5. Nissan Navara N-Warrior vs Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm: Comfort and convenience

Colorado High Country Storm

The point of upgrading is to improve aspects of most features that are important. Chevrolet did well in adding all these extras that make the Chevrolet Colorado 2019 a very tempting choice over a more expensive option that comes with a bi-turbo. This hits the sweet spot for the city and off-road adventures in one sweet package. 

Navara N-Warrior

Nissan Navara's new variant and its high expectations for this aspect of the N-Warrior weren’t met as upgrades should have made an impressive point. The advanced suite of safety features more than makes up for it.

7. Nissan Navara N-Warrior vs Chevrolet Colorado High Country Storm: Conclusion

Anyone thinking of getting a pickup this summer should go the full nine yards for either truck. Between the Nissan Navara N-Warrior 2019 versus Chevrolet High Country Storm 2019 both vary in the degree of upgrades they offer.

All these upgrades are important but getting ultra-upgraded trucks that won’t be used for off-roading is something to think over. Both still have the usual equipment with a few extras to make it worth it.

When it comes down to it, the High Country Storm gives value for money when compared the N-Warrior for a lesser budget. Philkotse.com recommends these mid-size pickups as the best choices to consider.
