Nissan Frontier
The Frontier is Nissan's only pickup. It received an update last year but will remain unchanged for 2026. Unlike many of its direct competitors, this midsize truck doesn't rely on a turbocharged engine and instead uses a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre V6. Output is rated at 310 horsepower, while maximum towing capacity is 6,850 lbs. The Frontier is available with two different cab configurations and two bed lengths.
