2025 Ford Ranger vs 2025 Nissan Frontier
2025 Ford Ranger vs 2025 Nissan Frontier – Which One Works Harder for You?
When choosing a midsize pickup, you want something that’s strong enough for tough jobs but comfortable enough for daily life. The 2025 Ford Ranger and the 2025 Nissan Frontier both offer a bold look, good capability, and plenty of features. However, when you really compare them, it’s clear which one gives you more for your money. Let’s take a closer look.
Muscle That Moves You Further
The 2025 Ford Ranger offers a choice of powertrains, starting with a 2.3‑litre EcoBoost engine producing 270 horsepower and 310 lb‑ft of torque. If you want even more, the available 2.7‑litre EcoBoost V6 pushes that to 315 horsepower and a massive 400 lb‑ft of torque. This power translates into a best‑in‑class max available towing capacity of 7,500 lbs and a max available payload of 1,684 lbs. Fuel economy is strong for its class at 11.9 L/100 km city, 9.8 L/100 km highway, and 11 L/100 km combined. In contrast to the Ranger, the Nissan Frontier uses a 3.8‑litre V6 with 310 horsepower and 281 lb‑ft of torque, with a towing max of 6,850 lbs and payload max of only 1,200 lbs. Its fuel use is higher at 13.3 L/100 km city, 10.9 L/100 km highway, and 12.3 L/100 km combined. In real‑world use, the Ranger delivers more pulling power, better payload, and lower fuel costs, making it the smarter work and adventure truck.
Space to Carry and Store More
Both trucks seat up to five people, but in comparison of their hauling ability, the Ranger clearly has the edge as it offers maximum available payload capacity of 1,684 lbs. Its bed is designed for both work gear and weekend toys, and the higher payload rating means you can carry more without worry. Inside, the Ranger uses smart storage touches so you can stash essentials easily. On the other hand, the Frontier has the maximum payload capacity of 1,200 lbs. The bed is capable, but the lower payload capacity limits how much you can haul. For drivers who carry tools, equipment, or heavy recreational gear, the Ranger is clearly the more capable hauler.
Tech That Works the Way You Do
Inside the Ranger, the available 12.0‑inch centre display gives you a bright, clear view of your apps, maps, and settings. It pairs with an available premium B&O Sound System by Bang & Olufsen with HD Radio and 10 speakers including a subwoofer. In contrast to this, the Frontier offers a 12.3‑inch colour touchscreen, which is slightly larger, but its audio system maxes out at 6 speakers. In comparison of the two, the Ranger’s combination of an advanced display and premium sound delivers a better in‑cabin experience, whether you’re on a long highway drive or parked at the job site.
Confidence Wherever You Drive
The Ford Ranger comes with Ford Co‑Pilot360 driver‑assist technology, which gives you features like blind spot monitoring, pre‑collision assist, and lane‑keeping assist. These systems are designed to help in every driving situation, from tight city streets to winding rural roads. On the other hand, the Nissan Frontier also offers driver‑assist features, but Ford’s system feels more polished and is available across more trims. In comparison of the two, the Ranger’s technology offers more peace of mind for drivers who face varied weather and road conditions in New Brunswick.
