A new infographic shows how the new Nissan Frontier matches up with The Old Frontier of the West in terms of wheels, horsepower, and more. Inspired by news that Nissan will dramatically update the Frontier for the first time in 15 years, NissanPartsPlus.com decided to compare the current (“new”) Nissan Frontier and The Old Frontier to see just how similar they are. Though centuries apart, the graphic reveals both use some of the best technology for their day.
“Can you imagine the settlers of the 1800s with the Nissan Frontier Pro-X?” asks Steve Ferreira, Parts Director at NissanPartsPlus.com. “Traveling over dirt and rocks, using the navigation system…history books would explain that journey in a much different way. We just thought it would be fun to compare this mid-sized truck to the Old West.”
Here are some highlights from the infographic:
- A Nissan truck has 261 horses under the hood, while a covered wagon had a mere 2 horses to move it along.
- The approximately 25-pound alloy wheels of today are compared to the Prairie Schooner’s wooden-spoked wheels.
- Driver and passenger can enjoy their own preferred temperature with the dual climate zone feature in the Frontier. Pioneers could keep the kids in the covered wagon, but the person steering the team needed a hat to keep the snow and sun off their brow.
“We are excited to see what Nissan develops for the 2020 truck,” Ferreira says. “It sounds like there’s going to be lots of changes. This current design will soon be the ‘old’ Frontier.”
