After a very lengthy previous-generation run, the current Nissan Frontier debuted to some attention for the 2022 model year. Now there’s arguably even more attention, as the Japanese brand is reviving the Hardbody nameplate for a special package on the 2024 Frontier. The 1980s nostalgia comes at a price, however, and it’s over $40,000.
Specifically, you’ll pay $42,095 for the least expensive 2024 Nissan Frontier Hardbody. It’s only offered on the Frontier SV 4x4 trim, which starts at $36,870 for the shorter 5-foot bed. Nissan states the Hardbody Package costs $3,890, and there’s a mandatory $1,335 destination charge for Frontier trims. Add it all up, and you arrive at the aforementioned price.

The Hardbody Package is appearance-only in nature, drawing inspiration from the classic Hardbody in numerous areas. The 17-inch three-spoke wheels arguably garner the most attention, though the blackout treatment for the bumpers, mirrors, fender arches, grille, and door handles is also a throwback. Retro-themed graphics adorn the doors and tailgate, and you’ll find a neat sports bar in the bed with mud flaps and a skid plate down low.
As for other 2024 Frontier trims, prices are generally up approximately $100 to $200 from the prior year. A new Crew Cab SL trim joins the party as the flagship truck, replacing the SV with the premium package. It brings LED headlights, leather heated seats, fog lights, and power outlets to the bed, among other things. Otherwise, trims and powertrains are just as they were for 2023, starting with the entry-level King Cab S.
