Nissan has the longest history in the U.S. among import automakers of selling compact and midsize pickup trucks. Its current small truck, the Frontier, is available with a choice of four-cylinder or V-6 power, and rear- and four-wheel-drive versions are offered. With seating for four or five depending on the cab style, the Frontier competes with the Toyota Tacoma and Honda Ridgeline.
New standard features include Bluetooth cell phone connectivity, manual air conditioning, cruise control, steering wheel audio controls, a front sunglasses holder and an upgraded stereo. The available navigation system now has enhanced voice recognition and device control, and the Frontier can also have the automaker’s NissanConnect Apps smartphone integration for iPhone and Android along with SiriusXM TravelLink and weather information.Â
