Definitely has presence. When I first saw the top-left picture, my immediate thought was "why is someone posting Titan pictures in this thread?" It looks very muscular. Very nice redesign from what I can see so far, although the roof rack still looks a little weird on a pickup. But that's not new.
Generally, I like both the exterior and interior, except for perhaps a slightly too-large grille. Nice features inside, IMO. Well-integrated video-screen in the dash instead of the common tacked-on-look. Nicely-done pattern for the buttons/controls. A nice fore/aft shift-lever instead of the E-crap. And back to white lighting for the gauge-panel....I never did like that red-orange dash lighting that Nissan used for years. Good job, Nissan.
This is a very close idea and was a proposal some 2 years ago. Someone leaked it.

New V6 was ready for April 2020 Job 1, because old truck was actually supposed to end production in October 2019, but was resumed 6 months later with a new engine installed, since new body required more time. Pandemic has made it even worse.

With those wheels/tires and ultra-high-stance, looks like it might be Nissan's answer to the Raptors and TRX.

the frontier did beat the TRX in one of the claims: top speed!

Meanwhile, eagle-eyed readers may have noticed that, in our recent test of a 2020 Nissan Frontier, which has a new, 3.8-liter V-6 making a wimpy—by TRX standards—310 horsepower, the ancient mid-size pickup hit its speed limiter at 120 mph. It topped the 702-hp monster-truck Ram TRX by just 2 mph, but a win is a win.
