2027 Nissan Frontier: Trims, Prices, Towing and What's New

The Sport Edition Package leads the changes for 2027:

• Sport Edition Package: New for the SV 4x2 and 4x4, it adds black exterior trim, off-road-style wheels on all-terrain tires and an aluminum skid plate.
• Moonroof Package: New for the PRO-X and PRO-4X, it is expected in February 2027 and requires the Convenience Package ($1,640 at launch).
• Alpine Metallic paint: It joins the 2027 color list, and Citrus Strike, a 2026 color, is not on it.
• Qi2 wireless charging: The wireless charger in the PRO Convenience Package moves up to the Qi2 standard.

The 2026 S King Cab 4x2 launched at $32,150, and destination and handling for 2026 was $1,745. If you're comparing model years, our 2026 Nissan Frontier overview covers the previous year.

The 2027 Frontier comes in 11 cab, bed and drive combinations, plus 2 Sport Edition versions of the SV, each shown below at its launch MSRP:

MSRP excludes destination and handling charges, tax, title, license and options, and we set the actual price.

Choose the cab first, then the bed and the drive, because those choices decide which 2027 Frontier trims are open to you.

King Cab or Crew Cab

The King Cab comes only as an S with a 6-foot bed. As a 4x2, it is the lowest-priced 2027 Frontier and has the highest payload rating. The Crew Cab S 4x2 launched $1,400 higher and adds a fifth seat and 7 more inches of rear legroom, but its bed is about 14 inches shorter. Choose the Crew Cab if adults ride in the back seats often; it is also the only cab on the SV, PRO-X and PRO-4X.

5-Foot or 6-Foot Bed

Among Crew Cabs, only the SV and PRO-4X offer the 6-foot bed, priced $500 above the 5-foot bed at launch. It adds 13.8 inches of cargo floor and 9.1 cubic feet of box volume. But the truck grows 13.9 inches longer, and on the SV it gives up 80 pounds of payload as a 4x2 and 110 as a 4x4. Pick the 6-foot bed for long loads if your garage has the room.

4x2 or 4x4

Four-wheel drive added $3,000 at launch on the S and $3,300 on the SV, while the PRO-X comes only as a 4x2 and the PRO-4X only as a 4x4. Every 4x4 Frontier is part-time, switched on through a 2-speed transfer case, and every 4x4 above the S adds Terrain Mode.

Snowy winters here in Hamilton County are the strongest case for 4x4 on a truck that rarely leaves the pavement, because the extra driven wheels help it pull away and climb on snow. Stopping on ice still comes down to tires and speed. On cleared roads the 4x2 is the better buy. An S or SV 4x2 costs less and rates 2 MPG better combined than the same truck as a 4x4. With the 5-foot bed, a Crew Cab SV 4x2 also tows 120 pounds more and carries 170 pounds more payload than a 5-foot SV 4x4.

S, SV, PRO-X or PRO-4X

Every trim gets the same standard driver-assistance features, so the trim you pick decides comfort, technology and trail hardware. Both PRO trims can also add Traffic Sign Recognition and the Intelligent Around View Monitor through packages. The SV brings a bigger touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a power driver seat and access to SV-only packages such as the Sport Edition. The SV 4x2 with a 5-foot bed launched $2,600 above an S Crew Cab 4x2.

The PRO-X makes heated front seats and a heated leather steering wheel standard and adds keyfob remote start. It launched $2,400 above an SV 4x2 with a 5-foot bed, though that SV can get both heated items through the All-Weather Package ($700) and add Remote Engine Start for $415. The PRO-X also brings Intelligent Key, LED fog lights and all-terrain tires.

With the Sport Edition, an SV came in $1,410 below the matching PRO trim, as a 4x2 against the PRO-X or as a 4x4 against the PRO-4X with the same 5-foot bed. It brings the off-road look and all-terrain tires, without the heated seats both PRO trims have as standard or the PRO-4X's locking rear differential.

The 5-foot PRO-4X launched $3,300 above the PRO-X and trades 3 MPG combined and 210 pounds of payload for 4x4 and its off-road hardware.

Which Trim Fits Which Buyer

A 4x2 King Cab S is the pick for the lowest launch price and the most payload, while a Crew Cab S or SV fits a budget with people in back. The PRO-X is the most fully equipped 4x2 Frontier, and the PRO-4X is the one for trails.

