The all-new 2005 Frontier bears a striking resemblance to the Titan. Along with styling cues from the Titan the Frontier also shares suspension design, an all-steel frame, Utili-Track bed tie down system, and a spray-in bedliner. The Frontier is now available in four trims: XE, SE, Nismo, and LE. All SE, Nismo, and LE trims are available in King Cab or Crew Cab with 2WD or 4WD configurations. The XE trim is only available in 2WD King Cab with a 154 hp four cylinder engine. All other models receive a new 4.0L V6 that produces 265 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque. The V6 engines are mated to a six-speed manual or an optional five-speed automatic transmission. A new optional traction system incorporates 4-wheel limited slip with Hill Descent Control and Hill Start Assist.
