EXTERIOR OPTIONS

When you're looking for a truck that can haul just about anything, take a closer look at the Nissan Frontier. With the sliding bed extender and tailgate lock, hauling larger items is a breeze, and you can even catch some shut-eye in the back with the optional bed tent.

 

The 2016 Titan ensures you're driving a vehicle that looks as sharp as possible with optional stainless steel exhaust finishers and a chrome grille. Get an extra boost into your new truck with the optional chrome step rails.


ENGINE

Whether you choose the S, SV, or Pro-4X Titan model, your truck comes equipped with a V8 engine with 317 horsepower. The Frontier offers options to meet all of your driving needs. Choose the SV- 4-Cylinder with 152 horsepower or the SV V6 with 261 horsepower.

 
 

SEATING CAPACITY

Each Nissan Frontier model features a king cab with four doors and comfortable seating for four. The Nissan Titan also features a king cab, but it boasts six seats to fit the entire family or the whole crew.


NAVIGATION AND TECHNOLOGY

With the NissanConnect infotainment system, both the 2016 Titan and the 2016 Frontier keep you connected to music, social media, and even your phone. Use hands-free technology to make adjustments on the road, select your favorite apps on your smartphone, or rely on the system's 5-inch display to navigate through a city.

 

SAFETY FEATURES

The Nissan Frontier has a solid suite of essential safety features. The truck's Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) manages your steering and breaking, keeping an eye on any excessive or ineffective movements and compensating as necessary. The Frontier also has Zone Body Construction with both front and rear crumple zones and a steel frame that keeps the cab interior intact.

The 2016 Nissan Titan boasts some of the automaker's newest safety features to guarantee a safe ride no matter where you go or what you're towing. The rearview camera makes backing up a cinch, and the adaptive guidelines can help you line up with a trailer. If you're moving a heavy load, the truck's downhill speed control ensures that you're never out of control, and the vehicle's VDC helps keep the trailer in line, too.

TOWING POWER

 

No matter what you need to tow, the Nissan Frontier can handle it. This truck has a 6,500-pound towing capacity that never quits. The Nissan Titan takes towing one step further. The truck's high-strength steel ladder frame and purpose-built axle make it a towing machine, and the truck has been tested to tow over 12,000 pounds. The 2016 model's extended towing mirrors and tow mode mean you can take on any towing challenge much more safely.
