If you’re looking for the perfect pickup, the 2022 Frontier has everything you need. With comfort, style, and performance features to maximize towing, this pickup makes for the ideal daily driver and part-time worker alike. Check out this overview from the team at Nissan of Streetsboro for a breakdown of the 2022 Nissan Frontier towing capabilities.
2022 Nissan Frontier Towing Capabilities
The 2022 Nissan Frontier comes with a ton of standard and optional equipment, and each of its trim levels gives drivers a selection of features for any driving need—including towing capabilities. If you’re looking for maximum towing performance, here is what the Frontier trims can deliver:
Frontier King Cab
The Frontier King Cab comes in two configurations, but both the S and SV come standard with Nissan’s 3.8-liter Direct Injection Gasoline (DIG) Direct Overhead Cam (DOHC) 24-valve V-6 engine. This platform pairs with a nine-speed automatic transmission and can generate up to 310 horsepower and 281 pound-feet of torque. With its heavy-duty, body-on-frame construction and available power, the King Cab two-wheel-drive configuration has a maximum towing capacity of 6,720 pounds.
If you’re looking for off-road capabilities, the King Cab also features a four-wheel-drive option, but you’ll sacrifice some towing capability. However, you still have a maximum capacity of 6,470 pounds in the four-wheel-drive version, making this small pickup a top competitor in its class.
Frontier Crew Cab
The Frontier’s Crew Cab configurations include the S and SV models, and Nissan doesn’t skimp with the truck’s lower trims. Both equip the 3.8-liter DIG DOHC V-6 engine and nine-speed automatic powertrain. They feature the same heavy-duty body and frame durability as the King Cab, with the Crew Cab S giving you a maximum tow rating of 6,570 pounds when equipping the two-wheel-drive drivetrain.
You can also upgrade the Crew Cab S to the four-wheel-drive system if you don’t mind the small dip in the maximum towing capacity. Even then, you can still tow up to 6,370 pounds, which isn’t much of a drop from the two-wheel-drive platform. The Crew Cab SV also packs substantial towing power, with the two-wheel drive’s maximum capacity of 6,530 pounds and the four-wheel drive’s 6,330 pounds.
Frontier Crew Cab Pro-X and Pro-4X
The Frontier Crew Cab Pro-X adds some exclusive equipment but still comes with the same standard engine. This configuration comes only in two-wheel drive, making the most of its 6,470-pound maximum towing capacity. Upgrade to the Crew Cab Pro-4X and you’ll get standard four-wheel drive, high-performance off-road equipment, and exclusive driver technology.
With the four-wheel-drive system, the Frontier Pro-4X can tow up to 6,270 pounds. At Nissan of Streetsboro, you’ll find a large selection of both pre-owned and new Frontier trims to test drive. Our experienced team will stand by to answer questions you have about the additional performance features this pickup offers.
Frontier Crew Cab Long Bed SV
The Crew Cab Long Bed SV comes standard in two-wheel drive and equips the same 3.8-liter V-6 engine. You also have the option to upgrade this trim to Nissan’s four-wheel-drive drivetrain, which equips a two-speed transfer case and heavy-duty off-road equipment. You’ll get more towing capacity with the two-wheel-drive for a maximum rating of 6,460 pounds. The four-wheel-drive configuration still gives you substantial towing power, though, with a maximum capacity of 6,260 pounds.
2022 Nissan Frontier Payload Capabilities
The Frontier also has the power you need to haul most types of light cargo. Check out the payload capacities for each trim for a better idea of what each configuration offers:
- Frontier King Cab: The King Cab S two-wheel-drive configuration has a maximum payload capacity of 1,600 pounds, with the SV bumping it up to 1,610 pounds. Opt for the four-wheel-drive King Cab S and the payload drops slightly to 1,410 pounds, with the SV four-wheel drive capable of hauling up to 1,440 pounds.
- Frontier Crew Cab: The Frontier Crew Cab S and SV configurations also give you adequate hauling capabilities, with the two-wheel-drive models capable of hauling up to 1,460 pounds and 1,480 pounds, respectively. Equipping four-wheel drive gives you maximum payload ratings of 1,260 pounds on the S and up to 1,290 pounds on the SV.
- Frontier Crew Cab Long Bed SV: The Crew Cab Long Bed SV efficiently uses its bed space and maximum payload capacity of 1,360 pounds when you choose the standard two-wheel-drive configuration. Upgrade to four-wheel drive and you can expect a maximum payload capacity of 1,160 pounds.
- Frontier Crew Cab Pro-X and Pro-4X: Â The Crew Cab Pro-X’s two-wheel drive has a maximum payload capacity of 1,430 pounds. The Pro-4X trim ups the game with its four-wheel-drive capabilities in exchange for a maximum payload rating of 1,230 pounds.
Upgrade Your 2022 Frontier With Optional Convenience Packages
The 2022 Frontier also comes with several optional packages that offer additional features to maximize the car’s towing and hauling convenience. If you’re looking to upgrade the King Cab or Crew Cab SV trims, you can opt for the SV Convenience Package, while the Pro-X and Pro-4X trims feature their own specialized versions. Here is some additional equipment each package gives you:
- Nissan’s Class IV hitch receiver with seven-pin wiring harness.
- Utili-track Channel System with adjustable tie-downs.
- Factory-applied spray-on bed liner
- A bed-mounted power outlet with 120 volts.
- Under-rail LED bed lighting.
