Let's see how the 2015 Toyota Tacoma compares with the Nissan Frontier.

FUEL ECONOMY

If you own a pickup truck, most likely you'll be using it a lot for work and play, especially the luxurious 2015 Toyota Tacoma -- and that means you'll be driving all over Florida, so fuel efficiency matters. Lucky that you own a Tacoma because you'll get a very impressive EPA-estimated 21 city/25 hwy mpg. Don't expect the same of the Nissan Frontier, which only manages 19/23 mpg. It's clear the Tacoma will keep money in your pocket while the Frontier will make it fly away.

ENGINE

Looks aren't everything, it's what's under the hood that matters, and the 2015 Toyota Tacoma totally delivers in that department with the two engines it offers -- a 2.7L 4-cylinder generating 159 hp or a 4.0L V6 pumping out 236 horses. In comparison, two engines are also available in the Nissan Frontier -- a 2.5L 4-cylinder with 152 horses and a 4.0L V6 producing 261 hp. With more horsepower and better fuel efficiency with the 4-cylinder engine, the Tacoma is the victor here.

STANDARD FEATURES

You'll enjoy much better standard tech when you choose a 2015 Toyota Tacoma over a Nissan Frontier. An Entune Audio system with 6.1-inch touchscreen, multimedia bundle with IPod integration and Bluetooth is standard on the Tacoma. You also get power door locks and windows, plus air conditioning. By contrast, you'll be sweltering in the hot Florida sun in the base Frontier, which doesn't come with standard air conditioning or tech of that caliber -- it's either optional or not offered.
