    Nismo Frontier

    At a Glance: 2005 Nissan NISMO Frontier

    The roll-out of new 2005 Nissan Frontier models continues with the debut of the NISMO Off-Road Frontier, a specially equipped model designed to take Frontier’s potent off-road performance to the next level. The NISMO Frontier is offered in both Frontier King Cab and Frontier Crew Cab body configurations and in a choice of 4WD and 2WD drivelines.

    Drawing on Nissan’s extensive motorsports and off-road racing history, the new model was developed in conjunction with engineers from NISMO, Nissan’s Motorsports group. This new truck offers an extensive list of performance-oriented parts, including off-road tuned Bilstein performance shocks, skid plates and unique 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with aggressive BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A P265/75R16 off-road tires. While NISMO performance components went on sale in 2004, the 2005 Frontier is Nissan’s first NISMO model offered for sale in North America.

    Every NISMO Frontier also provides an exceptional level of performance with use of off-road traction-enhancing technologies, including Hill Descent Control (HDC) and Hill Start Assist (HSA), as well as an electronic locking rear differential and 4-wheel limited slip for 4WD models and 2-wheel limited slip for 2WD models.

    Like the other 2005 Frontier models, the NISMO Frontier’s authentic truck credentials begin with the solid foundation provided by the F-Alpha platform shared with the full-size Nissan Titan pickup. The 2005 Frontier, which is larger in nearly every dimension than the previous generation, includes a fully boxed, all-steel frame and the newly designed 4.0-liter 24-valve DOHC V6 rated at 265 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque, giving Frontier more horsepower than any mid-size truck. The engine is part of the acclaimed Nissan VQ engine series utilized in the Nissan 350Z.

    The NISMO Frontier also shares a number of significant full-size hardware features with the Titan, such as its rugged truck styling, factory-applied spray-in bedliner and Utili-track bed channel tie-down system. The NISMO Frontier is assembled at Nissan's manufacturing facility in Smyrna, Tennessee.
