Nissan's compact-class Frontier expanded in size in 2005 with third-generation models built on an abbreviated version of the chassis underpinning full-size Titan.

For 2006 Frontier returns with two powertrain options and four trim variations -- entry XE, upgraded SE, sporty NISMO (Nissan Motorsports) and plush LE. Most of the models pull from a dual-cam 4.0-liter V6 tuned to 265 hp through a five-speed automatic transmission or six-speed manual. However, a base issue Frontier King Cab uses a twin-cam 2.5-liter in-line-four rated at 165 hp.

Two cab styles split into King Cab and Crew Cab formats and both bring options for 2WD or 4WD traction. The King Cab has flip-up rear seats, while Crew Cab carries a three-person back bench. NISMO treatment adds sporty trimwork and hardware for serious off-road work. Frontier's 2006 color chart shows new shades like Red Alert and Red Brawn.
