How has the 2022 Nissan Frontier pickup been updated?

New 2022 Nissan Frontier style and design

Pickup trucks can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Sometimes you want a gigantic beast, other times you need something smaller, and still other times you need something right in the middle. Nissan likes to dub the Frontier the “right-sized” pickup, as it falls into that “just right” territory for everyday commutes as well as weekend jobs or leisure, which is just what we need here in Duluth, MN. For 2022, the Frontier has gotten a major overhaul and redesign. Read ahead to take a look at some of the new 2022 Nissan Frontier style and design elements, as well as some of its vital statistics, from Krenzen Nissan. 

Exterior 

The first thing you might notice about the 2022 Nissan Frontier is its bold and rugged new fascia and grille. It’s a more aggressive style and design that harkens back to the old Nissan Hardbody pickup truck, which won numerous off-road races in the ‘80s and ‘90s. The headlights are a new design that works to frame the grille, while the whole front end evokes elevated confidence.

In the back, the new taillights are designed to feel more attached to the body sides, and the rear fenders are blended with the rear bumper to help finish off the truck’s aggressive stance. 

Interior 

The cabin of the 2022 Frontier is driver-centric and offers convenience and utility to make everything easier. It offers an available nine-inch color touchscreen display, the best in its class. Another best-in-class feature? The standard seven-inch Advanced Driver Assist Display behind the steering wheel for the driver puts important info in clear view. You will also find four liters of storage in the center console, which is almost double what you’ll find in most trucks in this class. And you can experience all this while seated in the standard front Zero Gravity seats for added comfort.

Capability 

The 2022 Frontier doesn’t just impress with looks—it also gets the job done. It’s equipped with a standard V6 engine capable of producing 310 horsepower and 281 lb.-ft of torque. It can tow as much as 6,720 pounds when properly equipped, and its maximum payload capacity stands strong at 1,610 pounds.
