Across the border waits a beast - a snarling diesel-toothed monster, with its back lined in chrome and its tires stomping against the ground. This V8 prowls the streets of Mexico, its six-speed manual transmission delivering a throaty growl with every mile. Itâ€™s ferocious; itâ€™s powerful; itâ€™sâ€¦ refusing to come to Seattle.

Recently Nissan revealed the 2018 Frontier NP300. This twin-turbo platform has already revved to the top of the charts in Mexico, decimating the competition with its low-range 4x4 drivetrain. Seattle critics, however, canâ€™t afford to go down south to see it - and theyâ€™re now clamoring for a U.S. release.

Will it happen?

According to TFL Truck, Nissan is considering bringing the NP300 to the United States. High consumer interest has proven the viability of a diesel Frontier, and the platform could serve as a direct competitor for the Ford F-150 and the Toyota Tacoma. Should it cross the border, critics anticipate that it would boast a 2.5L turbocharged engine, yielding 161 HP and 297 lb.-ft of torque. A six-speed manual transmission would provide superior handling, allowing drivers to control every gear; while an estimated 5,000-pound payload capacity would promise mid-size adaptability, accommodating day-to-day hauls with ease.

No official confirmation about the Frontier NP300â€™s arrival has been given - but we have our fingers crossed that this diesel beast will make its way to Seattle.
