Why the Nissan Frontier Is a Great Truck for Tailgating

Whether you’re heading to an Arizona Cardinals game or meeting friends for an Arizona State tailgate, the Nissan Frontier is your tailgating companion. Here at Avondale Nissan, we are proud to share that USA Today Sports readers named the Nissan Frontier PRO-4X the number one Best Truck for Tailgating in its 2026 Readers’ Choice Awards. Here is why it is such a great partner for the big game.

Bring the Party to the Parking Lot

Load the truck bed with a canopy, folding chairs, coolers, and cornhole boards, and you’ll have plenty of gear for game day. The Nissan Frontier is available with a six-foot bed, providing extra cargo space when you’re bringing the whole tailgating setup. Available 120-volt AC power outlets provide a convenient power source for compatible accessories, while available LED under-rail bed lighting can help when you’re packing up after an evening game. An available Fender® premium audio system with 10 speakers can provide the soundtrack before kickoff.

Built for Weekends

The 2026 Nissan Frontier is much more than a tailgating companion. With up to 7,150 pounds of available towing capacity when properly equipped, the truck can tow recreational equipment for weekends away from the Avondale area. If you’re looking for even more off-road capacity, consider the PRO-4X version of the Nissan Frontier. It boasts upgrades such as Bilstein off-road performance shocks, all-terrain tires, skid plates, and an electronic locking rear differential. For the 2027 model, Nissan added a Sport Edition package for the SV with all-terrain tires, additional skid plate protection, and PRO-4X-inspired styling.
