The all-new 2022 Nissan Frontier was voted "Mid-Size Pickup Truck of Texas" by the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA). Winners were determined during the annual TAWA Truck Rodeo, a three-day rugged terrain evaluation held at Star Hill Ranch in Bee Cave, Texas.
The all-new 2022 Frontier builds on Nissan's six-plus decades of mid-size truck leadership with a new exterior, adventure-oriented interior, and the latest driver assistance and connectivity technologies. It is an authentic mid-size truck with a range of body, drivetrain and equipment configurations carefully selected to fit customer needs.
"Texas is Nissan truck country and the 2022 Frontier is right at home on the range, the ranches and the backroads with its 310-horsepower 3.8L V-6 and maximum 6,720-pound towing capacity," said Jared Haslam, vice president, Product and Services Planning, Nissan U.S. and Canada. "We're honored to be recognized again by the Texas Auto Writers Association."
Along with its new exterior, Frontier features an available, 9-inch color touchscreen display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard on all models. A standard 7-inch Advanced Driver Assist Display offers configurable information directly in front of the driver. Frontier also provides 4.0 liters of center console storage – almost double that of most midsize pickups, according to the manufacturer.
The 2022 Frontier is available in King Cab and Crew Cab body configurations, 4x2 and 4x4 drive and choice of S, SV PRO-4X (4x4 only), and new-for-2022 PRO-X (4x2 only).
