Hill start assist.When starting on steep hills from a stop, hill start

assist will help keep you from rolling backwards. It holds brake pressure for a few seconds, allowing you time to switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator.

Hill descent control.When driving down a steep grade in 4WD, hill

descent control can help. Just flip the switch, ease your foot from the accelerator, and this system automatically maintains speed and brake pressure to help provide a controlled descent.

Electronic locking rear differential.When 4x4 mode just isn’t enough,

flip the switch to activate the electronic locking rear differential. This ultimate off-road feature delivers equal power to both rear wheels to boost traction and help keep your truck moving forward. When engaged, it works in conjunction with the 4-wheel Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS). So while the locking rear differential keeps the rear wheels powered to move you ahead, ABLS helps give you the traction you need up front to help maintain steering control.

BOXED FRAME

CONVENTIONAL C-RAIL

FULLY BOXED. FULLY CAPABLE.

Four walls are stronger than three. That’s why Frontier features a full-length, fully boxed ladder frame instead of the 3-sided, open C-shape rails found on some other trucks. The frame is built with super-high-tensile-strength steel in strategic areas for improved structural rigidity. This rugged material is stronger than conventional steel, for increased torsional stiffness that ultimately helps deliver enhanced performance, on- and off-road. And it’s the perfect foundation to build upon with our advanced technology.

Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)rapidly

pumps the brakes during hard braking to help keep your wheels from locking up, thus helping you to steer around an obstacle.

Electronic Brake force Distribution (EBD)

senses additional weight, whether it’s a full cargo bed or a full tank of gas, and sends extra force to the rear brakes.

Brake Override Technology.Standard on

every Frontier, it’s designed to help slow down your vehicle and bring it to a safe stop in an emergency. It works by overriding accelerator input and reducing engine power when the accelerator and brake pedals are applied simultaneously.

Overslung rigid leaf-spring rear suspension

Available heavy-duty Dana® rear axle

Some components have been chrome-plated or painted for display purposes only. 1 VDC, which should rema in on when driving except when free ing the vehicle from mud or sn ow, cannot prevent accidents due to abrupt steering, carelessness, or dangerous driving techniques. Always drive safely.

Standard on all models. Dana® is a registered tradema rk of Dana Corporation.

4-wheel vented disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)

Steel double-wishbone front suspension

Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC).

Also known as electronic

stability control, VDC monitors driver inputs and vehicle motion and helps compensate for oversteer or understeer to help keep you on your steered path.

Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS).To help keep your wheels from

spinning, Frontier offers ABLS. This system senses when a wheel begins to slip, then automatically brakes the slipping wheel (or wheels) and sends additional power to the wheels with the best traction.
