2027 Nissan Frontier: What's in stock, trim-level comparison, FAQ's.

    Updated 2026-10-03
    Quick Answer

    The 2027 Nissan Frontier is a body-on-frame midsize pickup built in Canton, Mississippi, sold as a King Cab with a 6-foot bed (S grade only) or a Crew Cab with a 5-foot or 6-foot bed, and it is the last truck in the class with a naturally aspirated V6. Every Frontier uses a 3.8-liter direct-injection V6 rated at 310 hp and 281 lb-ft, paired with a 9-speed automatic and rear-wheel or part-time four-wheel drive. The mechanicals carry over for 2027; the news is a $990 Sport Edition package on the SV grade, a Qi2 wireless charger, Alpine Metallic paint, and a starting MSRP of $32,490 plus $1,775 destination. Swope Nissan has 2 S, 9 SVs and 1 PRO-4X available right now.

    Inside the Nissan Frontier

    What changed for 2027 (and what didn't)

    The 2027 Frontier is a carryover year on the hardware. The 3.8-liter V6, 9-speed automatic, frame, cab and bed choices, and the 7,150-lb maximum tow rating are unchanged from 2026, and fueleconomy.gov had not posted separate 2027 ratings as of mid-September 2026, which fits an unchanged powertrain. What is new is packaging. The SV grade gains a $990 Sport Edition package on both 4x2 and 4x4 trucks: black off-road-style 17-inch wheels on 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro all-terrain tires, an aluminum skid plate, LED fog lights, front accent lighting, a black lower fascia, grille and mirror caps, Sport bedside and tailgate badges, and black cloth seats with yellow contrast stitching. PRO-X and PRO-4X can now add a Moonroof package alongside the Convenience package, the PRO Convenience wireless charger moves to the magnetic Qi2 standard with a cooling fan, and Alpine Metallic joins the paint chart. The base price rose $340 to $32,490. Trade coverage points to a redesigned Frontier for 2028 on the platform shared with the revived Xterra, so treat this as the final year of the current truck.

    Trim ladder and the value story

    The ladder runs S, SV, PRO-X and PRO-4X. S King Cab 4x2 with the 6-foot bed is $32,490 and the 4x4 version is $35,490, so four-wheel drive costs $3,000 at this level. King Cab is S only; every other grade is Crew Cab. S Crew Cab 4x2 with the 5-foot bed is $33,890, or $36,890 with 4x4. SV, the volume grade, is $36,490 (4x2, 5-foot bed), $36,990 (4x2, 6-foot bed), $39,790 (4x4, 5-foot bed) and $40,290 (4x4, 6-foot bed); it adds wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, standard Trailer Sway Control and access to the Dark Armor and $990 Sport Edition packages. PRO-X is the 4x2-only off-road look with Bilstein shocks at $38,890. PRO-4X, at $42,190 with the 5-foot bed and $42,690 with the 6-foot bed, adds the electronic locking rear differential, transfer case and fuel tank skid plates and the Off-Road Mode camera. Add $1,775 destination to every figure. The value play is SV 4x4 with Sport Edition at $40,780 before destination: all-terrain tires and a skid plate for $1,410 less than a PRO-4X, minus the locker and Bilsteins.

    How it stacks up vs Tacoma, Ranger, Colorado

    On paper the Frontier's 310 hp matches the Chevrolet Colorado's 2.7-liter turbo four and beats the Ford Ranger's 270-hp 2.3-liter and the Toyota Tacoma's 278-hp 2.4-liter turbo. Torque is where it loses: 281 lb-ft against 430 for the Colorado, 310 for the base Ranger and 317 for the Tacoma, and the turbo trucks make theirs lower in the rev range. Towing follows the same order. The Colorado is rated to 7,700 lbs and the Ranger to 7,500 lbs, versus 7,150 lbs for the Frontier and 6,500 lbs for the Tacoma. Fuel economy is a clear miss: 21 MPG combined for a 4x2 Frontier against up to 23 MPG for the base Ranger and 21 to 23 MPG for a gas Tacoma, and the Tacoma offers a 326-hp hybrid the Nissan cannot answer. The Frontier's case is price, simplicity and configuration. KBB lists starting prices of $34,040 for the Tacoma, $34,495 for the Colorado and $35,245 for the Ranger, while the Frontier King Cab lands at $34,265 with Nissan's $1,775 destination, and only the Frontier and Tacoma offer two cab styles and two bed lengths. Steering weight and a dated cabin are the usual review knocks.

