Nissan has added a backup camera and an upgraded base Frontier, along with a $600 price increase for the 2018 model year, Nissan announced.
Nissan's 2018 Frontier retails for at least $19,965 (including delivery fees), and is on sale now. Nissan will again offer the Frontier in King Cab or Crew Cab, rear-wheel drive or 4x4, and in five trim grades, including S, SV, Pro-4X, Desert Runner, and SL.
The 2018 Frontier adds Nissan's RearView Monitor across the lineup. The base S will now have air conditioning, cruise control, a Bluetooth hands-free phone system, a 5.0-inch color display, and Siri Eyes Free.
Nissan will also sell a Midnight Edition later in the model year that adds a gloss-black grille, 18-inch aluminum wheels, and other exterior upgrades.
The 2018 Frontier is again powered by two engine choices, including a 2.5-liter four-cylinder or 4.0-liter DOHC V-6 (261 horsepower).
While both engines are available with the S, the rear-wheel Desert Runner and SL Crew Cab offer only the V-6. The Pro-4X is only available in 4x4.
