Compare the Ford Ranger Against the Nissan Frontier
The 2025 Ford Ranger vs. the Nissan Frontier
Some midsize trucks look alike until the work starts. The 2025 Ford Ranger plows ahead where it counts-power delivery, ride control, and everyday function. The 2025 Nissan Frontier keeps up on paper, but real-world use quickly separates the two at job sites and on daily commutes through Springfield. Let's explore how the Ford Ranger holds up to the Nissan Frontier and why it leads with Springfield area car buyers.
Powertrain & Towing
The 2025 Ford Ranger has more engine options in the lineup: a standard 2.3-liter EcoBoost® four-cylinder, a 2.7-liter EcoBoost® V6, and a 3.0-liter EcoBoost® V6 exclusive to the Ford Ranger Raptor trim. Power peaks at 315 horsepower with the 2.7-liter and climbs to 405 horsepower in the Raptor. Towing tops out at 7,500 pounds, and a payload hits 1,788 pounds. Gear shifting lands clean, and its torque curve stays even during long uphill hauls or quick merging around White House.
The 2025 Nissan Frontier has a 3.8-liter V6 engine making 310 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque. Only in its top trim configurations can it tow up to 7,100 pounds. Otherwise, towing ranges from 6,310 to 7,000 pounds, with the right setup. The nine-speed automatic can sometimes hesitate with the Frontier during mid-range acceleration.

Advanced Safety & Technology
Ford Co-Pilot360® sets a higher baseline. Driver-assists include Blind Spot Information System (BLIS) with trailer coverage, lane-keeping assistance, and automatic emergency braking. The Sync® 4 infotainment system works fast and supports split-screen navigation, trail maps, and wireless smartphone pairing.
The Frontier has similar tools but reserves advanced safety features for the higher trim levels. Its screen response feels delayed, and has menus and layouts that require extra steps.
