For those of you who are not familiar with Japanese performance vehicles NISMO is a loose acronym for Nissan Motorsports International. NISMO is to Nissan like SVT is to Ford and AMG is to Mercedes-Benz. Anyway the Frontier NISMO shares a lot with it's base Frontier brothers. For example it is powered by the same 4.0L V6 that produced 261 horsepower and 281 foot-pounds of torque. Buyers had the choice of a 5-speed automatic transmission or a 6-speed manual, rear or four-wheel drive, and King Cab or crew cab configuration. But the NISMO had a few parts and pieces that would make owners of the standard model green with envy. Bilsten off-road shocks tuned by NISMO, skid plates, BFGoodrich Rugged Trail tires, 16-inch aluminum wheels, an electronic locking rear differential (four wheel-drive models had a limited slip differential up front as well). The truck could be ordered wtih the optional Traction Package that included stability control, hill-start assist and hill-descent systems. The Frontier NISMO was tuned to be an offroad machine. This particular example has been modded by it's owner. The graphics and the light bar on the roof are not Nissan equipment. Despite the fact that the truck is very clean it looks like it's owner knows what they have and it has hopefully been able to run some off-road trails in it's day.
