The Nissan Frontier, which combines premium hardware, extraordinary power and off-road athleticism, continues to be a leader in the mid-size truck segment. For 2013, Frontier again offers an exceptional level of on- and off-road performance with the use of a 4.0-liter DOHC V6 engine rated at 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. A 152-horsepower 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine is also available (King Cab only). With its strong performance, combined with good fuel mileage (19 city, 23 highway, I4 King Cab 2WD M/T), the Frontier is a fitting truck for work or play.
A number of enhancements are offered for the 2013 model year – a tailgate spoiler is added on all models, a Desert Runner model is added to King Cab 4x2 A/T and Crew Cab 4x2 A/T and the Value Truck Package replaces previous SV Premium Utility Package and now includes floor mats, Dual Zone Auto A/C, RearView Monitor, rear sonar, sliding bed extender and trailer hitch.
Fuel economy for most 2013 Frontier models has increased one-to-two miles per gallon due to reduced engine friction and enhanced aerodynamics. A seal has been added between the cab and bed, the front spoiler has been extended and rear tire wind deflections and a new tailgate spoiler have been added.
In addition, PRO-4X models add Satin Chrome grille, fog lights, revised logos and decals, updated contrast stitching and seat embroidery, RearView Monitor, rear sonar, Dual Zone Auto A/C, auto on/off headlights and additional 12V power outlet, while SL models add rear view camera, rear sonar, Dual Zone Auto A/C, auto on/off headlights, additional 12V power outlet. SV models add SiriusXM Satellite Radio (SiriusXM subscription required, sold separately) and an additional 12V power outlet. A Bluetooth® Hands-Free Phone added to SV and Desert Runner models and slide-on-rod style sunvisors are added for all models.
Finally, a navigation system is added to SL models and the PRO-4X Luxury Package, and a Display Audio with CD/AM/FM/Aux/USB is available with SV, Desert Runner and PRO-4X models. Three new exterior colors are available for 2013: Glacier White, Graphite Blue and Cayenne Red.
