PHOTO (select to view enlarged photo)

GARDENA, Calif. Dec. 17, 2004; Nissan North America, Inc. today announced pricing on the larger, more powerful 2005 Nissan Frontier mid-size pickup. The third generation Frontier, which is offered in 2WD and 4WD and in both King Cab and Crew Cab body configurations, delivers exceptional levels of power, handling and braking, towing capacity and off-road capability. The Frontier goes on sale at Nissan dealers nationwide December 17.

The 2005 Frontier will be offered in four trim levels -- XE (King Cab only), SE, LE and NISMO. Frontier features a competitive base Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $15,500 on the 4-cylinder King Cab XE 2WD. A step up to the SE model and higher trims gets the most powerful V6 engine in any truck. The Frontier King Cab SE 2WD starts at a MSRP of $18,400. The LE 2WD model begins at a MSRP of $22,200 and is the most luxurious offering, with options that include a leather-trimmed interior.

The NISMO Frontier is Frontier's off-road trim, with a starting MSRP of $22,000 for the King Cab 2WD. Drawing on Nissan's extensive motorsports and off-road racing history, the new NISMO Frontier model was developed in conjunction with engineers from NISMO, Nissan's Motorsports group. This new truck offers an extensive list of performance-oriented parts, including off-road tuned Bilstein® performance shocks, skid plates and unique 16-inch aluminum-alloy wheels with aggressive BFGoodrich Rugged Trail T/A P265/75R16 off-road tires.

Complete pricing and option packages are available on the attached sheets.

The completely rebuilt Nissan Frontier pickup has more than a passing resemblance to the recently introduced Nissan Titan full-size pickup. Along with its modern, rugged styling, the all-new Frontier shares a number of significant features with Titan, including its suspension design, innovative available factory-applied spray-in bedliner, available Utili-track bed channel tie-down system and fully boxed, all-steel frame based on Titan's F-Alpha platform.

Along with the solid foundation provided by the F-Alpha truck platform, the Frontier features a newly designed 4.0-liter DOHC V6 with more V6 power than any other pickup -- 265 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque -- and a choice of 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive with advanced off-road technology including available 4-wheel limited slip.
