2026 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X R by Roush

• The 2026 Frontier PRO‑4X R by Roush features an Öhlins‑tuned 2‑inch suspension lift with remote‑reservoir shocks, aluminum damping bodies, and cooling fins for consistent off‑road performance.

• Visual upgrades unique to the R variant include titanium‑painted grille inserts, skid plates, and lower fascia, plus 17‑inch titanium wheels with Roush badging.

• This Roush package is factory‑offered, adds $4,395 to the PRO‑4X base cost, bringing the total MSRP to $47,960, and backed by a Roush 3‑year/36,000‑mile warranty.

Engine Ground Clearance and Damping Upgrades

The off-road focus hits hard under the wheels and chassis. The Frontier PRO‑4X R introduces a Roush Performance x Öhlins suspension lift—a 2-inch raise with remote‑reservoir shocks featuring external cooling fins and 18 mm steel shafts built for durability. These aluminum‑bodied dampers allow better trail control while retaining everyday driveability. Completing the setup are custom red-painted upper control arms, improving suspension geometry and travel.

Trail-Ready Styling That Means Business

This edition doesn’t just drive tougher; it looks tougher. Roush adds titanium-finished grille inserts, front skid plate, and lower fascia that push visual ruggedness without added bulk. Every surface signals capability. The 17‑inch wheels, also finished in titanium, ride on 265/70 R17 all-terrain tires, accented by black lug nuts and an embossed “R” at the center. Exterior Roush badging appears on the grille, fenders, and tailgate, while inside the “R” motif continues on stitched front-seat headrests.

Pricing and Positioning in the Segment

Nissan and Roush now offer this as a factory‑available package, not aftermarket. The upgrade adds a flat $4,395 to the PRO‑4X base MSRP, taking the total to $47,960. This pricing positions the Frontier PRO‑4X R in a competitive niche—more off-road specific and distinctive than the base Frontier PRO‑4X, yet keeping a sensible gap from segment rivals like the Ford Ranger Raptor.
