The mid-size 2012 Nissan Frontier pickup comes in two cab styles-King Cab and Crew Cab. The King Cab has smaller, rear-hinged rear doors and the Crew Cab has full-size, front-hinged rear doors and a larger rear-seat area. The King Cab is available in a single bed length, while the Crew Cab is available in standard bed and long bed versions. The base S and SV Frontier King Cab rear-wheel drive trucks feature a 152-horsepower, 2.5L 4-cylinder engine. All other Frontiers are powered by a 4.0L V6 engine, making 261 horsepower and 281 lb-feet of torque. This predominantly aluminum, double-overhead-cam engine utilizes continuously variable valve timing, variable induction and a number of technologies to ensure smooth operation and efficiency. Four-cylinder models have a 5-speed manual transmission standard, while V6 models get 6-speed versions. A 5-speed automatic is available on both. On V6 models, a 4-wheel-drive system is available which features electronically controlled shift-on-the-fly engagement and a low range. The 4-wheel drive models also bring a 4-wheel limited-slip system. Hill Descent Control is a system intended to help maintain a steady, slow speed while descending especially steep slopes, while Hill Start Assist allows a smooth, controlled start on a steep incline without roll-back. Both features are standard on all 4-wheel drive models and an automatic transmission. The top-of-the-line SL includes the V6 engine and 5-speed automatic transmission, as well as additional features such as 18-inch aluminum wheels, fog lights, 8-way adjustable power driver’s seat and side step rails. For the off-road enthusiast, Nissan offers the PRO-4X edition, which is available in both the King Cab and Crew Cab SV V6-equipped Frontiers with either rear-wheel or 4-wheel drive. The package brings Bilstein performance shocks, an electronic-locking rear differential and anti-lock-brake-controlled limited slip. The PRO-4X also includes additional skid plates and 16-inch off-road tires. |
