Project Trailgater1
Designed to responsibly bring the fun of tailgating into the great outdoors, Project Trailgater is built in partnership with PowerNation TV’s “Music City Trucks.” It is based on a 2025 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X. Look out for the three-part series of how the truck was built on the PowerNation channel.
The build begins with NISMO Off Road accessories, including a lift kit and high-performance suspension, bed rack, cargo cases, off-road lighting, and 17-inch beadlock capable wheels. In addition, Project Trailgater adds almost everything you might need for camping and tailgating outdoors, including two 43-inch weatherproof TVs, powered coolers, grille and even the proverbial kitchen sink.

Frontier TARMAC Concept2
Embodying the spirit of sport and muscle trucks of the past, the TARMAC concept lives on in this one-off street truck, a collaboration between Nissan Motorsports, Nissan Design America and Forsberg Racing.
The TARMAC concept immediately turns heads with its new-for-2025 Afterburn Orange paint, complemented by an indulgence of carbon fiber accents throughout from the aggressive widebody kit, vented hood, roof cap, spoiler, wheels, aero and more.
The TARMAC concept receives a healthy injection of performance thanks to the addition of a Roots-style supercharger, prototype NISMO cold air intake and custom NISMO exhaust system to Frontier’s standard 3.8-liter V6 engine. The result: over 400 horsepower to the wheels.
Keeping that added performance in check is a high-performance big brake kit featuring custom 15-inch floating two-piece rotors and mounts, utilizing the powerful brake calipers from the Nissan Z NISMO. Putting all this power down to the asphalt are carbon-barreled NISMO TARMAC 20-inch wheels wrapped in Yokohama Advan tires and a prototype NISMO high-performance suspension kit with adjustable coilovers.
