Dorsett Nissan - Why the 2025 Nissan Frontier Is a Smart Choice for Weekend Projects around Evansville, IN

You do not need a heavy-duty rig to handle serious work. The 2025 Nissan Frontier brings standard 310-horsepower V6 strength, a smooth 9-speed automatic, and practical bed innovations that make hauling smarter, not harder. For homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and outdoor lovers near the Ohio River, two features consistently rise to the top of our customer conversations: the Utili-track® Channel System and the new 12.3-inch touch-screen. Together, they make load management and trip planning simpler, faster, and more confidence-inspiring.
