2013 Nissan Frontier
The Nissan Frontier is a midsize pickup that
offers buyers much of the capability of a full-size pickup in a smaller, more
maneuverable and more fuel-efficient package.
The Frontier comes standard with a 2.5-liter
four-cylinder that makes 152 horsepower and 171 lb-ft. of torque, while an
optional 4.0-liter V6 produces 261 ponies and 281 lb-ft. of twist.
Four-wheel-drive is available as on option,
though only on V6-equipped Frontiers. Towing capacity is 3,500 pounds for
four-cylinder models, while rear-drive V6 models manage an impressive 6,500
pounds.
