The 2025 Nissan Frontier Levels Up On And Off-Road
There’s a lot going on with the 2025 Nissan Frontier, which has been refreshed to better take on the likes of its midsized truck competition. New styling should help, with an updated front fascia, and grille, as well as new tailgate finishers for Pro-X and Pro-4X trims. The paint you see here is new too, dubbed “Afterburn Orange.” Inside, there’s a new dash that houses (in SV and higher trims) a 12.3-inch display with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto functionality. Nissan also adds a telescoping steering wheel as standard along with four-way powered passenger seats on Pro-X, Pro-4X, and SL trims. Any Frontier above the SV trim will also benefit from a six-way powered driver’s seat with two-way lumbar adjustment.
Nissan will offer greater availability of its Crew Cab configuration, now found in SV Pro-4X and SL trims. The Crew Cab packs a six-foot bed as well, and the Frontier as a whole sees a boost in trailering capacity to 7,150 pounds with a 500-pound tow capacity increase on all trims. Pro-4X trims see further updates with a newly updated surround-view camera system intended to be more helpful off-road. In that vein, Nissan offers an Off-Road Mode camera view that can be used (up to 12mph) to spot obstacles. Other Pro-4X and Pro-X updates include an electronic locking diff (4X), all-terrain tires, Bilstein suspension, and updated looks with sweet Lava Red tow hooks.
The newly refreshed Frontier gets a host of standard safety features, from lane departure warning to blind-spot mentoring, rear cross-traffic alters, standard parking sensors, automatic high beams, and adaptive cruise control. SL trims get traffic sign recognition in addition to their luxury-focused equipment, which consists of leather seats, a heated leather wheel, LED lighting, and a Fender 10-speaker sound system. Pricing has yet to be announced, but we should hear more later this summer.
