2020 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X

The 2020 Frontier is Nissan's mid-size pickup, a straightforward truck that competes with the Tacoma and Colorado. The ride is on the firm side, especially in the PRO-4X, but that's the trade-off for its off-road capability. Inside, the Frontier keeps a simple, functional cabin with easy-to-use controls and comfortable seats. Off-road hardware like Bilstein shocks, skid plates, and an electronic locking rear differential set the PRO-4X apart from the SV. Its 3.8L V6 makes 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, paired with a nine-speed automatic and four-wheel drive, which is plenty for trails but returns 19 mpg combined. The PRO-4X's off-road-tuned suspension and all-terrain tires mean a firmer ride on pavement than the SV, but you'll feel right at home on a rocky two-track.
