Like its rivals, the 2025 Nissan Frontier is getting more expensive this go-around.
These days, “value-minded” trucks will set you back at least $30,000, and the refreshed Frontier is getting a similar treatment, with 2025 models rising by $1,540 over last year’s counterparts.
The 2025 Nissan Frontier hasn’t fundamentally changed, as it’s still one of two U.S.-market midsize trucks (the other being the Honda Ridgeline) still packing a naturally aspirated V6 engine. You still get 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, though you do get a revamped exterior design, better tech and a few minor but noteworthy creature comforts. Starting prices for this year kick off at $33,560, including Nissan’s $1,510 destination charge, rising to around $47,120 for the fully loaded SL model with a 6-foot bed.
On the entry-level end, the 2025 Nissan Frontier still gets the base, rear-wheel drive S trim available in King Cab configuration. A better-equipped SV is also available as a King Cab, while both the lower end trims can be had as 4x4s or 4x2s. As you work your way up the stack, the familiar trims remain, including the off-road-focused Pro-4X and more luxurious SL. Like the Toyota Tacoma, you can now spec most Crew Cab trims with either a short 5-foot bed or the longer 6-foot option, with the longer bed making its way to the Pro-4X and SL.
For 2025, the Nissan Frontier gets a new front fascia with Pathfinder-inspired cutouts in the upper grille surround. You also get new bumpers and (finally) a telescoping steering wheel. Towing capacity increases by 500 pounds across the range, putting the Frontier’s maximum rating at 7,160 pounds when properly equipped. That’s still not quite as high as the Ford Ranger, but certainly puts the Frontier within reasonable striking distance.
Inside, 2025 Nissan Frontiers get a larger 12.3-inch infotainment display on SV and higher trims.
Afterburner Orange is a new option to the Pro-4X color palette, and there’s also a new 17-inch wheel design. Driver assistance features like lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross traffic alert and parking sensors, high-beam assist and adaptive cruise control all come standard.
The Pro-4X is one of the Frontier’s more popular trims, and its $43,280 starting price (for the short-bed version) is more expensive than the $42,095 Chevy Colorado Z71 or the $42,185 Ford Ranger XLT FX4, but ever so slightly cheaper than the Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road’s $43,295 base price.
The freshened 2025 Nissan Frontier is hitting dealerships right around now, so you don’t have to wait long if you’re shopping for one.
Here’s a closer look at base pricing across the lineup. Going for the 4×4 option adds $3,000 to $3,300 to the price tag, where it doesn’t come by default, while the 5-foot bed is an extra $500:
| Trim | 2025 Base MSRP (including destination) |
| S King Cab 4×2 | $33,560 |
| SV King Cab 4×2 | $35,900 |
| S Crew Cab 4×2 | $34,960 |
| SV Crew Cab (5-foot bed) | $37,300 |
| Pro-X Crew Cab 4×2 | $39,980 |
| SL Crew Cab 4×2 (5-foot bed) | $43,320 |
| Pro-4X Crew Cab 4×4 (5-foot bed) | $43,280 |
