The Nissan Frontier is a mid-size pickup truck that has been a part of Nissan’s vehicle lineup since it first debuted on the mainstream auto market in 1997 as a compact truck. At the time of its initial launch, the Frontier was revolutionary. Over the first few years of its availability, it became a bestseller in Nissan’s vehicle lineup and morphed into a mid-size pickup truck as these types of trucks became more popular on the mainstream auto market. However, the Nissan Frontier has received only minor styling updates over the past 15 years—which means it is in major need of a redesign and has been for several years. The Nissan Frontier was scheduled to undergo its much-needed redesign for the 2021 model year. However, the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020 turned the entire auto industry on its head and delayed the release of the redesigned Frontier from the 2021 model year to the 2022 model year. Now, anticipation grows for the 2022 Nissan Frontier in Dallas.
While this delay was disappointing for many drivers who were looking forward to seeing what Nissan had in store for their Frontier for 2021, Nissan did not disappoint with their reveal of the all-new, completely redesigned 2022 Nissan Frontier.
If you’re in the market for a mid-size pickup truck, you have countless different models to choose between. However, the redesigned third-generation 2022 Nissan Frontier should definitely be on your list. Keep reading to learn more about 5 features that make the drivers await all-new 2022 Nissan Frontier in Dallas.
