2022 Nissan Frontier vs 2022 Ford Maverick in San Antonio TX

Exterior – Nissan Dealer serving San Antonio TX

The 2022 Nissan Frontier measures 210.2 inches in overall length, and that is about 17.5 feet. Ford’s marketing suggests that the 2022 Ford Maverick is more agile in urban environments, but it measures 199.7 inches in overall length. That puts it at about 16.6 feet, which is not a huge difference. Sure, maybe it matters in some specific parking scenarios, but it also comes with some drawbacks that we think we would affect us more often than some tight parking spots. Something else worth mentioning is that the Maverick is only available in a single configuration: a four-door cab with a 4.5-foot bed. Nissan gives you an option. You can either opt for the two-door king cab paired with a 6-foot bed or the larger four-door crew cab, which is paired with a bed that is larger than the Maverick bed and almost 5 feet.
