2027 Nissan Frontier Release Date, Pricing & Specs – The 2027 Nissan Frontier midsize pickup is now arriving at U.S. dealerships. Built in America and powered by a proven V6, this model-year update brings modest pricing increases, a new value-oriented Sport Edition package, and carryover capability that keeps it competitive against the Toyota Tacoma, Ford Ranger, and Chevrolet Colorado.
2027 Nissan Frontier Release Date
Nissan confirmed that the 2027 Frontier reaches U.S. dealerships in June 2026 (summer 2026). As of late July 2026, the trucks are at or arriving at dealers nationwide.
This is a carryover model year based on the third-generation Frontier introduced for 2022. A full redesign is expected for the 2028 model year on a new platform shared with the revived Xterra.

What’s New for the 2027 Nissan Frontier?
The biggest addition is the Sport Edition package ($990) available on SV 4×2 and 4×4 models. It delivers PRO-4X-inspired style and light off-road upgrades at a lower price point:
- Black lower front fascia, grille, and mirrors
- “Sport” badging on the bedside and tailgate
- Black 17-inch off-road-style wheels with 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro all-terrain tires
- Aluminum skid plate
- LED fog lights and front accent lighting
- Black interior with high-contrast yellow accent stitching and “Sport” details
Other updates include a new Alpine Metallic paint option, a Moonroof package available with the Convenience package on PRO-X and PRO-4X, and an upgraded Qi2 wireless phone charger (with magnetic alignment and cooling) in the PRO Convenience package.
A limited 250th Anniversary Edition (2,500 units built in July 2026) adds a subtle Stars-and-Stripes tailgate badge on PRO-4X models at no extra cost, marking America’s 250th birthday and Nissan’s U.S. manufacturing milestone.
Powertrain, Capability, and Specs
Every 2027 Frontier comes standard with a 3.8-liter naturally aspirated V6 producing 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. Rear-wheel drive is standard; four-wheel drive is available or standard on higher trims.
Maximum towing capacity reaches approximately 7,150–7,160 pounds (when properly equipped). Maximum payload is up to 1,590 pounds on the base configuration. The truck is available as a King Cab (S grade only) or Crew Cab with 5-foot or 6-foot bed options.
The Frontier is assembled at Nissan’s Canton Vehicle Assembly Plant in Mississippi. The V6 engine is built at the Decherd Powertrain plant in Tennessee.
Availability and Buying Advice for U.S. Shoppers
The 2027 Nissan Frontier is currently reaching dealers across the United States. Inventory will build through the summer and fall of 2026. Shoppers looking for the most off-road style without stepping up to the full PRO-4X should prioritize the SV Sport Edition.
Check local Nissan dealers for current stock, exact pricing (including any regional incentives), and test-drive availability. The Frontier remains one of the most affordable midsize trucks with a traditional V6, dual cab styles, and dual bed lengths—advantages that still set it apart in the segment.
