They might be turned off to a mid-sized SUV due to its lack of space, safety or convenience. However, here at Ricart Nissan, our inventory includes an SUV that's classified as a mid-size, but does a lot more than your average SUV: the 2018 Nissan Pathfinder.

2020 Nissan Frontier

The New 2020 Nissan Frontier

The 2020 Nissan Frontier, which was first unveiled in 1997, has since then become one of Nissan's most popular pickup trucks. Scheduled to hit dealerships in spring, the 2020 Frontier is expected to lead the class in horsepower and deliver a fuel-efficient performance. Powering the Frontier for 2020 is an all-new powertrain — a 3.8-liter direct injection V6 paired to a responsive nine-speed automatic transmission. The new power plant will connect to the wheels through an equally new nine-speed automatic transmission. Both of these upgrades are "expected" to be used in the next-generation Frontier that's due next year, Nissan says. Three body configurations will be available: an extended cab for the S and SV trims; a crew cab with a 59.5-inch bed for S, SV, and Pro-4X trims; and a crew cab with a 73.3-inch bed in SV trim. The Frontier Pro-4X comes standard with four-wheel drive as well as a locking rear differential. There are a few changes to the 2020 Frontier’s standard features, as they now include a leather-wrapped shift knob, a tilt steering column, power door locks, and power windows. While the 2020 Nissan Frontier will soon arrive in dealerships, it won’t be long before the next generation trucks arrive for the 2021 model year. Contact us here at Ricart for availability.
