Yes you should get one!
Awesome truck, wish I purchased thr PRO-4X instead. This is the 3rd time I've own a pickup truck and the best time. This truck is bullet proof. I've put it through the wringer. Awesome in snow and mud. Very stable and at times almost drives like a car. No problem yet in the last 5 years just regular maintenance. The answer is yes a Nissan truck is a better buy. Glad I didn't choose the other brand that starts with a T and ends with an A!

nice truck
This is my first truck and first Nissan. I sold my TSX to buy a truck so I could do more camping trips with my family. So let me just get this out of the way... I love this truck. It drives perfect. I usually drive conservatively and this truck is very nice and comfortable just cruising around. But when you need the power, this thing doesn't hesitate. The engine has a nice growl when you get on the gas. The interior is simple but works. The materials are hard plastic. Coming from the TSX and my wife's CR-V, I personally feel the switches in the Nissan are not as high quality, but they work nonetheless. (I'm probably just not used to them.) I got the Navy Blue and I can't stop looking at it.
Better than a Tacoma
I owned an '04 Tacoma Crew Cab that I was never going to get rid of. Very reliable and functional. Then I moved to the Eastern Sierras and needed 4WD. I quickly narrowed it down to a Tacoma and Frontier. Chose the Frontier because of better pricing an appearance. I''ve had it for10 months and nearly 13,000 miles. There has not been a problem. 4WD works great in the snow and I just got back from a hunting trip in Wyoming where I was off road for a couple of hundred miles. Even needed 4WD low and it went everywhere I needed to go. I'm very satisfied with the Frontier. It's my first Nissan truck (I used to own an Infiniti). I owned an 88 and 04 Toyotas and this is better than either. I've now owned my Frontier for almost 11 years and 113,000 miles. It's the best vehicle I've owned. It's bullet proof. In addition to routine oil, air and cabin filter changes, it's just got its third set of tires and its third battery. It had a broken motor mount repaired under warranty and a minor transmission linkage problem repaired. Otherwise, it's been trouble free. I just had it gone through before a several thousand mile trip planned and the trusted mechanic said it needs nothing other than the battery he replaced. I'm 6'3 and it's got plenty of legroom. I've towed a full loaded 5X8 enclosed trailer several times and it tows well. It's comfortable for long road trips. I have no plans to replace this truck unless it gets wrecked or stolen. My only criticism is that it has a lousy turning radius, gets poor mileage and the back seat is not comfortable for long drives. But since I'm the only one that drives it, that's not my problem! Just turned 122,000 miles and still running strong. Now at 125,000 and still in great shape. 12 years old and 130,000 miles. Still looks good, drives good and trouble free. 136,000 miles and still trouble free.

Overall, I'm Impressed
Like a lot of people I looked at the Frontier and Tacoma. When it came down to it, the price steered me towards the Frontier. The size is right, good power, comfort, capability, looks. I've been getting 18-19 mpg mixed driving, not bad for a capable 4x4 pickup.
