2024 Toyota Tacoma vs 2024 Nissan Frontier | Toyota
– [Narrator] The 2024 Toyota Tacoma versus the 2024 Nissan Frontier. Let’s learn a bit more about these midsize pickup trucks. With an expansive lineup, Tacoma offers something for every driver. The available i-FORCE MAX hybrid electric system and TRD grades emphasize Tacoma’s performance. Standard Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 gives Tacoma advanced driver assistance and active safety features on all grades. Now let’s put Tacoma and Frontier side by side. Tacoma’s lineup consists of eight grades, four of which are TRD models. Then there’s the new Trailhunter grade that was developed for activities like overlanding, a type of off-roading where the journey is the focal point. Five Tacoma models can be had with the available i-FORCE MAX hybrid electric powertrain.
Plus, there are two bed lengths and cab styles to choose from, as well as two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive configurations. For 2024, Frontier is available in six grades, including the new SL and Hardbody Edition. Two performance grades remain available, PRO-X and PRO-4X, the second of which comes standard with four-wheel drive.
There are also two cab styles to choose from, as well as two bed lengths. Tacoma’s performance impresses thanks to its new powertrains. This starts with the i-FORCE 2.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine with up to 278 horsepower and 317 pound-feet of torque. Select grades can also be had with the i-FORCE MAX hybrid electric powertrain, which produces up to 326 horsepower and 465 pound-feet of torque.
This is complemented by a lifted suspension that includes adjustable Fox shocks on TRD Pro, or Old Man Emu shocks on Trailhunter, and available rugged terrain tires that facilitate maximum grip on the road surface. The available Multi-Terrain Select and Crawl Control system that works in four-high and four-low take Tacoma’s
Off-road performance to new heights, while four-wheel demand part-time four-wheel drive with a two-speed transfer case and an automatic limited-slip differential ensure power is put to the wheels effectively. On the other hand, the Limited grade’s available Adaptive Variable Suspension enhances Tacoma’s on-road performance, especially when combined with the available full-time four-wheel drive system
And center locking differential on the Limited i-FORCE MAX hybrid EV model. Finally, in addition to the standard eight-speed automatic transmission, an available six-speed manual on gas SR, TRD Sport, and TRD Off-Road grades allow the driver to take full control of shifting duties and Tacoma’s turbocharged power.
Frontier is powered by a 3.8-liter V6 engine with 310 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque. Unlike Tacoma, Frontier is not available with a hybrid EV powertrain. Bilstein shocks are available but only on the PRO-X and PRO-4X models. Meanwhile, four-wheel drive models feature a two-speed transfer case and an available electronic locking rear differential
On the PRO-4X grade. However, a nine-speed automatic is the only transmission. Tacoma balances capability with bold styling. This starts with the standard LED headlights, which are uniquely styled to stand out. Higher grades can be had with premium LED headlights that further enhance Tacoma’s design, alongside the available 18-inch alloy wheels. These attractive looks are backed by functionality, thanks to available skid plates on select grades
That protect the underbody, as well as other useful features like an available deck rail system, an available 2400-watt AC power supply on i-FORCE MAX EV models, and an available power up/down tailgate. Trailhunter takes design to new heights with additions like an ARB Sport Bar, and a low-profile, high-mount air intake.
