After 16 years without a major update, the Frontier finally got a redesign for the 2022 model year. The new version benefits from a strong powertrain and a modern infotainment system, but it still suffers from a rough ride. It scores better than its traditional midsized pickup-truck competitors, such as the Chevrolet Colorado, Ford Ranger, and Toyota Tacoma, in part thanks to its excellent powertrain, easy-to-use controls, and short stopping distances. But it’s no match for the more car-like Honda Ridgeline or Hyundai Santa Cruz when it comes to comfort and refinement.
