Model Year Changes

What is new on the 2027 Nissan Frontier?

The 2027 Nissan Frontier adds a Sport Edition package on the SV grade, available on both 4x2 and 4x4. An All-Terrain Tire package also joins the SV, Alpine Metallic paint joins the color range, the PRO Convenience package gets a Qi2 wireless charger, and PRO grades can now add a moonroof.

Nothing under the skin moved. The 3.8-liter V6, the 9-speed automatic and the towing ratings all carry over, so a 2027 truck drives the way a 2026 truck does. The changes this year are about how you can equip one.

The Headline Change

What does the Sport Edition add to a 2027 Frontier SV?

The 2027 Nissan Frontier Sport Edition is a package on the SV grade that brings PRO-4X-inspired looks and some real off-road hardware. It adds black 17-inch wheels on all-terrain tires, an aluminum skid plate, LED fog lights, front accent lighting, a blacked-out front end and yellow stitched upholstery.

The reason it matters in a market like this one is simple. Plenty of Henry County buyers want the look and the tires without the full PRO-4X build, and until this year the SV had no route to either.

What is in the package

  • Black off-road-style 17-inch wheels on 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro all-terrain tires
  • Aluminum skid plate, LED fog lights and front accent lighting
  • Black lower front fascia, grille and mirrors
  • Sport badging on the bedside and the tailgate
  • Black upholstery with high-contrast yellow accent stitching

Nissan also keeps the Dark Armor package on the SV and the PRO-4X R package on the PRO-4X, so there are three distinct ways to change how a Frontier looks without changing what it tows.

The full PRO-4X build the new SV Sport Edition borrows its look from, with the same black wheels and all-terrain tires but the four-wheel-drive hardware underneath as well. That hardware is what the winter climb up US-220 asks for on the 51-mile run north to Roanoke, with Rocky Mount at the halfway point.

Work Numbers

How much can the 2027 Nissan Frontier tow and haul?

The 2027 Nissan Frontier tows up to 7,150 pounds and carries up to 1,590 pounds of payload when properly equipped. Both of those maximums belong to the S King Cab 4x2. Every other cab, bed and drivetrain combination rates lower, and adding equipment pulls the number down further.

That spread is the part worth reading before you buy. A Crew Cab PRO-4X is the most capable Frontier off pavement and the least capable one on a trailer hitch, because four-wheel-drive hardware and off-road equipment are weight.

If you tow a skid steer or a loaded equipment trailer on US-58 toward Danville every week, bring us the tongue weight and the gross trailer weight. We will check the rating on the exact truck rather than quoting you the brochure maximum.

A crew cab with a travel trailer hitched up. The Crew Cab PRO-4X is the lowest-rated Frontier for towing, not the highest, which is the opposite of what most buyers assume. Philpott Lake sits just west of Bassett, so a trailer behind a midsize truck is an ordinary sight here.

Figures from Nissan's 2027 Frontier King Cab and Crew Cab specification sheets, checked October 2026. Towing and payload vary by configuration and are reduced by options and equipment. Combined vehicle and trailer weight is capped at 11,960 pounds. Trailer Sway Control is standard on SV and PRO grades. Confirm the rating on the specific truck before you hitch anything to it.

Choosing a Grade

Which 2027 Frontier grade suits Henry County driving?

Most buyers around Martinsville land on the SV, because it is the grade that now takes the Sport Edition and the All-Terrain Tire package. The S is the honest work truck and the only King Cab. PRO-X is the two-wheel-drive off-road look, and PRO-4X is the one with four-wheel drive.

