In the
2009 Frontier PRO-4X, you’ll ride on Bilstein offroad high-pressure
shock absorbers, with the benefit of additional skid plates on the oil pan and
transfer case. You’ll also get an electronic rear differential
locker (which PickupTrucks.com considers the hallmark of a true offroad
pickup), two- or four-wheel Active Brake Limited Slip, and unique machine-finished
16-inch aluminum-alloy offroad wheels with large BFGoodrich P265/75R16
Rugged Trail tires.
Exterior
styling cues for the PRO-4X include several body-colored elements, including
the grille, bumpers, fog lamps, outside mirrors and door handles. Inside,
you’ll
find distinctive styling cues like a leather-appointed red-stitched shifter
knob (on manual versions) and steering wheel, plus a chrome accent
ring around the white-faced gauges and trip computer. PRO-4Xs also
come with cruise control, remote keyless entry, power windows and door
locks, and dual power outside mirrors. If you select the PRO-4X King
Cab, you’ll also get a factory-applied spray-on
bedliner, bed-rail caps, Nissan’s Utili-Track Channel System and
four adjustable tie-down cleats (which are also standard on crew cab
models).
There’s
also a new PRO-4X Value Truck Package for the crew cab LE that includes
black leather-appointed front seats with red stitching, plus luxury
appointments like an eight-way power-adjustable driver’s seat,
a four-way power-adjustable passenger seat, heated front seats, dual
heated outside mirrors and a rear fold-down center armrest.
PRO-4X
models are only available with the 261-horsepower V-6 engine (281 pounds-feet
of torque), and can have a manual transmission in King Cab versions;
crew cab PRO-4Xs are automatic. All Frontiers have a 125.9-inch wheelbase,
and King Cab and crew cab models with the regular bed measure 205.5
inches long.
