A midsize pickup with V6 muscle
Drive a Frontier
The Frontier pairs a 310-hp V6 with a nine-speed automatic in a midsize footprint, so you get serious pulling power without full-size bulk. A Nissan Frontier truck rental fits moving day, project hauls, and weekend getaways, and you can browse more Nissan rental options as you plan.
Turo is a car rental marketplace, so you book your Frontier from a local vehicle owner and arrange pickup and drop-off that fit your plans. Pick the cab, bed, and drivetrain your trip calls for, and you're ready to roll.

Combined mpg
21 mpg
Standard V6 power, every trim
Every 2026 Frontier runs a naturally aspirated 3.8L V6 that makes 310 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque, matched to a nine-speed automatic. No engine upgrade to hunt for — whichever 2026 trim you book, you get the same V6 under the hood.
Built to tow
A properly equipped 2026 Frontier tows up to 7,150 lbs. That top rating belongs to the King Cab S 2WD, so check your listing's cab and drivetrain before a heavy haul. Keep your trailer's weight within the rating for the exact truck you book.
Tow/Haul mode comes standard, so you can switch it on the moment a trailer's hooked up. Underneath, a fully boxed ladder frame gives the Frontier a solid backbone for pulling and carrying. Put together, you get a midsize pickup that takes on trailer duty with confidence (and still parks like a midsize).
Cab and bed choices
The Frontier comes in two cab styles, and each one shapes your trip. Crew Cab seats five, which suits family outings or a full crew heading to a job. King Cab seats up to four and keeps the cab compact for drivers who mostly need the truck for cargo.
Bed length runs about five or six feet depending on the cab, so match it to what you're hauling. You'll also choose between 4x2 and 4x4 drivetrains. The listing shows each detail, so you can land the exact setup for a furniture run or a family weekend.
Stand out with a Frontier
A Frontier gives you true truck capability in an easy-to-live-with size. Its midsize build slips into city parking spots and tight streets, yet the bed holds a weekend's gear for moves, furniture runs, and project hauling. Compare it with more pickup truck rentals on Turo to find the right fit.
Top Frontier features
Everyday efficiency
Three features set the Frontier apart: everyday efficiency, body-on-frame toughness, and American-assembled midsize sizing.
The 4x2 Frontier earns 21 mpg combined, and the 4x4 earns 19 mpg combined. That's a respectable return for a 310-hp pickup that tows up to 7,150 lbs, so you're not trading capability for constant fill-ups. You'll spend more time driving and make fewer stops at the gas station.
If your trip leans toward highway miles and city errands, a 4x2 listing stretches every tank a little further. Prefer 4x4? The trade is about two mpg combined, which is easy to plan around on a weekend trip or a longer stay.
Body-on-frame toughness
The Frontier rides on a fully boxed ladder frame with body-on-frame construction. In this traditional truck layout, the cab and bed mount to a separate frame. It's the foundation that supports the Frontier's towing rating and lets it carry heavy loads with confidence.
For you, that means a truck built for real work. Load the bed with lumber for a backyard build, tow a utility trailer to a new apartment, or pack boxes for a cross-town move. It's durability you'll notice every time you add weight to the bed or hitch.
American-assembled midsize
The Frontier rolls off a final assembly line in the US, so you're driving an American-assembled pickup. It's also a midsize truck, not a full-size one, and that distinction shapes how it fits into your trip.
A midsize footprint makes the Frontier easier to maneuver through parking garages, narrow neighborhood streets, and busy downtown blocks. You still get a 310-hp V6, a towing rating up to 7,150 lbs, and a bed of about five or six feet. That balance makes it a smart pick when you want truck utility without wrestling a full-size pickup into every parking spot.

Top tips and things to know before renting a Frontier
Get to know your Frontier
A few quick checks in the listing help you book the right Frontier for your trip. Here's what to look for before you go.
Start with the cab style and bed length in the listing. Crew Cab seats five and King Cab seats up to four, while the bed runs about five or six feet depending on the cab. If your trip involves more passengers than cargo, a Nissan Pathfinder rental gives you a three-row SUV instead.
Frontier driving tips
A little prep makes towing and hauling in a Frontier simple. Keep these tips in mind:
Switch on Tow/Haul mode whenever you're towing.
Check the listing to see whether your Frontier is 4x4 or 4x2.
Secure your cargo with straps or tie-downs before you drive.
Confirm hitch details in the listing before you plan to tow.
How much does it cost to rent a Frontier?
Local vehicle owners set their own prices, so the cost of a Frontier varies by year, location, and trip dates. Many listings offer discounts for longer trips, which helps if you need a truck for a big move or an extended project. For a stay of a month or more, browse long-term car rental options on Turo.
