When configuring the Ford F-150, you’ll have seven different engines to choose from, each more powerful than the last. This built-tough truck features a 290-horsepower base engine to encapsulate its status as a gentle giant. On the other hand, it can be equipped with a 700-horsepower engine, which unleashes its limitless potential.

Conversely, the Nissan Frontier’s one and only engine competes well with the F-150. Under the hood, you’ll find a 3.8-liter engine capable of 310 horsepower. While the Frontier makes a valiant effort to keep up, you’ll find a greater range of power in the F-150.

More power often comes with more responsibility. However, with the Ford F-150, with more power comes more towing capability! When properly equipped, this truck can tow up to 14,000 pounds, and it can achieve a maximum 3,310-pound payload. All work materials or towable toys are welcome in this truck.

On the other hand, the Nissan Frontier can tow up to 6,720 pounds, which is plenty of power to haul your pop-up camper or small boat. Plus, it can achieve a maximum 1,610-pound payload!

The Ford F-150 can be outfitted with three different bed options: a 5.5-foot bed, a 6.5-foot bed, or an 8-foot bed. Check out how much cargo each bed can carry:

• 5.5-foot bed volume: 52.8 cubic feet
• 6.5-foot bed volume: 62.3 cubic feet
• 8-foot bed volume: 77.4 cubic feet

All three beds are 21.4 inches tall and 50.6 inches wide, which means you can fit all the camping gear or work materials you need.

On the other hand, the Nissan Frontier has two bed options: one is 58.9 inches in length, while the other is 73.3 inches in length. They’re both 19.4 inches tall and 44.5 inches wide, which means they’re slightly narrower than the F-150.

As you build your truck, you must consider how much space you need for your family, co-workers, or team. The Ford rolls out strong with three different cabs: Regular Cab, SuperCab, and SuperCrew. The Nissan falls behind with just two cab options: King Cab and Crew Cab.

Both models include a cabin designed for your crew, so you may wonder how they stack up against each other. Let’s find out:

Ford F-150	vs	Nissan Frontier
40.8/40.4 inches	Headroom (front/rear)	39.9/38.6 inches
43.9/43.6 inches	Max Legroom (front/rear)	42.3/33.2 inches

As you can see, the Ford offers more space for your friends and family, and it offers a more balanced experience for both front and rear passengers than the Frontier.

Both the F-150 and the Frontier equip 8-inch touchscreen displays on their base trims, and they work seamlessly with smartphone integration features to provide hands-free calls and audio streaming!

For an enhanced viewing experience, the Nissan upgrades its system to a 9-inch display. Even though this is a generously sized interface, the Ford blows it out of the water with its available 12-inch screen.

Your safety is a priority in both the Ford F-150 and the Nissan Frontier. In fact, both models are equipped with a few similar driver-assistance aids, including:

• Rear View Camera
• Pre-Collision Assist with Automatic Emergency Braking
• Auto High-Beam Headlamps
• Available Lane-Keeping System

The similar driver-assistance aids on these trucks are confidence-inspiring. However, only the Ford F-150 is available with Ford BlueCruise: a hands-free highway driving technology that pairs with several other safety systems to assist drivers on long commutes. The Nissan Frontier goes without a comparable feature.
