The Nissan Frontier is a long-lived, often underappreciated midsized pickup truck. Here are the questions asked most often about the Frontier:
- Is the 3.8L V6 reliable? The Frontier’s naturally aspirated 3.8L V6 engine (310 horsepower) avoids the complexity of turbochargers. It’s one of the last traditional, non-turbo engines in the midsize truck class.
- How capable is the PRO-4X trim off-road? The Pro-4X is a trail-ready trim, featuring an electronic locking rear differential, Bilstein shocks, skid plates, and the latest drive-mode selector for rock, sand, and mud. It will do most general off-road duties well.
- What is the maximum towing capacity? The Frontier tows up to 7,150 lbs. and handles a payload of up to 1,620 lbs. Depending on the specific cab configuration: King Cab vs. Crew Cab.
- Is the backseat roomy for adults? No. The rear legroom on Crew Cab models is a common point of concern for most owners. This restriction, however, is true of all midsize truck options on the market today.
