Latest Nissan News For Seattle, Tacoma, And Bellevue Washington
Great news, mid-size truck shoppers! The 2018 Frontier is now available for sale at Kirkland Nissan in Seattle, Washington. If you haven’t had a chance to check out this all-new model, you’ll want to schedule your test drive in one today.
 
Since 1998, the Frontier has been a staple in Nissan’s line-up, delivering light commercial operators and truck enthusiasts with ample power and off-road capabilities. However, over its 20 years, the Frontier’s looks and standard features have largely remained unchanged – until now. 
 
For the 2018 MY, Nissan has given the Frontier a full refresh since its second-generation unveiling, which debuted in 2005. Enhancements now include the addition of a standard RearView Monitor across all models and updated base grade content, such as air conditioning, cruise control, a Bluetooth Hands-free Phone System, 5.0-inch color display audio, and Siri Eyes Free. 
 
The 2018 Frontier is available in both King Cab and Crew Cab body styles and in 4x2 and 4x4 driveline configurations, along with a choice of two powerful engines: a 4.0-liter DOHC V6 rated at 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque and a 152-horsepower 2.5-liter inline 4-cylinder engine (which is available only on the King Cab). Five well-equipped trim grades are also offered: Frontier S (with a 4-cylinder or V6 engine), SV, PRO-4X (4x4 only), Desert Runner (4x2 V6 only) and SL (Crew Cab V6 only).
 
But, that’s not all. Later this year, a new Midnight Edition Package will also be available on 2018 Frontier trucks. It will include a gloss black grille, 18-inch gloss black aluminum-alloy wheels, semi-gloss black step rails, body-color front and rear bumpers, black outside rearview mirrors and door handles, and black badging. Frontier owners can add a factory-direct Midnight Edition to Crew Cab SV 4x2 and 4x4 automatic transmission models in a choice of Magnetic Black, Gun Metallic and Glacier White.

Last fall, Nissan announced that their Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant in Mississippi will be the new home of the next-generation Frontier pickup truck. And since then, Frontier fanatics have been anxiously awaiting more details of this highly anticipated mid-size workhorse. 
 
Nissan has yet to release a timeline for the redesigned Frontier, but automotive speculators expect that the newcomer will go into production this year in preparation to launch the 2019 MY truck. It has also been confirmed by a top Nissan executive that the all-new Frontier will feature a V6 engine under the hood. As for what kind of six-cylinder engine, that’s still to be determined. However, industry insiders expect it to be a naturally aspirated V6 with a focus on reliability, making it an ideal contender as a work truck.
 
 
The timing for a next-gen Frontier couldn’t be better, as the mid-size pickup has been long overdue for a complete refresh. It certainly could benefit with newer equipment, updated styling, and a more refined interior to contend with modern rivals. Then again, for many Frontier drivers, they prefer the current model just as it is since it offers affordable work truck abilities, a configurable cargo box, and nice driving dynamics.
 
But, as we have seen with other Nissan refreshes, the best just keeps getting better – and we expect the same with this mid-size pickup.
