Honda started with the same platform that rides under the Acura MDX and Honda Pilot, but 93 percent of the components have been replaced or modified. The result is something of an oddity: a unibody pickup truck with a transverse-mounted V6, front-wheel drive and a flush bed built into the cab.
V6 Only:
Output is rated at 255 horsepower at 5,750 rpm and 252 pound-feet of torque
at 4,500 rpm. A five-speed automatic transmission borrowed from the MDX was
tweaked for truck duty, and a heavy-duty transmission cooler comes standard.

The Frontier is all new for 2005. Changes include a new and more powerful V6, two new transmissions, advanced off-road systems and a larger size for better passenger comfort.
A 2.5-liter DOHC inline four-cylinder engine is standard on the base Frontier King Cab model. A 4.0-liter V6, which produces a stout 265 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque, is standard in all other models. The V6 design includes Continuous Valve Timing Control (C-VTC) and Nissan variable Induction Control System (NICS). Transmission choices include a standard six-speed manual gearbox and an optional five-speed automatic. Frontier 4x4 models include a shift-on-the-fly four-wheel-drive system with 2Hi/4Hi/4Lo modes operated by an electronically controlled, part-time transfer case.
