2023 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X â" Key Specs & Features
ð" General Overview
Trim: PRO-4X (off-road focused)
Drive Type: Standard 4Ã4 four-wheel drive
Seating: 5 passengers
Bed Length: ~59.5 in (short bed)
ð"§ Engine & Performance
Engine: 3.8 L V6 gasoline
Horsepower: 310 hp
Torque: 281 lb-ft
Transmission: 9-speed automatic
These are the same core powertrain specs across most 2023 Frontier trims, giving the PRO-4X good power for both daily driving and light towing.
ð" Capability
ð» Towing & Payload
Towing Capacity: ~6,270 lbs (Crew Cab 4Ã4)
Payload Capacity: ~1,230 lbs
These figures show that the PRO-4X can handle a significant load for camping gear, trailers, or other recreational equipment â" though payload and towing are somewhat lower than base trims geared more for hauling.
ð Off-Road-Oriented Features
The PRO-4X adds several components focused on trail and off-road capability:
Electronic locking rear differential
Bilstein off-road performance shocks
All-terrain tires
Skid plates (front and sometimes underbody)
Hill descent control
These make it more capable off pavement compared with the base S or SV trims.
â½ Fuel Economy (EPA Estimates)
City / Highway / Combined: ~18 / 23 / ~20 MPG (4Ã4)
Fuel economy is typical for V6-powered midsize trucks; expect slightly lower real-world mileage when towing.
ð'° Price (MSRP Approximate at Launch)
Starting MSRP: Around $38,720â"$39,100 new when it was new for 2023
Used prices vary widely based on condition and mileage, but most 2023 PRO-4X examples are priced in the mid-$30k range or higher depending on options and local market.
𧰠Standard & Optional Equipment (Typical)
Standard equipment on PRO-4X typically includes:
4Ã4 part-time drivetrain with low range
17" alloy wheels with all-terrain tires
LED fog lights
Underbody skid protection
Advanced safety tech available in packages
Infotainment with Apple CarPlay/Android Auto (varies by package)
Additional optional packages (not included in base price) often add tech, comfort, convenience, or off-road goodies.
ð Strengths & Considerations
Pros
Strong V6 power with respectable towing for the class.
Designed for off-road use with hardware like locking differential and Bilstein shocks.
Better off-road capability than many base mid-size trucks.
Cons
Payload (â1,230 lbs) is somewhat lower than some competitors or other Frontier trims.
Fuel economy is average for a V6 4Ã4.
Interior and tech may feel less modern than some rivals at similar prices.
ð Summary
The 2023 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X is a capable midsize pickup that blends rugged off-road hardware with everyday utility. Itâs well-suited for buyers who want more trail capability but still need a truck that can tow a trailer or haul gear. Its 4Ã4 system, locking rear differential, and off-road suspension help make it stand out in the Frontier lineup.

Wow
By Navy Vet on Monday, June 26, 2023
All I can say is go check one out for yourself. 9 speed trans, 310 hp. Love this truck. Best truck out there. Real frame too. Made in Canton Mississippi with 86 percent American parts. Beats US automakers hands down. - 5.0
Best bang for the buck
By Jordan on Friday, July 26, 2024
These trucks are the best midsize trucks for the value. Truly a great truck with a strong powertrain. The tech could use some updating but 2023 and newer models all have wireless CarPlay/android auto and thats what most people use anyways. The two cons I have about the truck is that the reverse (and 360 cameras) is painlessly bad and the steering wheel needs to be telescoping and not just tilting. Minus the two negatives everything else is good so far! Nissans have a very reliable truck in their hands. - 5.0
This Truck Rocks
By JJ on Thursday, October 21, 2021
Quiet for a truck and fairly smooth for an off road version. Comfortable front and back with plenty of getup. Well appointed and good electrics. Solidly made. So far so good. Quieter and more comfy than the ranger and Tacoma, smoother and quieter than the Tacoma too. I have nothing bad to say about it. A few things that I would like different but that’s always the case.
