Interior & Exterior Design

The 2022 Frontier returns with a striking exterior boasting a futuristic front end, LED lighting, a muscular, chiseled hood, and several sleek steel and alloy wheel designs. In other words, this Nissan pickup looks every bit the part of a capable pickup truck, with an extra dash of modernity making it one of the most stunning models in its class. The 2022 Ford Ranger, by comparison, hits the market with a striking exterior of its own, but it may come off a little gaudy to those looking for a more classic pickup.

As for its interior, the new Frontier offers Nissan's cushy Zero Gravity seats in both four- and five-seat cab configurations, as well as available heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and plenty of handy storage solutions.

In addition to its comfortable and practical layout, the 2022 Frontier includes a modern dash design and plenty of soft-touch materials for an upscale experience. The 2022 Ford Ranger, however, finds itself lacking in quality interior materials, with reviews taking issue with its bland cabin design.

Performance

Nissan's 2022 Frontier hits the market with plenty of brawn in a 3.8-litre V6 engine with 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. A nine-speed automatic transmission accounts for smooth shifts and enhances acceleration with a trailer hitched, while communicative steering and a composed ride give the Frontier one of the most refined rides in its class. In addition to its excellent off-road capability, this new Nissan truck boasts a solid towing capacity of 6,490 pounds and a payload of 1,430. The 2022 Ranger, by comparison, packs a full 40 horses less than the Frontier, and while its athletic ride is nothing to scoff at, this Ford pickup lacks the off-roading prowess of many popular rivals, the Frontier included.

Safety Features

Both these 2022 trucks offer various safety and driver-assist functions, but while the Ford Ranger comes with a few of the basics, the Nissan Frontier's available Safety Shield 360 suite has something for every driving scenario. Automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, and lane-departure warning are all included in the Frontier's lineup of available features, as is rear automatic emergency braking, a rarity for the segment. In short, this 2022 Nissan truck does its part to clear your head at the wheel, whether you're on or off the pavement.
