Both a King Cab and a Crew Cab are available for your choice of a 4x2 or 4x4 drive train that spans 4 distinctive trims and 2 different engine and transmission choices-resulting in 26 available configurations of the 2008 Nissan Frontier. Such a flexible design and customizable powertrain ensure a Frontier that is well suited for the highway, off road excursions and light duty contracting.

The Frontier's 4 distinct trims are labeled as the base XE, the well equipped SE, the feature indulgent LE and the optimized for off-road performance version known as the Nismo. Engines include a 152 horsepower 2.5 liter four-cylinder or a 261 horsepower 4.0 liter V6. 4-cylinder models can be paired to either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission, while the V6 engine can be mated with either a 6-speed manual or a 5-speed automatic transmission. For the 2008 model year, the Frontier received some minor interior and exterior content changes that include the addition of a Technology Options Package that includes Bluetooth, a security system and an upgraded audio system that includes satellite radio and an auxiliary jack.

For those who do not need the utility of a full size pick up, the Frontier provides a compact to midsize alternative that ranks amongst the best in its class thanks to its strong disposition, intelligent and attractive interior and exterior design, and abundance of power. The entry level XE only features the most basic standard equipment which is highlighted by 15-inch steel wheels and bucket seats and cloth upholstery. The SE replaces the 15-inch wheels with 16-inch steel rims and adds air conditioning, a sliding rear window and a 4-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo system. Option packages are available specific to the 4 cylinder XE and the 6-cylinder SE that include full power accessories, a choice of 2 or 4 wheel limited slip differentials, keyless entry, a bed extender and 16 inch alloy wheels.

Both the LE and the Nismo come with most of what would be found in a fully loaded SE and adds fog lights, a bed liner, leather wrapped steering wheel and an Utili-trak bed channel system. The LE features 17-inch wheels, side step running boards and a power adjustable driver seat. The Nismo's unique standard features list includes Bilstein off road shocks, rough terrain tires; skid plates an electronic locking rear differential. A Traction Options Package is available for both the LE and the NIsmo and offers stability control, hill start assistance, hill descent control and a 4 wheel limited slip differential for the LE, which comes standard on the Nismo.
