficient. The advanced option is a 3.6L V6 that roars with 308 hp and 275 lb-ft of torque with an 8-speed auto transmission. This is for the drivers to get the full might of the 2019 Colorado with up to 7,700 pounds of towing potential. The alternative fuel option for $3,500 is a 2.8L turbo-diesel 4-cylinder engine that impresses drivers with 181 hp and 369 lb-ft of torque. This is ideal for anyone who cares the about fuel they use and is much more efficient than traditional gas-powered engines and has the added bonus of 30 MPG on the highway. It should be noted that Frontier does not offer a comparable diesel engine.
In addition to these engines the 2019 Colorado also can handle some of the roughest roads with the 4WD model, but if you don’t need that much terrain control the 2WD allows for a smoother ride. Basically, this is an extremely versatile and dependable ride.
The 2019 Nissan Frontier offers drivers the choice between two engine options. The standard choice that comes with lower trim levels is a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that delivers 152 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque. If that is not enough, those that feel the need for more power will want to upgrade to a higher trim level in order to get the 4.0L V6 engine with a hearty 261 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque. The 2019 Frontier comes with either a 5-speed automatic transmission or a 5 or 6-speed manual transmission. A major downfall of this model is that it doesn’t have the most impressive fuel efficiency rating with only 23 MPG on the highway.
As with most pickups the 2019 Frontier has 4x4 technology for off-road capabilities. With this technology, drivers can seamlessly transition between driving modes and experience everything the world has to offer with few limitations.
Just because a truck is tough doesn’t mean it can’t also be comfortable and intelligent. With inlaid triple-sealed doors, a thick windshield, and side glass, and a liquid-applied sound deadener the 2019 Chevy Colorado has a silent cabin that keeps the roaring of the road far away. In additions to that, there are a number of tech features that will keep drivers and passengers alike entertained and protected.
The Chevy signature infotainment system operated through a touch-screen is one of the best as it easily connects to smartphones through integrated Bluetooth technology. This allows drivers the freedom to use their favorite apps from maps to music while being able to take calls and answer texts without your eyes leaving the road. As for safety technology, Chevy is all about advanced preventative measures that use that same infotainment system to alert drivers to any and all changes depending on which advanced features you invest in.
The 2019 Nissan Frontier applies a lot of its features into improving the performance, but it also has plenty of amenities that will make you feel secure and relaxed behind the wheel. Just as Chevy has its signature infotainment technology system at the front of the vehicle, Nissan has its own Nissan Intelligent Mobility system with NissanConnect. This also links to your phone and allows you to do a number of amazing and helpful things such as access directions and Google search with ease. Nissan also offers some advanced safety tech though you’ll have to invest in a higher trim level.
