Nissan Frontier Tonneau Covers

Nissan Frontier tonneau cover lineup

The Nissan Frontier is Nissan's mid-size pickup. The current Frontier (2022–2026) is a brand-new platform; before that, the 2005–2021 Frontier ran the same body for 16 years — one of the longest single-generation truck runs in modern history. Truck Bed Barn stocks covers across every style for both generations.

Most-shopped covers for the Frontier include the BAKFlip MX4, the Extang Trifecta 2.0, the UnderCover Flex, and the TruXedo TruXport.

Frontier generation breaks: 1st gen (1998–2004), 2nd gen (2005–2021, the long-running body), and 3rd gen (2022–2026, all-new platform). Covers from the 2nd gen do NOT fit the 3rd gen — Nissan updated bed-rail geometry significantly on the new platform. Most popular Frontier configuration is the Crew Cab 5' bed.

Run your Frontier through the fitment tool or message us before you order. Fitment is verified before every cover ships.
