WATCH: Hello There, Are You The 2021 Nissan Frontier?

At long last, there's a brand new Nissan Frontier on the way, set to replace a mid-size pickup well overdue for retirement. We've seen the first stage of this switch already, in the form of the 2020 Frontier's new 310-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 and nine-speed automatic transmission - a powertrain combo that's expected to carry over unchanged into the new generation.

Now, we might have just gotten a good look at the new truck's dramatically restyled front end, courtesy of a leaked 2021 Nissan Frontier rendering shared by Nissan Nation Productions, although there's some question as to how production-representative the image actually is.

Let's assume it's accurate. That will look horrible as the skinny-tired base model.

Better question: What's under it?

For a long time, Nissan was going to reskin the ancient, sub-standard Frontier then they were going to reskin the Navara. Then they didn't know and the Navara is now going into its SEVENTH year in current form.

But Nissan lost the pickup market LONG ago and giving up would be the honorable thing to do.

The Big 3 own the truck market and I don't understand why others try to crack it.

They try to crack it because of the money that pickups represent is the obvious answer, but go a step further. The Datsun pickups and the Nissan Hardbody demonstrated that Nissan was a significant player in the pickup market and then THEY stopped trying. This really isn't about Nissan trying to crack the market, but rather Nissan's fall from being a Toyota equal to a Yugo competitor.
