Camper shell & cover swaps

Same bed box as:

Nissan Frontier 2005–2021 (earlier/later generation)

A shell from one of these trucks with the same bed length should sit on the rails, but cab height, back-window angle, tailgate type and rail caps can still stop it from fitting. Confirm with the shell maker before you buy.

Cab height above the bed rail

Estimated ≈ 21.5″ (54.6 cm) Estimate

Likely range 19.5″ (49.5 cm) – 22.5″ (57.1 cm). Based on the 2005–2021 Frontier (about 22 in from an owner measurement). The 2022+ truck kept a similar cab structure and the same 18.1-in bed depth.

This number is an estimate worked out from measurements of similar trucks, not from Nissan's specifications. We can't guarantee it's correct, so measure your truck before buying a shell. Measured yours? Send it and we'll replace the estimate.

The 2022+ Frontier kept the 2005–2021 bed, so most older Frontier shells carry over (cab profile changed — check height at the front).

Older Frontier bed sizes (2001–2016)

From our original tables. Bed width is inside rail to inside rail; length is from the front bed wall at the floor to the end of the bed. Wheel wells take up space inside these numbers.
