2011 Nissan frontier change

]The 2011 Nissan Frontier’s styling doesn’t change. This remains arguably the brawniest-looking compact pickup thanks to a body inspired by the unabashedly muscular full-size Nissan Titan pickup. Frontier’s “Baby Titan” cues include Nissan’s “angled strut” grille plus big bumpers, short sheetmetal overhangs, and large, stamped-steel geometric fender flares.

Frontier is built on the same stout, solid-rear-axle platform that underpins the Nissan Pathfinder and Xterra SUVs. Nissan also for a brief time supplied Frontiers to Suzuki, which re-trimmed them for sale as the Equator pickup.

Frontier gets lots of mileage out of just one chassis length and two body styles. Key rivals offer two or three of each. Frontier features an extended cab, which Nissan calls the King Cab, and an eponymous Crew Cab. Both ride a 125.9-inch wheelbase. Wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear axles and Frontier’s is on par with that of most other extended- and crew-cab compact pickups. Frontier also falls in step by equipping its King Cab with two small, rear-hinged back doors that don’t open independently of the front doors. It fits its Crew Cab with four conventional side doors. Kings have a pair of small rear-seat cushions. Crews get a full-width rear bench. Both rear compartments are undersized even in a class where back-seat room is almost always tight. Nissan provides a class-competitive 6.1-foot-long box as the sole King Cab cargo bed. The Crew Cab comes standard with a 4.9-foot bed — among the shortest in the category – but is also available with the 6.1-foot box.

The 2011 Frontier lineup again consists of four models, though their labels change slightly. The 2011 Nissan Frontier S is still the entry-level model. Onto the next rung in place of the SE model slips the newly introduced 2011 Frontier SV model. The off-road-styled Frontier PRO-4X model returns. But the fanciest 2011 Frontier is renamed the SL model instead of the LE and is now available only in the Crew Cab body style.
