Every 2026 Frontier runs the same 3.8-liter VQ V6 engine regardless of trim or configuration. That engine produces 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. It has been named to the Wards 10 Best Engines list, and 92% of Frontier trucks sold in the last 10 years are still on the road, a dependability record that reflects what this powertrain delivers over real ownership cycles rather than test conditions.

Whether you are running to a job site or towing a boat to Geist Reservoir, every Frontier trim delivers the same 310 horsepower. The engine does not change based on how much you spend. The configuration does.

The 2026 Frontier is rated to tow up to 7,160 lbs. in its King Cab Long Bed RWD configuration, making it capable of pulling mid-size boats, campers, and utility trailers without compromise. Maximum payload reaches up to 1,590 lbs. on that same configuration. Both figures represent class-leading performance for a standard V6 midsize truck.

Towing and payload capacity vary by configuration. Crew Cab 4x4 models carry additional curb weight that reduces both ratings from the maximums above. Buyers with specific towing needs should verify their configuration's rated capacity before purchasing.

The Frontier is available in two cab styles across five trim personalities, each in RWD or available 4x4. The King Cab offers rear-hinged rear access doors and is available with a long bed on S and SV trims. The Crew Cab offers conventional four-door access with seating for five and long bed availability on SV and above. Choosing between them comes down to how the truck will be used: the King Cab maximizes bed length and payload on lighter configurations, while the Crew Cab prioritizes passenger space for families and crews.

The PRO-4X is not simply a higher trim level. It is the Frontier configured specifically for terrain that most midsize trucks will not attempt, and it earns that distinction through hardware rather than badging.

Standard PRO-4X equipment includes Bilstein performance shocks, an electronic locking rear differential that forces equal torque to both rear wheels on technical terrain, a Terrain Mode Selector with four settings (2H, 4H, 4L, and Auto), protective skid plates under the frame, and 17-inch PRO aluminum-alloy wheels with all-terrain tires from the factory. Ground clearance reaches 8.6 inches on PRO-4X 4x4 models. Inside, the PRO-4X comes standard with heated front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, and dual-zone automatic climate control, meaning off-road capability does not require a compromise on daily comfort.

For buyers who want to go further, the PRO-4X R by Roush adds an off-road-tuned Roush suspension with lift kit, exclusive 17-inch wheels with aggressive all-terrain tires, titanium-finish exterior accents, unique front grille accents, and R-embroidered headrests. The PRO-4X R is installed by Roush and carries Roush's own warranty coverage separate from Nissan's factory warranty. Contact Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers for details on PRO-4X R availability and Roush warranty terms before purchasing.

The base S and Crew Cab S use an 8-inch NissanConnect touch-screen with wired Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a 4-speaker audio system. Moving to the SV and above brings the 12.3-inch NissanConnect touch-screen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, 6-speaker audio, AM/FM/SiriusXM, NissanConnect Services with Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and 4 USB ports. The PRO-X and PRO-4X add Nissan Intelligent Key with Push Button Ignition and front-door request switch. Remote engine start is standard on PRO-4X 4x4 configurations and available as an option on other trims. The PRO-4X with the PRO Premium Package adds an available Fender premium audio system, integrated navigation, and additional connected services.

Standard Safety Shield 360: All Trims

Safety Shield 360 is standard on every 2026 Frontier trim from the base S through the PRO-4X. Every Frontier buyer receives the same collision protection suite regardless of which configuration they choose.

Every 2026 Frontier purchased at Ed Martin Nissan of Fishers is backed by Nissan's full factory warranty, with certified service support available at our Fishers location for the entire ownership period.

The 2026 Frontier's color availability expands as you move up through the trim lineup, with the PRO-X and PRO-4X offering the widest selection including two colors exclusive to those trims.

Wheel options run from 16-inch styled steel on the base S through 17-inch PRO aluminum-alloy wheels with all-terrain tires on PRO-X and PRO-4X trims. The Dark Armor Package adds 17-inch dark aluminum-alloy wheels alongside dark exterior accents, dark interior finishes, and unique Dark Armor badging on the SV platform. Interior seating is cloth on S trims, premium cloth on SV and above, with available leather seating on PRO-4X with the PRO Premium Package.
