At a Glance: 2009 Nissan Frontier


The Nissan Frontier, a no-compromise pickup forged with premium hardware, extraordinary power and off-road athleticism, continues to be a leader in the mid-size truck segment.  Improving its already impressive packaging, the 2009 Frontier is updated with a new front fascia grille and headlight design and new machine-finished 16-inch wheels (PRO-4X) and new 18-inch aluminum-alloy wheels (LE). 

Additionally, a Frontier PRO-4X off-road model is added, along with new Crew Cab LE and PRO-4X Value Truck Packages (VTP).  Other enhancements include a new center radio and HVAC stack (V6 models), new seat cloth for LE models and two new exterior colors – Red Brick and Navy Blue.

The Nissan Frontier continues to offer an unmatched level of on- and off- road performance with the use of a 4.0-liter DOHC V6 engine with best-in-segment horsepower, torque, towing and payload specifications.  With its strong performance, combined with good fuel mileage (17 city, 21 highway, King Cab 2WD), the Frontier is a fitting truck for work or play.   

Frontier is offered in both King Cab and Crew Cab body styles and in 4x2 and 4x4 driveline configurations.  The 2009 Frontier, like the previous generations, is assembled at Nissan's manufacturing facility in Smyrna, Tennessee.
