Nissan Frontier D41

2022–2026 · D41 · truck

Third-generation Frontier, North-America-specific (not shared with the global Navara). 3.8L VQ38DD V6 (310hp), the same engine that debuted in the final 2020-2021 D40s. 9-speed automatic. RWD or shift-on-the-fly 4WD. King Cab and Crew Cab. Pro-4X and Pro-X trims add Bilstein shocks, electronic locking rear diff, skid plates. The chassis is an evolution of the D40 frame, not a clean sheet, which is why it launched on schedule and at a price the segment could afford.

Watch out: Too new for a fully formed long-term failure pattern, but watch the NHTSA recall history (a 2022-2023 front-axle drive-shaft issue triggered a campaign). The 9-speed automatic shares architecture with the Titan's box; reports of harsh shifts at low speeds in some early builds.
