Used 2014 Nissan Frontier SL 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews

This is a Powerful, Reliable Truck

This is the second Frontier I have owned. I have owned the Tacoma as well. They are both reliable and relatively powerful. The Frontier is more powerful than the Tacoma, at the cost of fuel efficiency. Value wise, the Frontier has an advantage for me. The difference in my experience is approximately 20% - a Tacoma equal to the Frontier in features will cost 20% more. If you choose the Frontier, you sacrifice 1-2 mpg, comfort in the rear seat, ground clearance, and a modern looking interior. I bought the SL model with leather seats, a moon roof, automatic headlights, upgraded sound, and navigation. BTW....the Rockford Fosgate sound system in the Nissan is the best I have owned. The sound is so good at loud volume. Regarding the ground clearance, I spent $1000 on a Bilstein suspension system to level lift the truck. It looks great - the stance is much more appealing and the ride is better. The truck now has a stance like the Tacoma. Off road, it performs very well, although I have not been challenged by conditions that would require skid plates. Those can be added, though, if I ever find time to do serious off roading.
