You can cruise to work in style, or get down and dirty on the trails with the 2010 Nissan Frontier midsized pickup truck. It's versatile, practical, tough and affordable. Rear-wheel or 4-wheel drive configurations are available as are 2 body styles and 4 trims. All-in-all, there are 18 different trim levels to select from. Base models are called XE; SE trims are very well equipped; LE trims are luxurious and PRO-4X are made to tackle off-road terrain scenarios. The Frontier 4WD system works part-time and depends on an electronic transfer case for "on-the-fly" shifting.

2 engine choices are available for the 2010 Frontier by Nissan. The stock offering is a 2.5L 152hp 4-cylinder. It comes mated to either a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. Optionally, you can select the 4.0L 261hp V6 that cranks out 281 lb-ft of torque at 5600 RPM. This Best-in-Class V6 powerplant is coupled with a 6-speed manual (5-speed auto optional). Standard features for safety include front/side/curtain airbags, integrated electronic traction control, electronic Vehicle Dynamic Stability Control, anti-whiplash active frontal head restraints, 4-wheel ABS and tire pressure monitoring to name a few.

Optionally enjoy the following 2010 Frontier safety and technology features:

• Mud flaps, bed liners and cargo boxes;

• 1st and 2nd row curtain airbags;
• Keyless entry;

A basic carryover from last year, the Frontier 2010 Nissan is built upon a full-box ladder-style chassis. It's still showing off fresh redesigns in its grill, frontal fascia and interior instrument panel. More Best-in-Class honors have been awarded in terms of towing and hauling abilities. Maximum towing capacity is reported at 6500 pounds and the maximum payload is 1278 pounds. With an overall length of 205.5 inches and a 125.9-inch wheelbase, the Frontier remains well-balanced, even in corners, despite its over-4000-pound curb weight.

With its 21.2-gallon fuel tank and its ability to deliver an EPA-estimated 19/23 MPG urban/rural, the new 2010 Nissan Frontier will let you travel in comfortable style for up to more than 425 miles per fill-up. Seeing its main competition from the Toyota Tacoma, the Frontier is enjoying increases in sales levels currently. And of course, you'll easily find attractive options for Nissan financing available now as well. Coincidentally, the Frontier was awarded 4 stars for driver's side frontal crash tests and 5 out of 5 stars for passenger side front crash tests from the NHTSA. Be aware that rear seat leg room measurements are at least a little cramped, regardless of the trim selected.