    Pros and Cons

    Pros
    • The 310-hp 3.8-liter V6 is naturally aspirated and runs on regular unleaded, with no turbo or hybrid hardware to maintain.
    • A 7,150-lb maximum tow rating beats the Toyota Tacoma's 6,500 lbs and comes with a published 11,960-lb GCWR.
    • The $32,490 starting MSRP is the lowest in the class by KBB's count, and a 4x4 King Cab is only $3,000 more.
    • Two cab styles and two bed lengths (59.5-inch and 73.3-inch floors) give buyers a Crew Cab long bed that the Ranger and Colorado do not offer.
    • Ten driver assists are standard on every grade, including Rear Automatic Braking and Intelligent Cruise Control.
    • PRO-4X brings real hardware: Bilstein shocks, an electronic locking rear differential, 9.5 inches of front differential clearance and a 32.3-degree approach angle.
    • The $990 Sport Edition package puts 265/70R17 all-terrain tires and an aluminum skid plate on the SV grade for far less than the step to PRO-4X.
    Cons
    • At 281 lb-ft, torque trails the Colorado's 430 lb-ft, the Ranger's 310 lb-ft and the Tacoma's 317 lb-ft, all from turbocharged four-cylinders.
    • EPA combined economy of 21 MPG for 4x2 and 18 MPG for PRO-4X sits below the base Ranger's 23 MPG and the Tacoma hybrid's 23 to 24 MPG.
    • The 7,150-lb tow rating applies only to the S King Cab 4x2; a PRO-4X Crew Cab long bed is rated at just 6,310 lbs.
    • Payload tops out at 1,590 lbs and falls to 1,100 lbs on the PRO-4X long bed, while the Ranger is rated up to 1,805 lbs and the Colorado 1,700 lbs.
    • The 12.3-inch touchscreen and wireless CarPlay are locked out of the S grade, which makes do with an 8-inch screen and wired connections.

    Frequently Asked Questions about the 2027 Nissan Frontier

    Every 2027 Frontier uses a 3.8-liter direct-injection V6 rated at 310 hp at 6,400 rpm and 281 lb-ft at 4,400 rpm, paired with a 9-speed automatic. It runs on regular unleaded, is naturally aspirated and is built at Nissan's Decherd, Tennessee engine plant. Rear-wheel drive is standard and part-time 4x4 is available on every grade except PRO-X.
    The powertrain, chassis and body are carryover. New for 2027 are a $990 Sport Edition package on SV (all-terrain tires, black 17-inch wheels, aluminum skid plate, LED fog lights, yellow-stitched seats), a Qi2 wireless charger in the PRO Convenience package, a Moonroof package option on PRO-X and PRO-4X, and Alpine Metallic paint. The base price rose $340 to $32,490.
    Nissan's 2027 spec sheets list 19 MPG city, 24 highway and 21 combined for 4x2 trucks, 17, 21 and 19 for standard 4x4 trucks, and 16, 20 and 18 for the PRO-4X. Those match the 2026 EPA figures on fueleconomy.gov, which had not yet posted a separate 2027 listing as of September 2026. The fuel tank holds 21.0 gallons.
    The maximum tow rating is 7,150 lbs on the S King Cab 4x2, with a 715-lb tongue load and an 11,960-lb GCWR. Crew Cab ratings run from 7,070 lbs (S 4x2) down to 6,310 lbs (PRO-4X long bed). Payload tops out at 1,590 lbs on the King Cab 4x2; Crew Cab payloads range from 1,490 lbs to 1,100 lbs depending on grade and bed.
    The King Cab, offered on the S grade only, pairs rear-hinged doors and two jump seats with a 6-foot bed (73.3-inch floor, 49.6 cu ft). The Crew Cab seats five and comes with a 5-foot bed (59.5-inch floor, 40.1 cu ft) on all grades, or a 6-foot bed on SV and PRO-4X that stretches the wheelbase from 126.0 to 139.8 inches.
    MSRPs before $1,775 destination: S King Cab $32,490 (4x2) and $35,490 (4x4); S Crew Cab $33,890 (4x2) and $36,890 (4x4); SV Crew Cab $36,490 to $40,290 depending on bed and drivetrain; PRO-X Crew Cab 4x2 $38,890; PRO-4X Crew Cab 4x4 $42,190 with the 5-foot bed or $42,690 with the 6-foot bed. The Sport Edition package adds $990 to any SV.
    All grades include Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Driver Alertness, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Sonar, Rear Automatic Braking, High Beam Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control. Nissan markets the core group as Safety Shield 360. An Intelligent Around View Monitor is available on PRO-X and PRO-4X.
    Nissan covers the Frontier with a 3-year or 36,000-mile basic warranty and a 5-year or 60,000-mile powertrain warranty, as listed by KBB and Cars.com for the 2027 model. That matches what Toyota, Ford and Chevrolet offer on the Tacoma, Ranger and Colorado, so warranty is not a tiebreaker in this class.
