Vehicle Overview

The Nissan Frontier received a mid-cycle freshening for 2009. The minor face-lift will help distinguish the Frontier from the 2009 Suzuki Equator, which Nissan will build for Suzuki and which is based on the Frontier's platform. The Frontier is still the youngest of all midsize pickups; it came out just after the 2005 Toyota Tacoma. Towing and payload are comparable to the Tacoma, the segment's best-seller.
