The 2017 Nissan Frontier is offered in King Cab and Crew Cab. The King Cab can be had with the 4-cylinder engine or the V6 engine, while the Crew Cab is compatible with the V6 engine only. Despite its strength, the Frontier never forgoes fuel-efficiency, even with the powerful V6 at the helm. Furnished with the 4-cylinder, two-wheel drive, and automatic transmission, the 2017 Nissan Frontier earns an EPA-estimated 17 mpg city/23 mpg highway. Models with the V6 and two-wheel drive earn just one mile per gallon less in the city.With so many performance features at play, the 2017 Nissan Frontier offers a sense of driver control that can’t be duplicated. Most of its trims are available with four-wheel drive, a Dana 44 rear axle, and a switch-operated two-speed transfer case. Standard for the higher trims, Bilstein performance shock absorbers enhance the Nissan Frontier’s inherent off-road prowess. The independent double-wishbone front suspension system keeps it firmly planted on the road, while engine-speed-sensitive power steering allows for nimbleness at low speeds.
