2022 Nissan Frontier®
Overview
The all-new 2022 Nissan Frontier represents a radical departure from its predecessors, giving midsize pickup lovers an impressive mix of versatility, off-road capability and all of the smart safety, convenience and entertainment technologies one could ask for. The 2022 Frontier’s fresh new looks are backed up by a tried-and-true fully boxed, full-length ladder frame, ensuring the midsize pickup maintains its durability along with its towing and payload-carrying capabilities.
The Perfect Ride For…
Midsize truck fans in search of an adventurous ride. The 2022 Nissan Frontier definitely looks the part of an adventurous pickup thanks to its remarkably rugged styling. The 2022 model’s squared-off flanks combine with the upright, lantern-jawed front fascia for a sturdy, tough yet modern look. The PRO-4X trim’s additional cladding, beefy skid plates and red tow hooks further add to the Frontier’s rugged off-road appeal. As a parting shot, the rear tailgate features the redesigned Nissan logo along with the debossed “FRONTIER” legend underneath. The interior also gets a thorough redesign with a larger instrument cluster display and a variety of soft-touch surfaces.
Drive and Handling
For now, the 2022 Nissan Frontier comes with a singular engine and transmission combo: a 3.8-liter V6 engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. If this powerplant seems familiar, that’s because it was introduced back during the final year of the last-gen Frontier. With a stout 310 horsepower on tap, you won’t have any problems towing any of your favorite powersports toys or making good use of the pickup’s payload-carrying abilities. Speaking of payloads, you can also option the 2022 Frontier with a trio of Utili-track channels for additional tie-down points, along with a spray-on bedliner to ward against unsightly scratches and dents.
Key Features
Intelligent Around View Monitor with Off-Road Mode
When the going gets rough on off-road trails, you want a way to keep tabs on where you’re headed. With that said, the Intelligent Around View Monitor puts its electronic eyes to good use via the novel Off-Road Mode.

PRO-4X
The PRO-4X trim is the 2022 Nissan Frontier’s ultimate off-road form, equipped with everything you could ask for in a trail-conquering pickup truck. That includes rugged Bilstein off-road shocks and beefy all-terrain tires on distinctive 17-inch alloy wheels, along with an electronic locking differential for enhanced control on rugged terrain. Front and rear skid plates help protect the Frontier’s innards on precarious approaches, while the stylish red tow hooks offer a way to help other vehicles out of a jam – or get out of one, yourself. Inside, the PRO-4X’s rugged attitude continues with color-contrasting trim and stitching all over the Zero Gravity seats and synthetic leather-wrapped center console.
