With fierce competition in the mid-size pickup segment, Nissan has plans to kick its production into gear in 2019 with the release of an all-new, next-generation Frontier. According to Steve Marsh, Vice President of Manufacturing, the truck will be assembled at Nissanâ€™s Canton plant in Mississippi with the sole goal of â€œbuilding the next generation of one of the best pickup trucks in America.â€

Since Marshâ€™s bold proclamation, speculators have been abuzz with chatter about the 2019 MY Frontier. To date, it has been reported that the truck may share its platform with the Nissan Navara, which is currently sold in Europe and South America. There have also been talks of Nissan launching the 2019 Frontier with a Cummins turbo diesel, which some unconfirmed reports have said that the variant will be rated for 200 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque. Other powerplant options are also likely to include a naturally aspirated V6 engine.

Timing for an all-new Frontier couldnâ€™t be better, especially since the pickup hasnâ€™t had a complete refresh in a number of years. Industry insiders are hopeful that new equipment, updated styling and a more refined interior will strengthen the already excellent value-proposition of the truck.Â
