Put the Frontier Utili-track® System to Work

The 2026 Nissan Frontier Utili-track® Channel System adds channels and cleats along the bed floor and bed walls to help position and secure cargo.

For tailgating, these channels and cleats keep chairs, equipment, coolers, and other supplies from piling together in the truck bed.

Genuine Nissan tie-down cleats can be positioned along the channel system, allowing you to customize where you secure gear. That’s useful when cargo changes from week to week.

One weekend you may be hauling a grill and folding chairs, the next you could be carrying camping equipment or bicycles. The Frontier Utili-track system adapts to the job.

The extender makes better use of the truck bed when carrying longer items. Nissan offers both sliding and fixed bed extenders.
