Nissan NISMO off-road parts to debut at the 2020 Rebelle Rally

September 29, 2020

Nissan has announced their NISMO lineup will finally include off-road parts for their truck segment, debuting with the Nissan Frontier at the 2020 Rebelle Rally event held annually in California and Nevada. NISMO parts will include a high-performance suspension kit, an off-road bumper, off-road lighting and off-road wheels on the 2020 Frontier with hopes we will see an expanded lineup of NISMO performance parts for Nissan’s full-sized trucks further along the launch cycle.

“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 Michael Soutter, 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 Rebelle Rally 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 Sedona Blinson and Lyn Woodward 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.”
