Nissan Frontier Horsepower by Year
The Nissan Frontier’s horsepower ranges from 143 to 310 hp across the catalog years 1999-2022. Use the range as a broad overview of the model’s output, not as a rating for every Frontier. The figure that applies to a specific truck depends on its model year and engine, so compare the vehicle’s year and engine with the catalog entry rather than assuming the endpoints describe every configuration.
Horsepower figures can change between years and engine choices, and a single year may include more than one engine or trim. The catalog covers 24 years, but the overall range does not identify the rating for each year or configuration. If you need the exact horsepower for a particular Frontier and it is not listed, confirm it in the owner’s manual or with vehicle documentation.
