The fog lights and LED headlights are rectangular and run horizontally. From the side view, the Frontier has a powerful look with flared and molded fenders. Some or all trim levels have adjustable tie-down cleats, a household power outlet for the truck bed, a power-sliding rear window, a Class IV tow hitch, 17-inch wheels, a spray-in bed liner, bed lighting, skid plates, and all-terrain tires.
