Exterior Design

You won’t mistake the 2024 Nissan Frontier Hardbody Edition for its counterparts because this truck offers a retro look that’s a throwback to models from the ’80s and ’90s. The Hardbody Edition is a package of exterior features you can add to the SV Crew Cab trim, which means it has four doors and a 59.5-inch bed. An aluminum front skid plate and tow hooks adorn the front end, and Hardbody Edition mud flaps leave an impression on everyone you leave in the dust.

The Frontier Hardbody Edition has an aggressive stance with its black front and rear bumpers, door handles, side mirrors, and overfenders that will turn heads everywhere you go. Black exhaust finishers and decals only add to the appeal of this truck’s old-school design. You’ll love the way this Frontier sits on 17-inch Heritage aluminum alloy wheels, and the Hankook Dynapro AT2 all-terrain tires are durable and ready to ride.

For off-road enthusiasts, the sport bar and off-road rails are functional and unique to this package. They also give you the confidence you need to take this truck everywhere you want to go. The Hardbody Edition gets a Class IV tow hitch receiver with a seven-pin wiring harness to make towing convenient and hassle-free. Plus, LED under-rail bed lighting and overhead cargo bed lighting ensure it’s easy to find what you’re looking for or hitch up a trailer at night.

Available accessories from Nissan can enhance your driving experience in the Frontier Hardbody Edition. Opt for the off-road step rails for an easy way to get in and out of the truck, or add the sliding bed extender so you can haul more gear.

Engine Specs

Power for the retro-themed Nissan Frontier Hardbody Edition comes from a 3.8-liter direct injection V-6 engine mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission. This engine pumps out a whopping 310 horsepower and 218 lb-ft of torque for a thrilling drive both on and off the pavement. Every Frontier Hardbody Edition has four-wheel drive so you can travel without limits, and the Dana rear axle is designed to improve off-roading. With the switch-operated two-speed transfer case, you can easily switch to four-wheel drive with the touch of a button.

A tow-haul driving mode makes pulling a load a breeze. With its 6,350-pound towing capacity, this truck can pull your toys or whatever you need it to so you can accomplish important tasks. It has a payload capacity of up to 1,310 pounds, which means you can load up your gear and go.

Performance

Whether you’re cruising on the highway or taking to the trails in your 2024 Frontier Hardbody Edition, the standard independent double-wishbone front suspension and stabilizer bar and overslung multi-leaf rear suspension make for a smooth ride. However, to enhance your comfort on any drive, you can upgrade to the NISMO off-road suspension lift kit. With this upgraded suspension system, you’ll get a 1.5-inch lift up front and 1 inch in the rear for higher ground clearance. An active grille shutter and tailgate spoiler improve the truck’s aerodynamics for less resistance and better fuel efficiency.

Interior Amenities

The Nissan Frontier is loaded with amenities and comforts to provide you with a welcoming cabin you won’t mind spending time in, and the Hardbody Edition is no different. This truck may have a retro look, but inside, it’s modern and inviting. Premium cloth seats, a heated leather steering wheel, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror ensure you can relax when you’re behind the wheel. Dual-zone automatic climate control and heated front seats mean you’ll be cozy in any type of St. Louis weather. The six-way power-adjustable driver’s seat with two-way manual lumbar support lets you find the perfect driving position.

Technology

Staying connected and in touch while you make your way around St. Louis and beyond is no problem thanks to the advanced tech in the 2024 Nissan Frontier Hardbody. You’ll find an 8-inch color touchscreen in the dash with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration for seamlessly connecting your smartphone to your truck. This means you can access apps and other features on your phone through the infotainment system. Use Bluetooth to make hands-free calls and stream audio from your favorite stations and podcasts. You can also use the hands-free text messaging assistant to correspond with friends and family while you’re on the road.

The standard six-speaker AM/FM stereo lets you listen to your music so you can relax while you drive. If you want a more immersive listening experience, opt for the available Fender premium audio system that gets you 10 speakers and a subwoofer for incredible sound.

Safety Features

While the Frontier Hardbody Edition is a throwback to the days of old, you won’t have to sacrifice safety for looks. The Frontier comes with an advanced air bag system that strategically places air bags where they’re needed most. You also get the Nissan Safety Shield 360 suite of driver-assist technologies. This safety suite includes automatic emergency braking with pedestrian detection, a blind-spot warning, intelligent cruise control, and lane departure warning.
