Remember when piling into an import pickup was a “knees and elbows” maneuver? In the old days a compact pickup was just that. Today’s versions have grown considerably to their predecessors and nowhere in this more evident that with the Nissan Frontier. Last year, when Nissan gave its Frontier pickup a significant restyling, that “modern industrial” look is difficult to miss, three basic platforms were offered: Regular Cab, King Cab and Crew Cab. Okay, make it four if you count the Desert Runner, a light weight version of the King Cab.
These platforms are represented in the lineup as well, but not the same ones as before. In keeping with consumer demand for more spacious digs, Nissan has ditched the Regular Cab making the 2 door, 4 passenger King Cab the Frontier’s entry level model. Added to the lineup, however, is the new Crew Cab extended Bed.
The Crew Cab Extended Bed is the answer for those who appreciate the Crew Cab’s 4 door access and 5 passenger seating, but need a bit more hauling space than what the standard Frontier Crew Cab’s 56.3 in. bed provided. The Crew Can Long Bed’ cargo Box is 18.3-in. longer for a total length if 74.6 in. That’s just over the 6ft. mark, and the same length as the King Cab bed. To back up in the increased hauling capability, the payload capacity has been increases by 110 lb. with the GVWR bumping up another 220 lb.
