No extra letting the Nissan Frontier languish on the vine, it seems. Three years after the all-new truck hit the market, Nissan’s lashed up a raft of updates, many based mostly on buyer suggestions. The one the working truck people are going to love finest is expanded availability of the Crew Cab with the six-foot mattress. Till now, out of 5 trims — S, SV, two-wheel-drive Professional-X and four-wheel-drive Professional-4X, SL, Hardbody — consumers may solely spec the lengthy mattress on the SV — the remainder got here with the Normal mattress that is just below 5 ft. For 2025, the SV, Professional-4X, and SL grades get entry to the six-footer, that means solely the bottom S and top-tier Hardbody trims will go with out. With Nissan specifying the Professional-4X right here, it seems one may even have to order the 4×4 Frontier to get the lengthy mattress. The present SV can get the variant lengthy mattress regardless of the drivetrain.
They’re going to additionally respect increased tow rankings, each trim capable of pull about 500 extra kilos than earlier than. That takes max capability to 7,150 kilos, in comparison with a present max of 6,640 kilos with the SV King Cab 4×2.

There is a redrawn grille above a black crosspiece that replaces the body-colored crosspiece, and a tweaked design for the entrance facet intakes that now hook up with the fog lamps down beneath. In again, the Professional-X and Professional-4X put on new tailgate finishers, we’ll should see whether or not different grades get related prospers. And at the very least the Professional trims add the brand new Afterburn Orange exterior coloration to the palette, plus there is a new 17-inch wheel design.
It is the inside pulling the heavy load although the modifications right here aren’t main. The gauge cluster’s a bit smoother, behind a tilt and telescoping wheel that now comes commonplace on all trims. Each trim additionally encompasses a sliding rear window and a sunglass holder within the overhead console, whereas the SV trim strikes up an inch in wheel measurement to 17-inch alloys. On all however the base S trim, a 12.3-inch infotainment touchscreen with wi-fi Android Auto and Apple CarPlay lends a extra fashionable air, and the six-way powered driver’s seat provides energy lumbar perform.

And the SL picks up the surround-view monitor and wi-fi telephone charging commonplace, in addition to an elective inside package deal with leather-based seats, Fender 10-speaker audio, and LED exterior lighting. We hope distinction cross-stitching and trim items include extra trims, too, as a result of it does big favors for cabin airiness and a extra premium notion.
Talking of surround-view, the Professional-4X trim makes the off-road cameras obtainable at increased speeds, now as much as 12 miles per hour.
