2011 Nissan Frontier SV 4dr King Cab 4WD 6.1 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
After shopping around and considering everything from a hatchback diesel Golf to a small SUV/crossover, I decided on the Frontier as my primary vehicle for a mix of highway and city commuting.
In the end, as for so many others, it came down to the Frontier vs. the Tacoma.
Due to several rebates and discounts the 4x4 King Cab V6 with premium package ended up being cheaper than a 4 … cylinder regular cab bare bones (not even power windows) Tacoma would have been.
So far I love it!
Paid $22,700 out the door bottom line price for the King Cab 4x4 V6 with premium package in Night Armor with Graphite interior.
I got the right truck

2011 Nissan Frontier SV 4dr King Cab 4WD 6.1 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Bought it
brand new... now 1 year later going on 9k miles.
Great truck always gets 19 mpg.. Great engine.
4x4 works great, tows very well. I have only a couple minor complaints...
The passenger fold down seat rattles and drives me crazy.
The turning radius is Terrible.
My Armada U-turned Much better than this Frontier.
Other than that I love the truck.
It is a keeper for sure.
I've owned … a Ford Ranger and a Chevy Colorado.
This Nissan is by far the nicest truck of all them.
Great truck, but as always a few complaints

2011 Nissan Frontier SV 4dr King Cab 4WD 6.1 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
Overall I am mostly satisfied with this truck. I've driven this one for just over 8,000 miles.
I like the exterior styling except for the excessive amounts of "chrome" or bright shiny metal/plastic. I'm fine with the bumpers being shiny, but the front bumper along with the bright grille is simply to much in my opinion. Not a big deal, I'm paint the grille and that problem is solved.They … also attempted to solve this in the 2012 model with the sports package.
I'm nearly satisfied with the interior. The materials could have been a bit better, but aren't bad overall. It just seems as if the plastics scuff up pretty easily.
Lastly the automatic transmission is a bit of a gear hunter.
It does exactly what I need it to do.

2011 Nissan Frontier SV 4dr King Cab 4WD 6.1 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I purchased this truck new about a year and a half ago. I have driven it nearly 17,000 miles in that time. There are a few complaints, but mostly good comments to make. This truck does exactly what I need it to do. The engine is powerful enough to accommodate standard needs, and still gets decent, for it's class, MPG. The 4WD system and HDC all work smoothly, and the brakes certainly get … the job done. The one negative I have overall is the transmission. It's not horrible, but on long trips through mountain passes you will notice it can be a bit of a gear hunter unless you try and tame it down by taking OD off. If you do that, it is much smoother, but revs higher and it will reduce your MPG.
