Re: 2010 Frontier LE CC 4x4 SWB w/value pkg, mats [mmccloskey]
MJ, Hey! Thanks for the reply, appreciate the heads up on the keys and key fob. Sounds like you did well on your deal. Since the 2011 models are out, one would expect to get a better deal. Love the Nissan Frontier...nicely built, powerful and good looking too. Had my 2005 model since 2006, and had no problems, 'cept I really beat it up, lol. Enjoy the road and the off-road. ...

Nissan Frontier's stubby console armrest
If you are tired of the Frontier's front armrest and need some comfort and support and I really mean comfort, I currently manufacture an armrest that sits and attaches to the top of the existing armrest that slides forward up to six inches and slides back in place when not in use. Does not interfere with cupholders and you can still open the console lid in the forward or rear position. ... Read More

Re: Nissan 2006 frontier worst trucks ever? [suzyq2005]
Hello SuzyQ About 2 months ago I noticed that my heat would not warm up in my 2005 Nissan Frontier. I just hit 99k and I thought I had a thermostat issue however my local certified Nissan Dealer tells me different. They told me I have antifreeze in my transmission fluid. I was also told that one of the cooliant lines from the radiator probably has a crack in it and ... Read More

Fuel Gauge (Sending Unit) Recall
The problem is Nissan's fuel sending units (FSUs) in the fuel tank which causes an inaccurate gauge reading. The recall affects Frontiers, Pathfinder and Xterras produced from January to March 2006 and October 2007 to January 2008. Nissan will be sending letters to owners in late March 2010 I have read. It's clear the FSU problem affects many vehicles outside of these dates, so I'm not sure what Nissan is thinking. ... Read More

Re: recall [shuffles]
So that readers are kept straight, this is likely TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) NTB08023 which reads that Nissan has determined that on some 2005 and 2006 Frontier vehicles with 2.5 liter engine there is a possibility that the program in the Engine Control Module (ECM) may lead to the improper operation of the evaporative emission control system. To prevent this potential condition from occurring, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Recall ... Read More

Re: Nissan 2006 frontier worst trucks ever? [nickc1973]
Man, you must have got the Friday truck of all Friday trucks. I have 233,000 miles on mine with only regular maintenance (oil change, lube jobs and tune-ups) and I expect it will still be going strong in another quarter million miles. Usual load is a Caterpillar transmission, tractor tires, and many other commercial parts. Good luck with yours.

NISMO my experience
My 2006 NISMO has one repair which is TPMS sensor covered under warranty. I have a squeak which I believe is coming from bushings/mounts between the frame and bed or cab (have not really investigated it, when I get some free time I'll get under the truck and do some detective work), nothing else. Previous truck was a Toyota Tacoma which had a problem with dash rattles when new that required ... Read More

2006 Nissan Frontier scheduled maintenance question
I have a 2006 Nissan Frontier with 30K miles. The dealer recommended the scheduled maintenance of not only replacement of the engine oil but also replacing the automatic transmission fluid, deferential oil, coolant, drive belts and transfer case oil. Other than the engine oil, is it really necessary to change the rest of the items mentioned every 30K? In my opinion the dealer is really into the preventative maintenance. Of the ... Read More

Re: Is this a good deal [jfritsch]
I generally don't agree with price targets but for those of you who need them start at 5900 off for the high end (27000) plus models. Work 10-15 dealers around your locale using Nissan dealer locator last few days of the month. Be happy at 4500-5500 off. (You may need college grad rebate for 5500 but see anyway) Lower priced models may be similar. A 27000 Frontier is a 19000 vehicle ... Read More

Re: Frontier 4x2 se club. [jfritsch]
I got $1500 off my truck, I asked about the student discount and they said it was only for 2006s, which mine wasnt (its an 05).

Re: 2006 frontier oil options [nofrills]
Owners manual says that Nissan "recommends mineral oil", so be aware if that matters to you. I've used good ol' mineral oil on our previous three vehicles and they've all exceeded 200,000 Miles without engine trouble or excessive oil consumption. I change every 3,750 Miles or so. Synthetic oil is probably fine, but for me, I can't see what it offers for the extra expense.

Re: My final comparison [danielacosta]
The Frontier should feel "stronger:" Frontier w/4.0 V6: 265 HP 173 lb. ft. torque @ 4400rpm vehicle weight 3675 lbs. Dakota w/4.7 V8: 235 HP 240 lb. ft. torque @ 4000rpm vehicle weight 4261 lbs. The standard 4.7 V8 in the Dakota makes more torque and slightly more horsepower at lower rpms. While a dealer test drive will undoubtedly produce a greater sensation of acceleration and speed in the Frontier, at ... Read More

Re: 2006 Nissan Frontier KC 4x4 Gas mileage is bad [centralcal]
Does that mean the subwoofer is sitting on the floor? One of the things that appeals to me about the Frontier is the seats pop up and you have a flat floor. If I have a subwoofer there, that will not work for me and my big dogs.

Nissan just started a $1000. rebate on 2005 Frontiers to help clear out inventory since the 2006's will be arriving soon. Local dealers out here are matching it for $2000. off.
