Nissan Frontier Specs

The 2024 Nissan Frontier comes with one sole engine option for the whole lineup. Under the hood lies a 3.8-liter V-6 engine that delivers 310 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque. Paired to the Nissan Frontier engine is a nine-speed automatic transmission that offers smooth gear shifting and easy driving. This engine allows you to tow an incredible amount – up to 6,640 pounds when properly equipped. However, your Nissan Frontier performance regarding towing can vary for a few reasons, including the cab size, trim level, and drivetrain, among other factors.

In addition to appealing Nissan Frontier horsepower, towing, and other specs, you'll have access to intelligently designed towing accessories, like smart towing technology and a fully boxed ladder frame, for a more sturdy experience.

Most trims come standard with a 4x2 drivetrain, but 4x4 is available within the lineup, which can help with traversing across uneven terrain and through challenging weather conditions like snow, sand, mud, or heavy rain. When you pull up to the gas station, you won't need to worry about shelling out for premium fuel to take advantage of the above Nissan Frontier performance since the model runs on regular unleaded gasoline.

Nissan Frontier Fuel Economy

There are three different MPG ratings for the Nissan Frontier, each dependent on the drivetrain or trim level of the model you opt for. Thankfully, each rating is only slightly different than the last. Most models come with standard 2WD, which will deliver you with an EPA-estimated 18/24/21 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).¹ If you choose to upgrade your pickup truck to the optional 4WD or choose a model with standard 4WD, you'll benefit from an EPA-estimated 18/23/20 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).²

An exception to these Nissan Frontier MPG ratings is the Nissan Frontier 4WD PRO-4X, which offers an EPA-estimated 18/22/19 MPG (City/Highway/Combined).³ This signature trim also boasts incredible off-road ability by forgoing 4x2 and only offering the vehicle in 4x4. Another feature of this model is its additional hauling features, including an electronic locking rear differential and a tow-haul mode switch.

Nissan Frontier Fuel Capacity

Along with impressive fuel economy and specifications, the Nissan Frontier is famously consistent. The model boasts a 21-gallon fuel tank across the lineup, which is perfect for drivers who like to spend more time on the road and less time stopping at the gas pump. The vehicle also relies on regular unleaded gas, meaning that when you do stop at the gas station to refuel, you won't be shelling out premium prices.

Given this consistency across the lineup, you can focus on other aspects when trying to build the right pickup model for you from the selection of trims and drivetrains. Let our Wally's Nissan of Latham experts help you get started today.

This bird's eye view is designed to help you avoid potential collisions, stay aware of your surroundings, and improve your driving experience overall.
