Nissan Frontier 'Diesel Runner' Pickup Concept

Special exterior modifications for the Frontier "Diesel Runner" include a custom "Arrest Me Red" and Matte Silver paint treatment, aerodynamic full-bed tonneau cover and tailgate spoiler.

The 16-inch wheels, borrowed from a Frontier PRO-4X, have been treated with a special two-tone paint – Arrest Me Red for the rear wheels and silver in front, each accented by satin black paint -- with the brake calipers also custom painted in contrasting colors; silver rear and red front.

A transparent acrylic hood insert acts as a "window" to the engine bay on the Frontier "Diesel Runner" concept, with all powertrain-related elements painted in a red theme.

The engine powering the Frontier "Diesel Runner" concept truck is a prototype 2.8-liter turbo diesel developed by the Cummins Technical Center in Columbus, IN, that cranks out approximately 200 hp and over 350 lb-ft of torque.

The front and rear seats of the Fontier "Diesel Runner" concept feature carbon-print leather appointments with grey accent stitching and black-on-black "Tracks" embroidery.

The carbon film-wrapped instrument panel of the frontier "Diesel Runner" concept pickup is highlighted by red-tined gauges and a special black-faced diesel-specific three-gauge pod on top of the C-cluster.

The prototype 2.8-liter diesel powering Nissan's Frontier concept truck purportedly increases fuel economy 35% versus a V6-powered 2014 Frontier 4x2.
