2015 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X Review - Auto123.com

For a while, only two Japanese models survived: the best-selling Toyota Tacoma and of course the Nissan Frontier, which hasn't changed since 2005 -- an eternity in the auto industry. A week-long test with a 2015 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X revealed that this truck still has it in terms of capabilities. When is the Frontier due for a change. In other parts of the globe, Nissan already moved on from the Frontier and is now selling the Navara NP300. When will we actually see a replacement in North America. The completely redesigned 2016 Nissan Titan obviously is a much bigger priority for the Japanese manufacturer, but don't be surprised if Nissan speeds up the introduction of the next-gen Frontier in the months to come. Despite its age, however, the 2015 Nissan Frontier is nothing to scoff at, especially in PRO-4X trim. Unlike the base S model, which makes do with a 4-cylinder engine, the 2015 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X relies on the company's tireless 4. 0L V6 (as does the more upscale SV). Output is rated at 261 horsepower, backed by 281 lb-ft of torque. While manual transmissions have disappeared from full-size pickup trucks, they remain available in midsize trucks -- to the delight of a few hardcore owners who can't live without a third pedal.
