The Nissan Frontier will see small price increases across its lineup for model-year 2018. That's fitting, since there are relatively few changes to the aging mid-size pickup truck scheduled for a model-year 2019 redesign. Expectations about quality and capability for the 2019 model are high, especially since the platform will be shared with Mercedes-Benz, which is putting out a called the X-Class for 2018.
You can expect 2018 Frontiers to increase in price between $200 to $600 over , but there will be a new trim in the Frontier lineup in the form of a Midnight Edition (available late fall) along with more standard features. For 2018, a backup camera (what Nissan calls the RearView Monitor) is standard across the lineup as is air conditioning, cruise control, Bluetooth smartphone connectivity, a 5-inch color display for audio and Siri Eyes Free.
The new Midnight Edition be offered as a crew cab with the 4.0-liter V-6 and automatic transmission in the SV trim; it can be ordered with a 4×4 or 4×2 drivetrain and in three colors (Magnetic Black, Gun Metallic and Glacier White).
