2019 GMC Canyon vs 2019 Nissan Frontier

Small trucks have been becoming more and more attractive to American drivers over the years. Where bigger and more powerful trucks are quite fun to drive, they are also outside of the budget for many drivers. Furthermore, while additional power is always nice in terms of improving a driving experience, it comes at the cost of fuel economy. Why spend more both buying your vehicle and by filling it up at the pump more often if you don’t need to use that much power on a day-to-day basis? Unless that excess of power is needed for work and hobbies, you might consider it a drain on your income.

With that all said, what compact trucks are we looking at for today’s competition? That would be the 2019 GMC Canyon and the 2019 Nissan Frontier. The 2019 GMC Canyon rests under the many GMC Sierra variants of the GMC catalog whereas the Frontier has the powerful Nissan Titan as its big brother. If you want a small truck, which should you buy? It’s the 2019 GMC Canyon vs the 2019 Nissan Frontier!