2027 Nissan Frontier grades, body styles and what each one is for
GradeDriveBodyWho it suits
S4x2 or 4x4King Cab or Crew CabThe work truck, and the only Frontier with the King Cab and its long bed
SV4x2 or 4x4Crew Cab, short or long bedThe volume grade, and the only one that takes the new Sport Edition or Dark Armor
PRO-X4x2 onlyCrew CabOff-road styling and all-terrain tires for a truck that stays on pavement
PRO-4X4x4 onlyCrew Cab, short or long bedGravel, mud and snow, with an electronic locking rear differential

The King Cab's rear-hinged doors and the narrow bench behind the front seats. It comes only on the S grade, and that back seat is the trade you make for the 73.3-inch long bed that carries a day of material to a job in Bassett, Collinsville or Ridgeway.

Four-wheel drive is not really a Martinsville question. It is a US-220 question. The Virgil H. Goode Highway climbs north between Cahas Mountain and the Blue Ridge at Boones Mill and crosses the Blue Ridge Parkway at Murray Gap, and that stretch holds ice long after town is clear.

Rocky Mount is only the halfway point on the hour-long run to Roanoke. If you make that drive through the winter, or your work takes you up gravel in Patrick County toward Stuart, the 4x4 answer is already written for you.

The work truck

S King Cab 4x2, with the 6-foot bed and the highest payload rating in the lineup at 1,590 pounds. For trades covering Bassett, Collinsville and Ridgeway it carries a day of material in one trip.

The tow rig

S or SV Crew Cab 4x2, rated at 7,070 and 7,000 pounds with the short bed. That covers a boat for Philpott, a car trailer, or a loaded equipment trailer for a job over in Eden or Reidsville.

The all-weather truck

PRO-4X 4x4, with off-road suspension and a locking rear differential, or an SV 4x4 with the new Sport Edition. Both are built for the gravel and the winter climb up US-220.

Powertrain

What engine does the 2027 Nissan Frontier use?

Every 2027 Nissan Frontier uses the same 3.8-liter VQ38 V6, rated at 310 horsepower at 6,400 rpm and 281 lb-ft of torque at 4,400 rpm, paired with a 9-speed automatic. There is no four-cylinder base engine and no turbo upgrade to buy, on any grade.

It is also a naturally aspirated engine on regular unleaded, built at Nissan's Decherd plant in Tennessee, and the truck itself is assembled in Canton, Mississippi. The fuel figures are the honest trade for that: real displacement and a ladder frame cost mileage.

S and SV, 4x2192421
PRO-X, 4x2192421
S and SV, 4x4172119
PRO-4X, 4x4162018

EPA estimates from Nissan's 2027 Frontier Crew Cab specification sheet, checked October 2026. Your mileage will vary with load, terrain, weather and how you drive. Compare ratings at fueleconomy.gov. The fuel tank holds 21.0 gallons.

The round trip to Danville and back is 60 miles of US-58. At the 4x2 combined figure that is roughly three gallons, and the 4x4 costs you about a third of a gallon more. Worth knowing before you decide you need four-wheel drive.

Cabin and Technology

What is the 2027 Frontier like inside?

The 2027 Nissan Frontier comes with an 8-inch touchscreen as standard and a 12.3-inch screen available on SV and the PRO grades. Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come on SV and PRO grades, along with a 7-inch driver display, up to four USB ports and five seats in the Crew Cab.

The 12.3-inch screen, available on SV and the PRO grades, with physical dials for climate and volume under it and the four-wheel-drive selector down by the driver's left knee. Dials beat a touchscreen menu on a washboard gravel road out past Stuart.

Cab and bed are worth settling before grade. The Crew Cab gives you 33.2 inches of second-row legroom and a 59.5-inch bed, or a 73.3-inch bed if you take the long one. The King Cab pairs four doors with the long bed and no usable back seat.

For 2027 the wireless charger in the PRO Convenience package moves to the Qi2 standard. It uses magnets to hold the phone square to the pad and a fan to keep it cool, which is a real fix for a phone that slides off on a rough road.

Standard driver assistance on every grade

Automatic Emergency Braking with Pedestrian Detection, Intelligent Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent Driver Alertness, Lane Departure Warning, Blind Spot Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, Rear Sonar System, Rear Automatic Braking, High Beam Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control.

