Nissan's Nismo Performance brand will debut a new line of off-road parts, including a high-performance suspension kit, an off-road bumper, off-road lighting and off-road wheels on the 2020 Frontier at the 2020 Rebelle Rally, which begins Oct 8 in Lake Tahoe and culminates Oct 17 in California's Imperial Sand Dunes.
Nissan’s Team Wild Grace, comprised of co-captains Sedona Blinson (left) and Lyn Woodward (right), has high hopes for a strong finish at this year’s Rebelle Rally behind the wheel of a 2020 Frontier loaded with a new line of NISMO off-road parts.
Nismo off-road parts will be available for the 2005-2020 model year Frontier, 2016-2021 model year TITAN and 2005-2015 model year Xterra later this fall, and will also be offered on the forthcoming, next-generation Frontier.
“We are fired up to watch Team Wild Grace show current and future Nissan Frontier owners what this beast can do on some of the most extreme terrain in the country,” said Michael Soutter, vice president, Nissan Aftersales U.S.
“These new Nismo off-road parts, created by people who deeply understand trucks and the desire for ultimate off-road performance, will elevate Frontier to a new level of capability.”
Nissan is the only automaker to sponsor a team every year in the women's-only Rebelle Rally since it began in 2016.
Behind the wheel of the more powerful 2020 Frontier, which features an all-new powertrain and best-in-class 310hp, Team Wild Grace co-captains Sedona Blinson and Lyn Woodward have high expectations following last year's team-best sixth place finish.
“We’ve taken the 2020 Frontier on a couple of trial runs, and it’s been an absolute rock star,” said Woodward. “I’m very excited about the extra power in the V6 – it’s a solid truck, and that’s what you need to compete out here.
“Our first goal is to always compete hard, but I don’t see any reason why Sedona and I can’t win it all this year.”
The Nissan Nismo off-road Performance Suspension was developed in partnership with Bilstein and can provide up to a 2-inch lift over stock ride height.