Frontier also has LED headlights, but they’re only available on the SL, PRO-X, and PRO-4X grades. In terms of available wheel options, Frontier can be had with 17-inch alloy wheels on the SV grade and up. Select grades can also be equipped with the Utili-track Channel System with two adjustable tie-down cleats,
And a bed-mounted 120-volt AC power outlet. However, it’s clear that Frontier can’t match Tacoma’s available power/up down tailgate. For 2024, the Hardbody Edition joins the lineup, it features black exterior accents, off-road rails, black decals, mudflaps, and a sport bar. The inside of Tacoma balances a rugged exterior by offering exceptional comfort and convenience. Take the available power-adjustable front seats that can be had with heating and ventilation, and the available heated steering wheel, which ensure there are plenty of ways to stay comfortable on adventures. Tacoma TRD Pro takes this one step further
With its IsoDynamic Performance front seats, which help isolate front passengers from impacts during off-road driving. For added convenience, the Smart Key System makes entering and exiting the vehicle a breeze, while the available Digital Key on select grades lets owners share access to their truck via the Toyota app
With an active Remote Connect trial or subscription. This comfort is complemented by versatility in the form of available 60/40 split, folding rear seats with available under-seat storage on gas grades, and an available fold-flat front passenger seat with lockable storage and an integrated pegboard on XtraCab models like TRD PreRunner. Frontier can be equipped
With a power-adjustable driver’s seat and heated front seats on the SV grade and up. But Frontier has no answer to Tacoma’s available ventilated front seats and IsoDynamic front seats. Additionally, the Nissan Intelligent Key is only available on the SV grade and above. Crew cab models include 60/40 split flip-up rear bench seats,
But King Cab models don’t have any answer to Tacoma XtraCab’s fold-flat front passenger’s seat with lockable storage and integrated pegboard. An eight-inch touchscreen is standard on Tacoma while a 14-inch touchscreen is available. Regardless of screen size, Toyota’s latest Audio Multimedia platform includes standard wireless compatibility for Apple CarPlay, which connects drivers to the apps on their iPhone, including maps, messages, podcasts, and music subscriptions. In addition, wireless Android Auto compatibility makes it
Easy to stay connected to Android devices and access various apps and services from Google, including YouTube Music and Google Maps. Plus, there’s a standard three-month SiriusXM trial subscription that includes over 165 channels available in-cabin, and even more on the SiriusXM mobile app, making it easier than ever to enjoy not just ad-free music,
But also sports, comedy, and more. Select grades also come with trials to Toyota’s line of Connected Services, including Safety Connect, Service Connect, Remote Connect, Wi-Fi Connect, and Drive Connect. Additionally, the available 10-speaker JBL Premium Audio system with a portable JBL Flex speaker allows owners to play their tunes on the go,
While the available Qi-compatible wireless charging keeps phones powered up. Finally, an available 12.3-inch digital Multi-Information Display, and an available head-up display put key information right in the driver’s line of sight. Frontier comes standard with the NissanConnect interface. S, SV, SL, and Hardbody Edition use an eight-inch touchscreen,
While PRO-X and PRO-4X include a larger nine-inch unit. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are standard but only trucks equipped with the nine-inch touchscreen have wireless functionality on the former. A 10-speaker Fender Premium Audio system is available on the SV grade and up, while Qi-compatible wireless charging is available
As part of the Convenience Package on PRO-X and PRO-4X. Although every grade comes with a seven-inch Advanced Drive-Assist Display, there’s no answer to Tacoma’s available head-up display. Tacoma comes standard with Toyota Safety Sense 3.0, a suite of active safety and driver assistance features. This includes Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection, Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist, Automatic High Beams, Full-Speed Range Dynamic Radar Cruise Control, Lane Tracing Assist, Road Sign Assist, and Proactive Driving Assist.
Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert is also available for additional convenience on the road, while the available Panoramic View Monitor provides a 360-degree view of the vehicle’s surroundings. Nissan Safety Shield 360 is standard on Frontier and includes similar features to Toyota Safety Sense. However, Intelligent Cruise Control, Blind Spot Warning,
And Rear Cross-Traffic Alert require selecting an optional package, no matter the grade. Additionally, the Intelligent Around View Monitor is available only on the PRO-X and PRO-4X grades. Tacoma drivers can rest easier thanks to Toyota’s commitment to quality, durability, and reliability. Every new Tacoma comes with ToyotaCare, which gives drivers the assurance of two years or 25,000 miles of scheduled maintenance, whichever comes first. Plus, two-years and unlimited-mileage, 24-hour roadside assistance. In addition, trucks equipped with the i-FORCE MAX
Hybrid electric powertrain are covered by an eight-year or 100,000-mile hybrid system warranty, whichever comes first, and a 10-year or 150,000-mile hybrid battery warranty, whichever comes first, making them strong choices for long-term ownership. Frontier comes with an industry standard warranty, plus three years or 36,000 miles of roadside assistance, whichever comes first.
With its expansive lineup and incredible capability, it’s clear why Tacoma sets the standard for midsize trucks now and into the future as well. Discover Tacoma today at toyota.com.
