2026 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X R Off-Road Capability



The 2026 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X R by Roush Performance delivers a substantial upgrade in off-road capability. Building on the PRO-4X foundation, the Roush package enhances suspension travel, improves ground clearance, and adds hardware engineered for rugged Texas terrain. This guide outlines confirmed capability features including ground clearance, angles, tires, lift components, and functional trail hardware.


Roush Suspension and Lift Components

The PRO-4X R introduces a precision-engineered suspension system co-developed with Öhlins to improve control, suspension articulation, and stability across difficult terrain. The lift and hardware upgrades create a more capable trail platform without compromising daily drivability.


  • Roush Performance x Öhlins 2 inch Suspension Lift: Increases ground clearance and improves suspension travel for uneven terrain.
  • Öhlins 2.0 Remote-Reservoir Shocks: Reduces heat fade, allowing consistent damping over long trail sections.
  • Roush Upper Control Arms: Improves geometry and articulation for crawling and technical driving.
  • Enhanced Suspension Valving: Balances low-speed control with compliant everyday road comfort.

Ground Clearance and Off-Road Angles


Specific 2026 Roush-modified measurements are not published independently of the PRO-4X, but the two inch lift improves the usable geometry on the trail. Based on PRO-4X reference geometry with additional lift applied, drivers can expect meaningful gains in clearance and approach performance.


  • Lift Height: Two inches over the standard PRO-4X suspension.
  • Ground Clearance: Increased from PRO-4X baseline; final published number pending Nissan release.
  • Approach Geometry: Improved due to titanium skid plate and raised suspension.
  • Underbody Protection: Titanium skid plate shields critical components during impact or debris contact.

Tire and Wheel Package

The off-road wheel and tire configuration plays a major role in the PRO-4X R capability profile. The upgraded 17 inch wheels and all-terrain tires provide grip, puncture resistance, and improved trail confidence.


  • 265/70R17 Hankook Dynapro AT2 Xtreme Tires: Increased traction on dirt, gravel, sand, and mixed trail surfaces.
  • 17 inch Titanium Finish Wheels: Rugged appearance with improved durability and reduced unsprung weight.
  • Black Wheel Hardware: Durable corrosion-resistant finish with a cohesive off-road look.

Off-Road Protection Hardware


The PRO-4X R includes upgraded exterior components designed to protect the truck’s front end, improve approach clearance, and withstand repeated contact with rocks, ruts, and trail obstacles.


  • Titanium Off-Road Skid Plate: Protects vulnerable underbody components from impact.
  • Titanium Lower Front Fascia: Improves approach geometry and durability.
  • Titanium Grille Inserts: Enhanced airflow openings with added structural protection and a rugged appearance.
  • Roush Red Control Arms: Adds visual distinction and structural reinforcement.

Trail Performance for Texas Terrain

The PRO-4X R suspension, tires, and skid protection provide advantages for drivers navigating areas around Fort Worth, including rocky trail sections, loose sand, mud, and elevation changes. The increased lift and remote reservoir shocks help maintain stability and control across long washouts or uneven backroads commonly found in North Texas and surrounding regions.


Is the PRO-4X R the Right Off-Road Configuration?



Drivers who prioritize rugged trail performance, improved suspension articulation, and premium hardware will find the PRO-4X R an ideal upgrade over the standard PRO-4X. Its combination of lift, Öhlins components, and titanium protection makes it one of the most capable midsize off-road configurations available from a factory backed collaboration.
