Nissan has unveiled a trio of truck concepts based on the new Frontier at the 2022 Chicago Auto Show. The first concept is dubbed the Project 72X Frontier. It is based on a Crew Cab S 4×4 model and has been designed as a modern-day take on the classic Datsun 720 truck that was first introduced in the fall of 1979.
The Project 72X Frontier is finished in a
gray exterior paint contrasted with a set of retro-inspired graphics and is
rocking a set of white-painted steel wheels with the same tires as Pro-4X
models. Nissan has also equipped the truck with a 2.5-inch lift kit that
includes adjustable front upper suspension arms. There is also a sports bar
located behind the cab.
The second concept unveiled in Chicago is
known as Project Hardbody and is inspired by the Nissan D21 ‘Hardbody’. It
started out life as a 2022 Frontier Crew Cab SV 4×4 and now sports a 3-inch
lift kit, adjustable upper control arms, the same fender flares as the Pro-4X,
Hardbody block-style wheels wrapped in 33-inch rubber, a bed-mounted spare tire
carrier, a sports bar with 10-inch rectangular LED lights, and a blacked-out
front end with door graphics.
The last of the trio is arguably the most
striking and is dubbed Project Adventure. It is based on the off-road focused
Frontier Crew Cab Pro-4X, has been jacked-up with a massive 5-inch lift kit and
sits on 34-inch mud terrain tires. Nissan has also fitted the truck with a
Yakima bed rack system, a Yakima LoadWarrior roof basket, a sky tent, and a
premium audio system from Kicker. A carbon fiber snorkel has also been
installed, as has a wrap that depicts an atlas of the United States.
