The pickup truck may have started life as a humble work vehicle, but modern platforms have unlocked its true potential. The 2023 Nissan Frontier is just one model year removed from a total overhaul and yet continues to impress Barrie Nissan customers who have laid eyes on it. The 2023 Frontier separates itself from its midsize truck rivals by offering out-of-the-box off-road capability, a standard 310-horsepower V6 engine, and a lot of available technology. Follow along with Barrie Nissan as we take a much closer look at what the 2023 Nissan Frontier has to offer.
Performance & Engine
Powertrain Specifications
Nissan engineers have set up the 2023 Frontier to succeed right from the jump. All trim grades are equipped with a naturally aspirated 3.8-litre, V-6 engine attached to a nine-speed automatic transmission. It will produce 310 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque.
4WD/Traction Management
The 2023 Nissan Frontier can take its passengers just about anywhere. Some of those paths, roads or trails will eventually be tough to cross. Drivers can easily switch between two-wheel drive, four-wheel drive high, and four-wheel drive low as required.
Off-Road Driving Support
Given the terrain that the 2023 Nissan Frontier is set to take on, drivers will need access to as much assistance as possible. Our manufacturing partner had developed the Intelligent Around View® Monitor with Off-Road Mode. This will give the driver different exterior camera views to be better able to navigate tough terrain.

Undulating terrain is the name of the game in off-road driving. The 2023 Nissan Frontier is able to glide over many obstacles with its underside free of low-hanging components. Additionally, the rear leaf springs are over the axle for additional protection.
