Nissan of Dyersburg - What to Know About the 2026 Nissan Frontier
The 2026 Nissan Frontier brings the rugged capability midsize truck shoppers expect, then raises the bar with modern tech, thoughtful bed utility, and trail-proven confidence. With a standard 3.8-liter V6 delivering 310 horsepower and a refined 9-speed automatic, the Frontier feels composed on the interstate and stout on the job. When the weekend calls, available 4x4 hardware and smart driver aids help you move from pavement to trail with ease. Add in options like the factory-tuned PRO-4X off-road model or the PRO-4X R by Roush for an extra punch of performance and style, and you have a versatile truck that is equally at home hauling, towing, and exploring.
Inside, the Frontier is tech-savvy without being complicated. An available 12.3-inch touch-screen places key info front and center, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto keep your phone out of your hands and your focus on the road. NissanConnect Services with Wi-Fi Hotspot and the MyNISSAN app deliver convenient tools such as Remote Engine Start, Vehicle Status, and My Car Finder. Comfort lasts all day thanks to Zero Gravity front seats and an adjustable tilt and telescoping steering wheel. For a multimedia upgrade, you can equip premium audio and integrated navigation, and you will find a range of USB ports to keep everyone charged.
Capability is more than power — it is control. Frontier backs its stout V6 with features that add confidence, including Hill Start Assist, available Hill Descent Control, and Active Brake Limited Slip for better traction. On the trail, an available Intelligent Around View Monitor with Off-Road Mode gives you a better look at obstacles when the going gets tight. The fully boxed ladder frame, protective skid plates, and — on PRO-4X — Bilstein shocks and an electronic locking rear differential, underscore Frontier’s built-to-last design. In back, the bed is a workhorse with the available Utili-track channel system and movable cleats, a spray-on bedliner, 120-volt outlet, bed lighting, and a damped assist tailgate to simplify loading and securing cargo.
