ALWAYS PULLING FOR YOU.
Power -- either you've got it, or you don't. And with Frontier, you've got it in a big way. With a 4.0-liter engine packing 261 horsepower, you won't find a more powerful V6 in its class. And with a massive 281 lb-ft of torque, you can tow or haul just about anything you need to bring along. Maybe it's because we're a company that loves to compete -- off-road, on the racetrack, even in the showroom. But wherever we win, we're happy to share the prize with you.
Rocket science. The 24-valve 4.0-L V6 works its magic with advanced technology, including a lightweight aluminum engine block, advanced valve timing system, variable intake and race-bred friction-reducing technology.
A 4-cylinder that feels like a 6. Frontier also offers a 2.5-L 4-cylinder that pumps out 152 horsepower, 171 lb-ft of torque and features a compact balancer system to deliver the smoothness of a V6.
Gear up. You can harness the 4-cylinder's power through a 5-speed manual transmission or an available 5-speed automatic. The V6 is available with either a 6-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission.

SHOWS REAL BACKBONE WITH A FULLY BOXED FRAME
Four walls are stronger than three. At its core, Frontier features a full-length, fully boxed ladder frame instead of the 3-sided, open C-shape rails found on some other trucks. The frame is built with super-high-tensile-strength steel in strategic areas for improved structural rigidity. This rugged material is stronger than conventional steel, for increased torsional stiffness that ultimately delivers enhanced performance, on- and off-road. And it's the perfect foundation to build upon with some advanced technology.
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) rapidly pumps the brakes during hard braking to help keep your wheels from locking up, thus helping you to steer around an obstacle.
Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD) senses additional weight, whether it's a full cargo bed or a full tank of gas, and sends extra force to the rear brakes.
Brake Override Technology. Standard on every Frontier, it's designed to help slow down your vehicle and bring it to a safe stop in an emergency by overriding accelerator input and reducing engine power when the accelerator and brake pedals are applied simultaneously.
Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC). Also known as electronic stability control, VDC monitors driver inputs and vehicle motion and helps compensate for oversteer or understeer to help keep you on your steered path.
Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS). To help keep your wheels from spinning, Frontier offers ABLS, a system that senses when a wheel begins to slip then automatically brakes the slipping wheel (or wheels) and sends additional power to the wheels with the best traction.
PUTS YOUR CARGO IN LOCKDOWN
The Utili-track Channel System on Frontier gives you choices few other trucks can match. No matter what type of cargo you're carrying, this available system is fully equipped to help keep it secured tightly. Five channels, four cleats and a lot of thought about how people really use their trucks have created a system that's simple, rugged and offers near-infinite possiblities.
4 CLEATS. Frontier's four heavy-duty forged aluminum cleats easily slide in the channels for unmatched flexibility to tie things down -- and the strength to hold them.
5 CHANNELS. Unmatched versatility comes in the form of five channels -- including two channels in the floor, a feature few competitors can match. And since you can lock the cleat anywhere along the rail, Frontier makes sure you find the best position to secure whatever you bring along.
Spray-on bedliner. Adding to the incredible versatility of the bed, the available spray-on bedliner is applied at the factory -- so you know it's done right. Fade - and weather-resistant, it's a rugged, non-skid surface that adheres directly to the bed to help prevent rusting.
Loads of accessories. There's also a full line of accessories to help you get even more out of Utili-track, including a Sliding Tool Box, a Sliding Bed Divider and a Sliding Bed Extender.

PLAYS TO WIN
The ultimate off-road Frontier, the PRO-4X. Exhibit championship form with the ultimate gear, including Bilstein off-road performance shocks, an electronic locking rear differential, 4-wheel Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS), skid plates and 265/75R16 BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A tires. Add in unique 16" 6-spoke alloy wheels, halogen fog lights and an exclusive 2-tone interior, and you've got a winning combination, inside and out.
Electronic locking rear differential. When 4x4 mode just isn't enough, flip the switch to activate the electronic locking rear differential. This ultimate off-road features delivers equal power to both rear wheels to boost traction and help keep your truck moving forward. When engaged, it works in conjunction with the 4-wheel Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS). So while the locking rear diffential keeps the rear wheels powered to move you ahead, ABLS helps give you the traction you need up front to help maintain steering control.
Hill start assist. When starting on steep hills from a stop, hill start assist will help keep you from rolling backwards. It holds brake pressure for a few seconds, allowing you enough time to switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
Hill descent control. When driving down a steep grade in 4WD, hill descent control can help. Just flip the switch, ease your foot from accelerator and this system automatically maintains speed and brake pressure to help provide a controlled descent.

STREET CRED.
Sport Appearance Package. Serious attitude comes standard from the unique 18" Dark Hyper Silver finish alloy wheels to its body-color bumpers. No detail is overlooked in the quest for cool, with a front grille also in Dark Hyper Silver Finish, integrated fog lights showing you the way, and a bold body side graphic that says this could only be the Nissan Frontier. As if something this wicked could be anything else.
