2022 Nissan Frontier: PRO-4X package explained

Do you really need to reach for the top trim? The Pro-4X offers strengths, but may be more than many drivers need

The 2022 Nissan Frontier taps into more than six decades of experience bringing compact and mid-size trucks to Canadian customers. For its latest generation, new exterior styling and interior tech combine with a far-reaching array of improvements and tweaks designed to improve noise levels, ride quality, steering, handling, and response. The standard 310-horsepower V6 engine and 9-speed automatic deliver competitive mileage and power, and towing capacity is rated at up to 6,490 lbs.

Add in Nissan’s ‘zero-gravity’ seats designed to enhance comfort on long drives, up-sized interior storage provisions, and sound-deadening improvements like acoustic laminated glass and redesigned carpeting application, and 2022 brings the Frontier’s best-yet driving experience to market.

But what is the Pro-4X package? What does it cost? What’s included, and what are the main benefits as experienced from the driver’s seat? We’re breaking that down below. 

An electronic locking rear differential is a handy feature that’s popular with off-road enthusiasts, and if you’ll drive your Frontier in heavy winter conditions, you’ll find it adds further peace of mind — especially when used with proper winter tires.

To sum up, the key benefits of the Frontier’s Pro-4X package include the locking rear end for more traction, underbody skid plating for added protection, and a trick suspension that ensures the ride is easy on its occupants and driver — even when they’re not being easy on it.
