2024 Nissan Frontier PRO-X

The 2024 Frontier is Nissan's mid-size pickup, slotting between the compact Maverick and full-size Titan. It squares off against the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado, and Ford Ranger in the mid-size truck segment. The V6 pulls strongly from low revs, and the nine-speed shifts smoothly, making this one of the more eager mid-size trucks. The ride is firm and a bit busy over broken pavement, which is the trade-off for its composed, truck-like handling. The cabin is straightforward and durable, with comfortable seats and a simple layout that focuses on function. Two-wheel drive and Bilstein off-road shocks distinguish the PRO-X from the rear-drive SV, but it's only available as a Crew Cab. The 3.8L V6 makes 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, routed through a nine-speed automatic to the rear wheels, enough to hustle the Frontier along eagerly. The PRO-X's Bilstein dampers and off-road-tuned springs give it a controlled, firm ride on pavement and more composure on dirt roads than a standard Frontier.
