Performance Features

Every 2020 Nissan Frontier model is available with 4×4, a limited-slip locking rear differential, and hill descent control. This, plus the 9 inches of ground clearance, makes every Frontier model adept at handling off-road conditions. However, if your 2020 Frontier is intended for heavy off-road use, we recommend upgrading to the Pro-4X trim, as it adds Bilstein shocks, skid plates, all-terrain tires, tow hooks, and off-road high-legibility gauges.

Performance Specs

For 2020, the Nissan Frontier received an all-new powertrain. Gone are the four-cylinder and five-speed automatic from 2019. Instead, every 2020 Frontier sports a 4.0-liter V6 under the hood. It produces 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. That’s 109 horsepower and 110 lb-ft of torque more than the four-cylinder engine. The engine is paired to a buttery smooth nine-speed automatic transmission. The 2020 Frontier has a max towing capacity of 6,720 lbs, as well as a max payload of 1,460 pounds.

Available Features

The 2020 Nissan Frontier is a no-nonsense truck. However, that doesn’t mean it can’t be outfitted with some excellent features. Available options include a moonroof, integrated navigation, a 10-speaker Rockford Fosgate stereo system, the Utili-Track moveable tie-down system, heated seats, and more.
