The Car Connection's Take
TCC Rating
5.0
5.6
TCC’s Bottom Line
The 2021 Chevy Colorado’s many configurations give shoppers the kind of choice typically reserved for full-size trucks, but Chevy skimps on safety features. The redesigned 2022 Nissan Frontier is thoroughly modernized with big improvements in ride quality and technology.
