MakerSource: 2015 Nissan Frontier Press Kit (pricing and specifications)

A dash means the maker’s documents we have don’t give that number for that configuration, and a column with no number for any configuration of the year isn’t shown. “Door label” means the maker prints it only on each vehicle’s certification label, and “not published” that the maker doesn’t print it, or points elsewhere. “Up to” is a ceiling the maker prints over several configurations; a range is the maker’s own, printed across the grades of that configuration.

02 / What changed

New for 2015

The 2015 Frontier against the 2014, the previous model year we hold. Only what Nissan’s documents show: nothing here is inferred.

No retail configuration added or dropped: the 28 sold in the 2014 are all here.
Payload: 913–1,471 lb (2014: 913–1,524 lb).
Curb weight: 3,708–4,711 lb (2014: 3,708–4,725 lb).
Same range as the 2014: towing, ground clearance and length.
Payload differs on 28 of 28 configurations sold in both years: −155 to +57 lb.
Curb weight differs on 21 of 28 configurations sold in both years: −57 to +98 lb.

The 2015 documents

2 documents behind the 2015 Frontier’s figures. The maker’s own come first; a third-party page fills in only a number the maker doesn’t publish, and wears its own mark.

Documents last checked Oct 9, 2026. How we read them and what the marks mean: how we source the numbers. A figure doesn’t match its document? Report a wrong number.

These are Nissan’s published figures for the models it describes, not a weighbridge or a tape measure; your own vehicle’s options change them. Found a figure that doesn’t match the document? Tell us.
