Cherry Hill Nissan - Towing Smarts and Trail Tech in the 2026 Frontier for Weekend Getaways near Marlton, NJ
Planning a weekend escape with a pair of ATVs, a compact camper, or a boat in tow? The 2026 Frontier® was engineered to make that plan feel easy, thanks to a standard 310-horsepower 3.8-liter V6, a refined 9-speed automatic, and confident chassis tuning that stays composed with a load. Beyond raw numbers, what matters most is how this truck helps you manage each step—from lining up the hitch to navigating tight campground loops—so you can focus on the fun. Below, we unpack the towing and trail technology many owners ask about before their first big trip.
Start with the foundation. Frontier’s fully boxed ladder frame delivers the stiffness you want when the road ripples or crosswinds hit, and the suspension’s calm manners help keep steering predictable with a trailer attached. For regular towing, Intelligent Cruise Control supports steady following space on highways, and the 12.3" touch-screen places key info and navigation in clear view. When it is time to load, the damped assist tailgate spares your shoulder, while the available spray-on bedliner, bed lighting, and Utili-track® Channel System with adjustable cleats rated to 200 lbs each help secure odd-shaped gear with confidence.
- Towing rating: Up to 7,150 lbs when properly equipped unlocks trailers, boats, and work rigs.
- Payload strength: Up to 1,590 lbs lets you pack tools, coolers, or camping crates without second-guessing.
- Bed utility: Available 120-volt outlet, lighting, and spray-on bedliner support jobsite and campsite duty.
- Visibility aids: Available Intelligent Around View® Monitor helps with hitch lining and maneuvering in close quarters.
Heading off pavement? PRO-4X® models bring Bilstein® off-road performance shocks, protective skid plates, rugged all-terrain tires, and an electronic locking rear differential for equal power to both rear wheels when traction fades. With Hill Start Assist and available Hill Descent Control standing by, steep, loose grades feel more manageable. And when you shift into 4LO, the available Intelligent Around View® Monitor with Off-Road Mode shows more of the trail around you, making it easier to place tires precisely and protect critical components. This is the kind of smart tech that saves time and minimizes stress, especially when you are guiding a trailer into a backcountry site.
Inside, the cabin keeps the trip smooth. Wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™ stay connected without cable clutter, while available Fender® premium audio turns highway miles into a private concert. NissanConnect® Services with Wi-Fi Hotspot supports up to seven compatible devices, and the MyNISSAN app can remotely start the engine to precondition the cabin before your crew climbs in. Zero Gravity front seats help reduce fatigue on long stretches, so you arrive fresh enough to unload and enjoy the view. For a midsize truck, these quality-of-life upgrades make a big difference.
