In an exciting collaboration, Nissan has partnered with Forsberg Racing to enter a slightly modified version of the Nissan Frontier pickup truck in the upcoming NORRA 500 race in Mexico, which kicks off on October 20.
The 2023 Frontier Pro-4X, which can be found here, is equipped with a variety of official Nismo Off Road parts. The most notable upgrade is the lift kit and high-performance suspension, which increase the front and rear heights by 1.5 and 1.0 inches respectively. These enhancements are available for purchase and can be added to any Frontier model currently on sale.
The 2023 Frontier is a blend of the original tough-bodied Nissan trucks with modern enhancements. The Pro-4X package makes it a highly capable off-road vehicle. Fletch from the popular YouTube channel All Things Overlanding shares his positive experiences with the latest generation Frontier, stating that it has improved significantly while retaining the best features of the old model.
Fletch has been the proud owner of the 2023 Nissan Frontier for a few months now. This isn’t his first Nissan vehicle, as he previously owned a second-gen Frontier and a Nissan Xterra. He loves the stylish appearance of the new truck and appreciates how it maintains the frame and bed dimensions of the older model. This allows him to use most of his existing gear and accessories with his new Frontier.
The current Nissan Frontier debuted for the 2022 model year after a long previous-generation run. Now, the Japanese brand is bringing back the Hardbody nameplate as a special package for the 2024 Frontier. However, this ’80s nostalgia comes at a price – over $40,000.
The least expensive 2024 Nissan Frontier Hardbody is priced at $42,095. This package is only available on the Frontier SV 4×4 trim, which starts at $36,870 for the shorter 5-foot bed. Nissan states that the Hardbody Package costs $3,890, and there’s also a mandatory $1,335 destination charge for Frontier trims. When you add all of these costs together, you arrive at the aforementioned price.
Nissan is extending the production of its current midsize truck, the Frontier, until the 2029 model year, instead of the previously planned 2027. According to a supplier memo obtained by Automotive News, the reason for this extension is not specified, but it is believed to be related to Nissan’s electric agenda.
One of the reasons cited by a supplier is that Nissan wants to avoid launching a traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle when electric vehicle (EV) production is already in full swing at its factory in Canton, Mississippi. This suggests that the next Nissan Frontier could possibly be an electric vehicle.