Rear Automatic Braking earns its keep on a long-bed truck. Backing a 73-inch bed into a parking space at a job site is where most truck damage happens.

Buying Locally

Why buy a 2027 Frontier from Gunter Nissan in Ridgeway?

Frequently Asked Questions

What else do buyers ask about the 2027 Nissan Frontier?

What is new on the 2027 Nissan Frontier?

The headline change is a Sport Edition package on the SV grade, available on 4x2 and 4x4, with black 17-inch wheels on 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro all-terrain tires, an aluminum skid plate, LED fog lights, front accent lighting, a blacked-out front end and yellow stitched upholstery.

Nissan also adds an All-Terrain Tire package on the SV, a new Alpine Metallic paint color, a Qi2 wireless charger in the PRO Convenience package, and a moonroof package for the PRO grades ordered with the Convenience package.

How much can the 2027 Nissan Frontier tow?

Up to 7,150 pounds when properly equipped, in the S King Cab 4x2. Maximum payload is up to 1,590 pounds in that same configuration, and combined vehicle and trailer weight is capped at 11,960 pounds.

Every other configuration rates lower. A PRO-4X Crew Cab 4x4 with the long bed is rated at 6,310 pounds. Bring us your trailer weight and we will check the rating on the exact truck rather than quoting the maximum.

What is the difference between the Frontier PRO-X and the PRO-4X?

The PRO-4X is the four-wheel-drive off-road grade, with off-road suspension and an electronic locking rear differential. The PRO-X is the two-wheel-drive version, with the same off-road look and all-terrain tires but no four-wheel-drive hardware.

If your work takes you up gravel toward Stuart or you drive US-220 north through the winter, you want the PRO-4X. If you like the look and stay on pavement around Martinsville, the PRO-X costs less fuel and tows more.

Does the 2027 Frontier still come with a V6?

Yes, and it is the only engine offered. Every 2027 Nissan Frontier uses the 3.8-liter VQ38 V6 rated at 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, driving through a 9-speed automatic transmission.

There is no four-cylinder base engine, no turbo four and no hybrid in the Frontier lineup. It runs on regular unleaded, and the engine is built at Nissan's plant in Decherd, Tennessee.

What gas mileage does the 2027 Frontier get?

EPA estimates for the Crew Cab are 19 city, 24 highway and 21 combined in 4x2, and 17 city, 21 highway and 19 combined in 4x4. The PRO-4X is rated at 16 city, 20 highway and 18 combined.

The fuel tank holds 21.0 gallons. The 60-mile round trip to Danville on US-58 works out to roughly three gallons in a 4x2, and about a third of a gallon more in a 4x4.

Which 2027 Frontier cab and bed should I pick?

The King Cab comes only on the S grade and pairs a small back seat with the 73.3-inch long bed. The Crew Cab seats five with 33.2 inches of second-row legroom, and offers either a 59.5-inch bed or the same long bed.

Decide cab and bed before you decide grade. A Crew Cab with the short bed carries people well. A King Cab with the long bed carries material well. No single Frontier does both.

Do I have to drive to Danville or Roanoke to buy a Nissan truck?

No. Gunter Nissan of Martinsville is at 4760 Greensboro Rd in Ridgeway, four miles south of Martinsville on US-220 and a few hundred yards from Martinsville Speedway's administration building at 4201 Greensboro Rd.

Danville is 30 miles east on US-58, about 36 minutes, and does have a Nissan franchise. Roanoke is 51 miles north on US-220 with Rocky Mount at the halfway point. We are the closer store for Martinsville, Bassett, Collinsville, Ridgeway and Stuart.

Can I test drive a 2027 Nissan Frontier in Martinsville?

Yes. Call (276) 956-1212 or use the Frontier inventory page to see what is on the ground. Sales is open Monday to Friday from 9:00am to 7:00pm and Saturday from 9:00am to 5:00pm, and closed Sunday.