No Frontier seats more than 5, so a family that needs a third row should look at a three-row SUV such as the 2026 Nissan Pathfinder. It seats 8 as standard, holds 80.5 cubic feet of cargo behind the first row and tows up to 6,000 pounds, and its SV 2WD launched at $39,990.

Every 2027 Frontier uses the same 3.8-liter V6 and 9-speed automatic, so the drive system is the only powertrain choice you make. These details apply to every version:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rates the 2027 Frontier by drive, and the PRO-4X sits lowest:

On a full tank, those combined ratings work out to roughly 440 miles in a 4x2, 400 in other 4x4 versions and 380 in a PRO-4X, before towing or winter driving shortens them.

Nissan rates the strongest-towing 2027 Frontier at more than 7,100 pounds. Towing ratings change with the cab, bed and drive, and these are the ratings for 4 specific versions:

For any other version, ask our sales team for its towing rating.

Payload, the weight of passengers and cargo the truck itself can carry, also varies by configuration:

All versions share a 6,012-pound gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), the most the loaded truck may weigh, so heavier configurations such as a 4x4 or a 6-foot bed carry less payload.

Towing adds a second limit, the 11,960-pound gross combined weight rating (GCWR): the most the loaded truck and loaded trailer may weigh together. With a 7,000-pound trailer, that leaves 4,960 pounds for the truck, its passengers and its cargo. When it pulls a 7,000-pound trailer, even the lightest 2027 Frontier, an S King Cab 4x2 at 4,385 pounds empty, has room for no more than 575 pounds of people and gear. Without a trailer, every version carries far more, from 1,200 to 1,590 pounds, as the payload table above shows.

Bed, Cab and Size

The King Cab and the 2 Crew Cab bed lengths compare like this:

Measurement	King Cab, 6-ft Bed	Crew Cab, 5-ft Bed	Crew Cab, 6-ft Bed
Seats	4	5	5
Rear legroom	26.2 in	33.2 in	33.2 in
Bed cargo length	73.3 in	59.5 in	73.3 in
Box volume	49.6 cu ft	40.1 cu ft	49.2 cu ft
Wheelbase	126 in	126 in	139.8 in
Overall length	210.2 in	210.2 in	224.1 in

Both bed lengths are 19.4 inches deep and 44.5 to 61.4 inches wide, and every tailgate locks. Front legroom is 42.3 inches in both cabs.

The PRO-4X is the 2027 Frontier for trail driving, and it adds this hardware to the PRO-X's equipment:

• Electronic locking rear differential: locks both rear wheels so they turn together.
• Terrain Mode Selector: a choice of 4 modes (Road, Rock, Snow and Sand).
• Hill descent control: holds a slow, steady pace on steep downhills so you can concentrate on steering.
• Suspension: Bilstein off-road shocks.
• Underbody protection: an aluminum front skid plate and steel underbody skid plates.
• Ground clearance: 8.6 inches, the most of any 2027 Frontier.

Other 4x4 versions get part of that list: hill descent control is standard on every 4x4, and Terrain Mode comes on the SV 4x4, including the Sport Edition and Dark Armor, but not on the S 4x4. All 2027 Frontiers ride on an independent double-wishbone front suspension and a rigid rear axle with leaf springs.

Every 2027 Frontier has this driver-assistance equipment:

• Ahead: Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning and Intelligent Cruise Control
• Behind: Rear Automatic Braking, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and rear sonar
• Lanes and blind spots: Blind Spot Warning and Lane Departure Warning
• Driver and headlights: Intelligent Driver Alertness and High Beam Assist

Every version also has a 7-inch driver display. Each trim's standard equipment includes these items:

Traffic Sign Recognition and the Intelligent Around View Monitor come in packages on both PRO trims. Our explainers on Nissan safety and technology show how Nissan's driver-assistance systems work.

Nissan covers every 2027 Frontier with these warranty terms:

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has not published an overall rating for the 2027 Frontier. The Crew Cab holds 5 stars for side crashes and 3 stars for rollover resistance, with its frontal test not rated. The King Cab has not been rated in any test. Not rated is not a poor score, and new results post to NHTSA.gov as testing finishes.

Our service center has Nissan-trained technicians for your Frontier during the warranty and after it ends, plus Nissan Express Service for routine maintenance.

The 2027 Frontier comes in 9 exterior colors, and Alpine Metallic is the new one:

Glacier White · Afterburn Orange · Red Alert · Bluestone Pearl · Super Black · Boulder Gray Pearl · Tactical Green Metallic · Gun Metallic · Alpine Metallic
