2006 NY Auto Show
The Frontier includes a number of features shared with the Titan, including its rugged suspension design, innovative factory-applied spray-on bedliner, Utili-track bed channel tie-down system and fully boxed, all-steel frame.
The Frontier is offered in both King Cab and Crew Cab body styles and in 2WD and 4WD driveline configurations.
The Frontier's wheelbase is 9.8 inches longer than the previous generation’s, which helps enhance ride comfort and stability. The overall length of 205.5 inches is larger than the previous model (+2.6 inches King Cab, + 5.6 inches Crew Cab), though it remains a perfect "activity size" for buyers who don't need a true full-size pickup.
The Frontier provides exceptional acceleration, towing capacity and all-around off-roading ability, due in large measure to its powerful engine – a 4.0-liter DOHC V6 producing 265 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque.
The Frontier is offered with a choice of transmissions – an advanced 5-speed automatic, a 6-speed manual transmission or 5-speed manual (King Cab I4 model). Frontier 4WD models include a shift-on-the-fly 4-wheel drive system with 2WD/4H/4LO modes operated by an electronically controlled part-time transfer case.
