Nissan's mid-size pickup, sold in Canada for 2027 as a PRO-4X Crew Cab 4x4 with a 310 hp V6 and a nine-speed automatic, with pricing from $56,998 MSRP, according to Nissan Canada. A research reference built around the questions Frontier shoppers ask, not a marketplace listing.
The Frontier is Nissan's body-on-frame mid-size pickup. For 2027, Nissan Canada offers it as a Crew Cab 4x4 in two off-road grades: the PRO-4X with a 5-ft bed at $56,998, and the PRO-4X Luxury at $59,998 with a 5-ft bed or $60,598 with a 6-ft bed. Every 2027 Frontier uses a 3.8L V6 with 310 hp and 281 lb-ft, a nine-speed automatic, part-time 4WD with low range and an electronic locking rear differential, and tows up to 6,680 lb (3,030 kg). The new Alpine Metallic colour is the one change Nissan Canada lists for 2027, and the trucks arrive at Canadian dealers this fall. Figures come from Nissan Canada; measurements published in inches, cubic feet and pounds are converted to metric.

Drawn from 134 Frontier comments posted since 2023 on the MotorMouth YouTube channel. Question themes sit apart from verified vehicle facts and help prepare a more useful test drive.
Price and value come up in 29 comments. Nissan Canada lists the 2027 Frontier PRO-4X Crew Cab 4x4 at $56,998, the PRO-4X Luxury at $59,998 and the PRO-4X Luxury with the 6-ft bed at $60,598, before $2,050 freight and PDI, a $100 A/C charge and dealer fees. One viewer summed it up: "Beautiful truck, fair price."
Ask for the all-in price with freight and fees, and compare the PRO-4X and PRO-4X Luxury equipment lists side by side.
Engine and power is the biggest theme, in 33 comments, and the transmission comes up in 8. Every 2027 Frontier uses a naturally aspirated 3.8L V6 with 310 hp and 281 lb-ft, a nine-speed automatic, and runs on regular unleaded, according to Nissan Canada. One viewer wrote: "I went with the Nissan Frontier because I wanted naturally aspirated."
Drive it on a highway on-ramp, and if you can, with some weight in the bed.
Space comes up in 5 comments. For 2027, every Canadian Frontier is a Crew Cab 4x4. The 5-ft bed measures 1,511 mm (59.5 in) at the floor with 1,136 L (40.1 cu ft) of bed volume, and the 6-ft bed, offered on the PRO-4X Luxury only, measures 1,862 mm (73.3 in) with 1,404 L (49.6 cu ft). A spray-in bedliner, the Utili-track system and a locking tailgate are standard, according to Nissan Canada.
Bring a tape measure and the gear you haul most, and check whether the 6-ft bed fits your garage or driveway.
Towing comes up in 4 comments. Nissan Canada lists maximum towing of 6,680 lb (3,030 kg) and payload of 1,200 lb (544 kg) for the 5-ft bed trucks, and 6,380 lb (2,894 kg) of towing and 1,100 lb (499 kg) of payload for the PRO-4X Luxury with the 6-ft bed.
Ask the dealer for the towing and payload rating of the exact truck you are buying, and check the hitch and wiring before you hook up.
Winter driving and 4WD come up in 7 comments. Every 2027 Frontier has part-time 4WD with a low range, an electronic locking rear differential, Hill Descent Control, Bilstein off-road shocks and 265/70R17 all-terrain tires, according to Nissan Canada. Short-bed trucks have 241 mm (9.5 in) of ground clearance at the front differential, and the PRO-4X Luxury adds full skid plates.
Ask the salesperson to show you how to shift into 4-Low and use the Off-Road Mode camera, and ask about winter tire packages.
Interior and tech come up in 10 comments. Both grades have a 12.3-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, an Intelligent Around View Monitor with Off-Road Mode, a sunroof and a heated steering wheel. The PRO-4X Luxury adds leather-appointed seats, Fender premium audio with 10 speakers, Door-to-Door Navigation and full skid plates, according to Nissan Canada. A happy owner wrote: "I just bought a 2023 and I love it, trying to figure out all the different bells and whistles."
Sit in both grades, and decide whether you need the long bed, since it comes only with the PRO-4X Luxury.
Styling comes up in 18 comments. The PRO-4X has Lava Red wheel centre caps and front tow hooks, over-fenders and 17-inch alloy wheels, and the only change Nissan Canada lists for 2027 is the new Alpine Metallic colour. One owner wrote: "I now own a 2022 Nissan Frontier SV 4x4, and for me it's amazing!"
See the truck in daylight in the colour you want, including the new Alpine Metallic if your dealer has one.

The PRO-4X has an 8-way power driver's seat and heated front seats, and both grades have remote engine start and a 120-volt outlet. A PRO-4X owner wrote: "My 2022 Frontier Pro4x has the best seats I've ever been in."
