J.D. Power has recognized the Nissan Frontier as the most reliable model in the midsize pickup segment, in its 2021 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, Nissan said.
J.D. Power surveyed owners about their 2018 model year vehicles, Nissan said. The study measured the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles during the first three years after purchase.
The Frontier ranked at the top of its category with a score of 106 problems per 100 vehicles, Nissan said. It is the third year in a row the Frontier has ranked in the top spot for the midsize pickup segment.
Nissan introduced the 2022 Frontier in February. It goes on sale this summer.
The 2022 Frontier has a standard 310-horsepower, 3.8-liter direct injection V6 engine. It provides 281 lb.-ft. of torque.
The engine is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. Its towing capacity is rated at up to 6,720 pounds.
Four-wheel drive models feature a shift-on-the-fly four wheel drive system, with modes operated by an electronically controlled part-time transfer case.
The PRO-4X model adds an electronic locking differential, Bilstein off-road shock absorbers and underbody skid plates.
An available high-utility bed includes a factory-applied spray-on bedliner and Utili-track Channel System.
Inside the bed, there are two standard stop lamp lights mounted on the back of the cab and two available LED cargo bed lights.
On the interior, there’s a 9-inch color touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard. A 7-inch driver assist display offers information in front of the driver.
The 2022 Frontier has Nissan’s Intelligent Around View Monitor with moving object detection and off-road mode. The monitor creates a bird’s eye view of the vehicle, stitching together views from four mounted cameras.
Available safety features include automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, blind spot warning, rear cross traffic alert, lane departure warning, high beam assist and rear automatic braking.
Intelligent forward collision warning, tire pressure monitoring with alert and rear door alert are standard.
