The 2025 Nissan Frontier doubles down on its relentless spirit with a rugged new design, enhanced utility for work or play and updated technology that simplifies every journey. Headlined by greater availability of the useful 6-foot bed, an increased maximum tow rating and a larger available infotainment system, the enhancements to Frontier are driven by customer feedback and Nissan's efforts to ensure the truck delivers more of what drivers desire.
The refreshed 2025 Nissan Frontier reaches Nissan dealerships later this summer. Pricing will be announced closer to the on-sale date.
Refreshed for form and function
The 2025 Frontier's new look builds on its tough, squared-off appearance with a revised front fascia, grille and bumper design; a new tailgate finisher for PRO-X/PRO-4X; redesigned dashboard trim; a new 17-inch alloy wheel design and the introduction of a new Afterburn Orange paint. These enhancements further highlight Frontier's ability to work hard and play hard.
Listening to customer feedback, Nissan made multiple functional revisions that make living with Frontier more convenient. A telescopic-adjusting steering wheel is newly standard on all grades, while a four-way power passenger seat becomes standard on the PRO-X/PRO-4X and SL grades. On SV grades and higher, the six-way power driver's seat now adds two-way power lumbar.
SV grades and higher add a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system so drivers can more effectively and easily use on-screen functions. This year the system adds wireless Android Auto(TM) connectivity, in addition to wireless Apple CarPlay(R), enabling for compatible smartphone mirroring without plugging in a USB cord2.
All Frontier grades now come with a standard sliding rear window3 and a sunglasses holder in the overhead console as standard. SV models now have standard 17-inch alloy wheels. On SL grades, a wireless phone charger, Intelligent Around View(R) Monitor and a four-way power passenger seat also become standard.
More options, more flexibility, more capability
Responding to the diverse needs of truck customers, the 2025 Frontier expands availability of the Crew Cab long-wheelbase configuration from SV to SV, PRO-4X and SL grades. With a 6-foot bed, this caters to Frontier drivers looking to carry larger loads, whether for the job site or weekend hobbies.
Frontier also boasts an increased maximum trailering capacity this year of up to 7,150 pounds, enabling more work and adventure4. Towing capacities increase by around 500 pounds on all grades and configurations compared to the 2024 Frontier. (See full Crew Cab and King Cab specification sheets for towing ratings on all grades.)
For the many Frontier PRO-4X drivers who venture into rugged terrain, enhancements to the Intelligent Around View(R) Monitor make the camera system even more effective. The Off-Road Mode viewing function can now be used while driving at up to 12 mph, covering a greater range of typical technical off-road speeds and helping drivers spot obstacles.
Peace of mind is standard
On the 2025 Frontier, numerous driver assistance and safety technologies are now standard across all grades, from S5 through SL. Those include Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Parking Sensors, High Beam Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control. Frontier SL also features Traffic Sign Recognition.
Unstoppable adventure partner
Frontier continues to deliver on the effortless utility buyers look for in a midsize truck, starting with its responsive, direct-injected 3.8-liter V6 engine and 9-speed automatic transmission. Rated for 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, the engine features Idle Stop/Start. Active Brake Limited Slip is standard on all grades, with PRO-4X upgrading to an electronic locking differential, to help provide added traction on mixed surfaces.
The PRO-X and PRO-4X cater to buyers heading beyond, with all-terrain tires, Bilstein off-road suspension components, an even more rugged appearance with over-fenders and Lava Red tow hooks.
To securely carry almost whatever drivers need, Frontier offers a Utili-Track(TM) system for its bed with adjustable tie-down cleats, and available spray-in bedliner6 . The bed also has an available 120-volt power outlet.
Finally, Frontier SL brings a more plush, highly equipped option, with features including leather-appointed front and rear seating, a heated leather-wrapped steering wheel, LED exterior lighting and a Fender(R) Premium Audio system with 10 speakers.
