With more than a decade under its belt in its current form, the Nissan Frontier soldiers on for yet another year with minimal changes. For buyers looking for an affordable little truck, the Frontier could very well be the ticket; all models feature a fully-boxed frame, standard air conditioning, and cruise control. For 2015, the only noteworthy change is the inclusion of the Nissan Connect infotainment system as standard on the Frontier SV; the PRO-4X joins the SL with navigation as standard. Nissan has also slimmed down the powertrain configuration; all models except the PRO-4X King Cab have a five-speed automatic as standard equipment.
The Frontier is available in King Cab or Crew Cab configuration. The entry-level King Cab S, which comes in 4x2 only, uses a 2.5-litre four-cylinder engine paired to a five-speed automatic. SV and SL trims feature a 4.0-litre V6 engine with a five-speed automatic. The PRO-4X King Cab features a six-speed manual with an optional five-speed automatic. The PRO-4X Crew Cab features a five-speed automatic.
