The 2012 Nissan Frontier would likely retain its refreshingly straightforward combination of four- and six-cylinder engines and rear-wheel drive (2wd) or four-wheel drive (4wd). Expect 2wd models to again be available only with the four-cylinder engine. It’s a 2.5-liter that should again be rated at 152 horsepower and 171 pound-feet of torque. Both 2wd and 4wd 2012 Frontiers are likely to again be available with the four-cylinder or a V-6. This is a 4.0-liter that should repeat at 261 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque. Both engines should again come with manual transmission – a five-speed with the four-cylinder, a six-speed with the V-6 – or with a five-speed automatic transmission.

The 2012 Frontier’s 4wd would remain a pickup-conventional “part-time” system not for use on dry pavement but equipped with low-range gearing for off-road use. Four-wheel disc brakes with antilock technology for better control in emergency stops would return as standard. V-6 Frontiers would additionally be equipped with an antiskid system designed to mitigate sideways slides. A return of the PRO-4X model would provide a 2012 Frontier boasting multi-surface tires, Bilstein-brand shock absorbers, additional skid plates, and a limited-slip rear differential with electronic locking. PRO-4X Frontiers have been limited to the V-6 but should continue available in both cab styles and with 2wd and 4wd.

Tow ratings wouldn’t change for model-year 2012: V-6 Frontiers would again be rated to pull 6,500 pounds and four-cylinder versions 3,500 pounds. Expect 2012 Frontier SL models to continue standard with 18-inch alloy wheels while other models repeat with 16-inch wheels and tires.
