Mid-size styling once proved the bane of the pick-up market - forcing drivers to sacrifice performance for convenience, trading power for maneuverability. Less was never more.Â
Nissan has finally changed this - connecting Seattle drivers to its 2018 Frontier SV. This pick-up (despite proving more compact than its Ford and Toyota brethren) delivers exceptional capability, offering a V6 engine that will rev through every task with ease.
As Nissan explains, the 2018 SV is no ordinary mid-size platform. It’s instead a beast on the backroads. Beneath its hood rumbles a 4.0L DOHC 24-valve V6, which yields 261 HP and 281 lb.-ft of torque. An electronic drive-by-wire throttle anchors the chassis, ensuring seamless bursts of power; while a five-speed automatic transmission promotes deft gear responses by eliminating down-shift dragging. 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains are available, allowing consumers to define their payload needs (haul up to 1,430 pounds); and a Dana 44 rear axle creates a stable ride, locking as needed to balance the suspension on harsh terrains.
To further bolster the mid-size market, the 2018 Frontier also offers segment-leading performance - with its Class IV hitch receiver accommodating up to 6,710 pounds. Compromise no more, Seattle.
