2024 Nissan Frontier Capabilities & Hardbody Edition Package

The Nissan Frontier has built up quite a reputation for itself through the years. It might be hard to believe, but it has actually been on the lineup for nearly three decades now, having been first introduced back in 1997. Nissan has established itself a legacy in the compact pickup segment, though, so you know the Frontier wasn’t the first one they built. Before the Frontier, there was the Nissan Hardbody, which was the inspiration for the 2024 Nissan Frontier model’s new Hardbody Edition package. We’ll go over the details of this special edition package as well as the truck’s impressive capabilities and other highlighted features.

“We took some of those design elements and modernized them. Even if you don’t recognize or remember the original Hardbody, you’re still going to say, ‘That’s a cool truck.” We are proud of Nissan’s long legacy of compact pickup trucks. Frontier is our modern way of building on our legacy of excellence in the segment.”

– Hiren Patel, Project Lead Designer, Nissan Design America

The Hardbody Edition might only be a small part of the 2024 Nissan Frontier, but it’s certainly one of the most exciting things for the truck this year. Inspired by the truck from the ‘80s, the Hardbody Edition is built onto the Crew Cab SV 4x4 model and includes the following features and design cues:

• Three-spoke, heritage-styled 17” alloy wheels
• All-terrain tires
• Aluminum skid plate
• Black over-fenders
• Black side rail
• Mud flaps
• Bed-mounted sport bar
• Black-painted bumpers, mirrors, door handles, grille
• Black graphics, including 4x4 logo on front doors, unique tailgate logo

The 2024 Nissan Frontier is powered by a 3.8L direct-injection V6 engine tethered to a nine-speed automatic transmission, regardless of trim level or package. That enables it to generate up to 310 horsepower alongside 281 pound-feet of torque. Which, when taken into consideration alongside its rigid architecture, makes it capable of towing up to 6,640 pounds, which is an impressive number for a truck of its size. Performance and capabilities are further enhanced by features like the following:

• Four-wheel drive
• Electronic, shift-on-the-fly system
• Steel front skid plate
• Front tow hooks
• Hill Descent Control
• Four-wheel limited-slip system
• Bilstein off-road shock absorbers; PRO-X, PRO-4X
• Electronic locking rear differential; PRO-4X

While this might not have been the case in years past, just because a vehicle is a pickup truck doesn’t mean it needs to skimp in other aspects of the vehicle. That’s why every Nissan Frontier is packed full of incredible standard and available content. Check out some of its highlighted features and technologies right here:
