Nissan took the wraps off a limited-edition package for its Frontier pickup at this month’s Chicago Auto Show.
Inspired by the moded-out Frontier in which Forsberg Racing recently won the NORRA 500 off-road desert race, owners will soon have the option to upgrade their 2022 and newer model year Frontiers with the off-road-ready accessory package.

The dealer-installed kit features an entire parts package from NISMO Off Road Parts, including new 17-inch Axis Beadlock wheels mounted on knobby Yokohama Geolandar X-AT tires (265/70/R17), rock sliders and a roof rack with integrated LED lighting.
A NISMO off-road suspension kit replaces the standard front coil spring and shocks with high-performance shocks and forged upper control arms. The lifted suspension raises the truck's overall height by 1.5 inches. A NISMO cat-back exhaust gives it a throatier growl that’s still appropriate for driving through town, professional driver Chris Forsberg says.
Though not as livery-laden as the truck he raced across the Baja desert, Forsberg Racing decals and a Forsberg Racing Limited Edition badge adorn the truck and complete the desert-racing look.
Chris Forsberg and Forsberg Racing needed the truck to withstand the rigors of a 500-mile race, and the modifications proved successful, with the team taking first place in the stock production class.
