There may be a few reasons why your 2007 Nissan Frontier can't pick up speed, and the engine just revs.

One reason is you may have a clogged catalytic converter; if your catalytic converter is clogged then that may cause your engine to bog down and not accelerate.

Another possibility is, a bad fuel filter. A bad fuel filter will not allow enough fuel into the engine and will cause your motor to bog down after a certain speed, like the catalytic converter mentioned above.

This also may simply be a case of low transmission fluid, this is typically the most common reason your vehicle won't accelerate.

Although, to know for sure, I recommend taking your vehicle to your local mechanic and they will be able to officially diagnose your issue.
