Frontier frame and suspension

Engineered to make every day epic

Midsize trucks see abuse — lots of it. That’s why the all-new Frontier is beefed-up and overbuilt in all the right places, with ample ground clearance to help you get over big obstacles, and suspension ready to help smooth out even the toughest terrain. 

Full-length, fully boxed frame

No corners were cut with Frontier’s full-length, fully boxed frame. A strong frame is what durability is all about, and Frontier has strength, to the core.

Ground clearance, angle approach and departure

For maximum ground clearance, approach and departure angles, Frontier’s underside is free of low-hanging components, and has a rear suspension with the leaf springs over — instead of under — the rear axle.

Suspension that performs

Engineered for toughness and durability while maximizing the tires’ contact patch with the ground, Frontier’s front suspension helps it maintain grip in a variety of conditions. In the rear, the overslung rigid leaf spring design helps deliver both off-road prowess and high-load durability.

Frontier off-road performance and technology

The future of 4-wheeling

From a driver-selectable 4WD to an available hill descent control, you’ve got serious off-road credentials with the all-new Frontier. And with new technological innovations like the available Intelligent Around View Monitor with Off-Road Mode, you’ll get the help you need to conquer tougher terrain, with more confidence than you’ve ever felt in a midsize truck.

Hill descent control

When driving down a steep grade in 4WD, the available hill descent control can help. Just push the button, ease your foot from the accelerator, and this system automatically maintains speed and brake pressure to help provide a controlled descent.

Hill start assist

Charge up that mountain. When starting on steep hills from a stop, hill start assist will help keep you from rolling backwards. It holds brake pressure for a few seconds, allowing you time to switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

Active Brake Limited Slip
