Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the extended cab will be able to stretch out a lot more with the Jeep Gladiator than the Nissan Frontier. The Jeep Gladiator will be a favorite with tall drivers and their passengers, since it has much greater head- and legroom than the Nissan Frontier.

Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Jeep Gladiator as you will with the Nissan Frontier, as they can travel a similar number of miles on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Jeep Gladiator is somewhat more expensive than the Nissan Frontier.

Dimensions
The Jeep Gladiator is a little wider than the Nissan Frontier, so getting in and out of the car in a crowded parking lot may be a little more of a squeeze. The Jeep Gladiator is slightly shorter than the Nissan Frontier, which may make it easier to park.

Handling
The Jeep Gladiator has a larger turning radius than the Nissan Frontier, making it slightly more difficult to maneuver in and out of tight spots.

Performance
The Jeep Gladiator has a little less horsepower than the Nissan Frontier.

Powertrain
With its lower torque engine, the Jeep Gladiator doesn't do as good a job transmitting horsepower to its wheels as the Nissan Frontier.

Utility
In terms of seating, you'll be able to fit the same number of people in the Jeep Gladiator as you will the Nissan Frontier. The Nissan Frontier has a lot more cargo capacity for hauling lumber or gardening supplies than the Jeep Gladiator.
