Exterior

The new front end features redesigned headlights, and the familiar angled-strut grille has a slightly refined appearance. The exterior gets a monochromatic appearance with a body-colored grille, bumpers, mirrors and door handles. New 16- or 18-inch wheels accent the side views. The Frontier is available in King Cab and crew cab body styles with either a 4x2 or 4x4 drivetrain.
