No need to choose between sports fandom and outdoor exploration: the Nissan Project Trailgater combines the ultimate tailgating experience with the off-road prowess of the refreshed 2025 Frontier. This one-of-a-kind project will debut at the 2024 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, alongside four other exciting Nissan concept vehicles.
A Unique Collaboration
Built in collaboration with PowerNation TV’s “Music City Trucks,” the Project Trailgater is designed for those who want to catch the game while embracing the great outdoors. The build process will be showcased in three episodes of the show, with Eric Smart, co-host of Music City Trucks, highlighting the vehicle’s fusion of tailgating tradition with Nissan’s off-road legacy.
Touchdowns in the Wilderness
The Nissan Frontier was crafted to empower drivers to pursue their passions, and the Project Trailgater is no exception. Tailor-made for sports enthusiasts, this concept vehicle features twin 43-inch TVs and a powerful soundbar mounted to a NISMO Off Road overlanding rack in the truck bed. Powered by a custom lithium battery pack and supported by a folding solar panel, the system is equipped with a Starlink connection to stream games from nearly any remote location with satellite or mobile hotspot access.
Tailgating Essentials
No tailgate is complete without great food, and the Project Trailgater is fully prepared. It includes an integrated Dometic cooler and refrigerator, a fold-out kitchen station and sink, and a propane grill that conveniently folds out from a CargoGlide slide-out on a custom hinge. For added fun, there’s even a built-in fire pit for the ultimate outdoor experience.
Off-Road Capability
The Project Trailgater builds on the off-road strength of the 2025 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X, featuring several NISMO Off Road accessories such as a suspension lift kit, forged upper control arms, high-performance shocks, and 17-inch beadlock capable wheels with Yokohama GEOLANDAR M/T tires. Additional features like a performance cat-back exhaust, roof rack, and extra lights ensure this concept vehicle is just as capable in the wilderness as it is in the parking lot.
A Bold Foundation
The 2025 Frontier PRO-4X, the base for the Trailgater, offers a refreshed design for the model year. This includes a new front fascia, enhanced utility with a long-wheelbase 6-foot bed, and upgraded technology such as a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system. The truck’s rugged capability is further improved with Bilstein off-road suspension, a locking rear differential, and a bold new appearance, complete with Lava Red tow hooks.
With the Nissan Project Trailgater, sports fans and outdoor enthusiasts can have the best of both worlds—off-road adventures and tailgating excitement, all in one impressive package.
