2026 Nissan Frontier Towing Capacity & Payload
Built for the toughest tasks, the 2026 Nissan Frontier delivers dependable towing and payload capability across every configuration. With its strong 3.8-liter V6 engine, Tow-Haul Mode, and a fully boxed frame, the Frontier makes hauling trailers, boats, or job equipment simple and confident — whether on the highway or around Fort Worth.
Towing & Payload Capacity by Cab and Drivetrain
The 2026 Nissan Frontier delivers strong capability across its lineup, with towing and payload ratings that vary by cab configuration and drivetrain. King Cab models offer the highest tow ratings, while Crew Cab versions balance passenger space with dependable hauling strength. Two-wheel-drive (4x2) models generally provide slightly higher capacities due to reduced drivetrain weight, while 4x4 configurations add traction and stability for uneven terrain, job sites, and boat ramps.

Payload capacity reflects how much weight the Frontier can carry in its bed, including cargo and passengers. Towing capability represents the maximum trailer weight the truck can pull when properly equipped. The Frontier’s available Tow-Haul Mode optimizes transmission response to maintain steady speed and reduce gear hunting, especially when pulling heavier loads. With a wide range of configurations, the Frontier allows Fort Worth drivers to choose the exact balance of towing strength, payload flexibility, and everyday usability needed for work, weekends, and everything in between.
