2021 Nissan Frontier prototype spied on the road

[Ian Schmidt]

If you enjoy buying brand new 20 year old cars disguised as new cars, then go ahead.

Regular consumers don't know any of that. I mean, look at GX sales.

Good luck finding a:
GX
4Runner
Tundra
Tacoma
Sequoia
Land Cruiser (until recently)
Armada
QX80
etc. in this market right now. They're some of the most desirable, hardest to find vehicles on sale.

...Body-on-frame tech and construction just don't change as much as unibody vehicles, and there really is less need for them to be "all-new" every five years like we're used to. With that said, Nissan's and Toyota's BOF lineups are exceptionally old right now, but at least we know changes are just around the corner from Toyota.

So tempting, as TFS had a similar lease offer on the 4x4 Taco last year too

Nissan Gave the Frontier a 99% Residual Value ($171/Month Lease at MSRP) — LEASEHACKR

February Update: NMAC lowered the residual value of Frontier Crew Cab S 4x4 by one percentage point—from 99% to 98%. This will slightly increase the cost of a lease compared to January, but it’s still the highest residual value of any lease program today, and one of the cheapest trucks to lease. T

March 20, $99 taco and $199 for a tundra 3 year leases are things of the past I assume.

Solid deal for the Frontier in this market provided you can navigate the eggshells and surprises that are modern day Nissan dealers.
Bonus though, the most frontiers come with alot of active safety kit/systems on lots but halogen headlamps in 2022...smh

Side note:
I just want to know what was their driving force was when they decided NMAC/FS would rather inflate the residual rather then just pour incentives?

Are they predicting a shortage that will get worse in 18 months?

No idea why the residual was set at 99% for the S Crew Cab 4x4, but perhaps the inventory was built up. Now that I check, most dealers on the west coast are out of this particular model, but many dealers will do the deal on inbound units. Of course with Nissan dealers, the deal will suck if the cap cost is higher than MSRP.

This model seem to be popular in dealer inventory in the midwest and east coast. Nissan dealers invented ADMS like nitrofill, new car fluid charge, blinker fluid addons etc lol

I'd negotiate hard to remove all those add ons, except the blinker light fluid lol

Do you want the Limited or Double Platinum Blinker Fluid?

Must be LED grade

Nissan creates custom retro and off-road-ready Frontiers

Nissan Design America created three custom 2022 Nissan Frontier pickup trucks for the Chicago show to show what can be done with it.

I remember those wheels fondly

Toyota Racing development is hard at work developing this kit as well...Nostalgia sells and I assume every mfg is using that to lure new owners. Honda with their reimagined integra etc, nissan with the hardbody look, toyota pickup truck is not too far
