Starting at $34,000, the 2024 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SV Long Bed 4×4 is an affordable pickup with a reminder of the line’s past success.
Frontier enters the new model year with a throwback touch in the shape of the Hardbody Edition, a nostalgic tribute to the original Nissan Hardbody pickup of the 1980s that’s sure to connect with many generations. Available on Frontier SV Crew Cab 4×4, the Hardbody Edition features heritage-styled 17-inch wheels, retro-inspired decals, all-terrain tires, a sport bar, black exterior trim and other great design features. The limited-edition package is priced at $3,900.
An aluminum skid plate, black over-fenders, a black side rail, mud flaps and a bed-mounted sport bar contribute to the retro-rugged look. Just like its ’80s namesake, the Hardbody Edition wears black-painted bumpers, mirrors, door handles and grille. Completing the package, the truck wears black graphics that deliver throwback cool, with a large “4×4” logo on the front doors and a tailgate graphic that features a cut-out “Nissan” logo, replacing the truck’s typical Nissan tailgate emblem.
The 2024 Frontier also adds an SL grade on Crew Cab models. It bundles several appealing features – such as LED lighting, leather-appointed seating, a Fender 10-speaker audio system and more. This reflects customer interest in a highly equipped midsize truck.
Frontier keeps drivers informed, entertained and connected with convenient technology and advanced driver assistance features. It starts with a 7-inch drive-assist display and an 8-inch infotainment touchscreen, with a 9-inch infotainment screen available, as well. Both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are included as standard for convenient smartphone connectivity, with wireless Apple CarPlay included on the PRO-grade models. A wireless device charging pad also helps keep phones charged without cables on the PRO-grade models.
The 2024 Nissan Frontier offers an array of bed lengths, drivetrain configurations and grades so that shoppers can pick the model that suits their needs, including the PRO-X and PRO-4X that whet the appetites of those heading off-road. The Frontier King Cab is offered with a 6-foot bed, the Crew Cab S and PRO-X/PRO-4X models feature a 5-foot bed and the Crew Cab SV, which is what I drove, is offered with either a 5-foot or a 6-foot bed.
Additionally for 2024, available NissanConnect Services now includes a three-year trial, up from a six-month trial previously. The telematics feature works with the MyNISSAN smartphone app and includes remote door lock/unlock, remote engine start/stop, vehicle health report, emergency calling and Nissan Skill for Amazon Alexa2.
The 2024 Nissan Frontier has a strong foundation that helps it live up to customer demands. Capable performance comes from a standard 310-horsepower, 3.8-liter direct-injection V6 engine, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Coupled with the truck’s tough, fully boxed ladder frame, the powertrain helps enable a towing capacity of up to 6,640 pounds. The engine also delivers 17 miles per gallon in the city and 22 miles per gallon on the highway.
