Nissan (finally) unveils it's next generation Frontier in the US in nearly two decades!
-Under the hood sits the same 310-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 that first debuted on the 2020 model. That V6 puts out 281 pound-feet of torque and is attached to a nine-speed automatic transmission that's been given an expanded lockup area, a new high-response electro-hydraulic system, long input shaft and a 99 percent wider gear range compared to the old five-speed.
As for the new Frontier's credentials as a hauler, it can tow up to 6,720 pounds. Better managing all that poundage is a new Trailer Sway Control which automatically applies brakes when trailer sway is detected. With max payload coming in at 1,610 pounds for the 2WD SV, an optional Utili-track Channel System in the bed uses three "C" cross-sections rails, as well as four fixed bed tie-down hooks, making hauling cargo in the back of the Frontier itself secure and easy. A new dampened tailgate assist is standard as are two stop lamp lights on the back of the cab. Two LED bed lights can also be optioned.
