Fresh from a complete makeover last year, the Frontier's larger size and plush new interior is sure to attract a wider segment of the pickup truck market, which is bad news for compacts like the aging Ford Ranger. A full 10 inches longer than its predecessor, the Frontier is equipped with a remarkably stiff, fully boxed frame that helps deliver car-like ride and handling as well as impressive towing and off-road ability. The Frontier also shares many unique features found in the full-size Titan pickup, such as spray-in bedliner and the Utili-track bed rail tie-down system. Another plus for the Frontier is its 265-horsepower V6 engine, the most powerful V6 available in the class.
