NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Nissan Frontier, already a legendary off-roader, will compete in the longest, most demanding off-road #rally in the United States with a boost from an iconic Nissan brand - #nismo.
Nissan's storied #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.
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. Products will be available through Nissan dealers, select #nismo retailers or via NISMOparts.nissanusa.com.
“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 #michaelsoutter, 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 #rebellerally since it began in 2016. Behind the wheel of the more powerful 2020 Frontier, which features an all-new powertrain and best-in-class 310 horsepower1, Team Wild Grace co-captains #sedonablinson and #lynwoodward 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.”

About The Rebelle Rally
The #rebellerally, entering its fifth year, is the first women’s off-road navigational #rally raid in the United States. The #event has a unique challenge and scoring system where precise navigation, not speed, is the ultimate goal. Participants trade in cell phones and GPS for old-school navigation in a competition for the elements of time, distance, headings, and hidden checkpoints. Armed with just maps, compasses, and roadbooks, teams of two will be pushed to their limits as they make their way across 2,000+ kilometers of Nevada and California’s iconic terrain. Starting October 8 in Lake Tahoe and finishing October 17 along the famed Glamis Dunes, the competition is the longest competitive off-road #rally in the nation.
