At the 2022 Chicago Auto Show, Nissan showcased three truck concepts based on the new Frontier. The Project 72X Frontier is the first concept. It's based on the Crew Cab S 4x4 model and was created as a new twist on the legendary Datsun 720 truck, which debuted in 1979.

Finished in gray exterior paint with retro-inspired designs and sporting a pair of white-painted steel wheels with the same tires as the Pro-4X versions, the 72X Frontier stands out from the competition. Nissan also included a 2.5-inch lift package with flexible front upper suspension arms with the truck. Behind the cab, you'll find a sports bar.

The Nissan D21 "Hardbody" was the inspiration for Project Hardbody, the second concept car exhibited at the Chicago Auto Show. When it was first built, it was a 2022 Frontier Crew Cab SV 4x4, but it has now been modified with a 3-inch lift kit, adjustable upper control arms, Pro-4X-style fender flares, Hardbody block-style wheels wrapped in 33-inch rubber, a spare tire carrier mounted in the bed, a sports bar with 10-inch rectangular LED lights, and a dark front end with door drawings.

Project Adventure, the final of the three, is undoubtedly the most eye-catching. It's based on the Frontier Crew Cab Pro-4X for off-roading, has a large 5-inch raise kit, and rides on 34-inch mud-terrain tires. Nissan also added a Yakima bed rack, a Yakima LoadWarrior roof basket, a sky tent, and a Kicker premium audio system to the truck. Also, a carbon fiber snorkel and a wrap with a picture of the United States have been added.
