TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2019 Nissan Frontier is an endearing, affordable mid-size truck that lacks the flash of competitors—we like that.

The 2019 Chevrolet Colorado is a jack-of-all-trades: humble work truck, comfortable urban runabout, or off-road all-star.

TCC Likes

Strong V-6 engine
Good value
Tough off-road version

Three strong engine choices
ZR2’s off-road ability
Good interior

TCC Dislikes

…by that we mean that it’s old
Lousy fuel economy
Poor safety features

Subpar safety record
Gets expensive fast
Chunky ride
