The 2026 Nissan Frontier is celebrating America's 250th birthday with a free patriotic badge, available on the top-of-the-line Pro-4X trim level. Not only is Nissan honoring our country's 250th birthday, but it has also now built 1 million Frontiers at its factory in Canton, Mississippi. Nissan has been building compact pickup trucks in the United States since 1983, just seven years after this country turned 200 years old.
The patriotic design incorporates elements of the American flag into the debossed "Frontier" lettering on the truck's rear end. The Stars and Stripes badge trades the usual red, white, and blue for a monochromatic appearance. While Nissan isn't charging anything for the special treatment, it will only be available on the top-of-the-line Pro-4X trim level that starts at $43,615. The trucks will be built throughout July, but production is capped at 2500 copies.

Coincidentally, 2026 also marks another American-specific milestone for Nissan, which this year celebrated building 1 million Frontiers at its factory in Canton, Mississippi. The automaker says it has sold over 2 million copies of the U.S.-built mid-size truck since 1998.
