2009 Nissan Frontier

You won't see major styling changes on the 2009 Frontier truck, but there are some notable updates:

  • New PRO-4X Model

  • Value Truck Packages that add extra equipment for less $$ than if items are ordered individually

  • Newly designed front headlights

  • Slight changes to the truck's grille

  • Two new 16" wheels; one on the SE and another on the PRO-4X truck

  • New 18" wheels on LE trucks

  • LE trucks have new seat cloth

  • Two new exterior colors, red brick and navy blue

  • V6 models have a new center radio and HVAC control stack

PRO-4X Nissan Frontier Truck

Exterior

Nissan's new PRO-4X Frontier offers sportier styling along with increased off-road capabilities. The truck has a body colored grille, bumpers, door handles and outside mirrors. Fog lights come with the package.

Interior

Inside the PRO-4X you'll find white-faced gauges and trip computer with chrome trim. The truck's steering wheel is red-stitched leather -- manual transmission pickups have a matching shift knob.

Opt for Nissan's Value Package on the CrewCab PRO-4X to get black leather heated front seats with red stitching -- 8-way power for the driver and 4-way for the passenger. The package includes a fold-down center armrest and heated outside mirrors.

PRO-4X Truck Off-Road Upgrades

  • Bilstein off-road high-pressure shocks

  • Additional skid plates to protect the oil pan and transfer case

  • Electronically controlled locking rear differential

  • 2-wheel or 4-wheel anti-lock brake controlled limited slip

  • Unique machine-finished 16-inch aluminum off-road wheels with BFGoodrich Rugged Trail tires

Frontier Frame

The Frontier's high tensile-strength steel, fully boxed ladder frame is lighter but stronger than conventional steel. The truck has a double-wishbone front suspension and solid axle rear suspension, with long suspension travel for good off-road capabilities.
