I bought my 2009 Nissan Frontier XE King Cab RWD 4-cyl, 5-speed manual as an as-is used vehicle in May, 2020 to replace my old Tacoma that was totaled out in an accident. I wanted a basic cheap work truck and my previous vehicle the 1999 Tacoma served me quite well. I couldn't find a Toyota at a reasonable price so I went with this Nissan that had 165K miles on it. By October 2020 the truck had 173K miles and the check engine light came on and it started running rough. I read the trouble code "P0303" #3 cylinder misfire so I ordered a new set of Hitachi ignition coils, NGK platinum spark (both OEM spec) and a set of Beck-Arnley intake manifold gaskets. Intake gaskets were needed because the intake manifold must be removed first to access the coils and plugs - what a poor design. After going through that repair which fixed that issue when I reconnected the battery I now have no low beam head lights. After checking the bulbs, relay, and fuses all ok I took it to the dealer for diag. The body control module BCM is not sending a signal to the relay box for low beam head lights. The dealer quoted me $1540.69 to replace the BCM which I declined. Now I'm checking into getting the BCM repaired by an aftermarket company...these are problems I never had with my Toyota. There's a reason why a Tacoma is 30% higher on the used car market...not having nearly as many nit picking issues to deal with

This is my second Nissan Frontier, I've owned and drove my 2001 for 8 years and I must say it has been the most reliable vehicle I have ever owned, I still own it. I've owned the new Frontier for 2 months now and the only complaints I have thus far is the drivers seat and the center console.

Possibly the worse vehicle I've every owned? All of the companies that write reviews for this truck want to praise it, then why didn't I get the same truck they rave about? The front suspension is horrible. It will not drive straight on the pavement, it wonders from side to side, and heaven forbid if you hit a pothole as it will throw the truck sideways. And talk about bump steer, I've never experianced a truck whose steering wheel yanks to the side when you hit a bump. The steering will flat wear you out if you take it on a dirt road. It will want to pull the wheel side to side with every bump. I have owned trucks for 40 years and this is the worse. I can't wait to sell it.
Great Truck

I am quite pleased with this truck. I was open minded towards purchasing any brand and type of truck. I chose the Frontier for several reasons:Better seating position then Tacoma (I am short); Good build quality; Power; (V6) plenty of it with decent fuel economy. Not too big, not too small; perfect size for someone who doesn't live in their truck. Drives very well; confident handling and feel. Don't be fooled, you can't have someone in the back for any long period of time in King Cab
Great mid size truck

The cash for clunkers program stimulated me to trade but it would have been well worth it, even if I had to pay the extra $4500. Nice ride, better mileage than what I was driving and looks great. The 4 cylinder is sufficient for my purpose of mostly driving and some hauling.
