Traded up from Toyota Tacoma

Just traded in my 2007 Toyota Tacoma for a new Nissan Frontier LE Crew Cab. I had to have more comfort than the Toyota seats would give me. I really hate that Toyota didn't offer a upgrade leather power seats in the Tacoma because I did generally like the truck. But since getting my new Nissan, I have never looked back. It's a wonderful truck and a wonderful ride with the LE Value truck package of goodies. fully adjustable Leather heated seats, Steering wheel stalk tilts down for real comfort. Have already put 1500 miles on it and find that the gas mileage on a long trip runs 20+/- mpg. I'm not sorry that I switched trucks. Nissan makes a great product and its also made in the South

This was the my first ever Nissan. I looked at Toyota, Ford, Suzuki, and Dodge. The dealer became the difference. I had a great experience. Having said that, I love my truck. I have the 4 banger with a 5 speed auto. The millage I get so far is better then the EPA at 19 city and 23 highway. It handles well but takes U turns wide. The auto has a hard time picking a gear in mountain driving. San Jose rains a lot and it handles very well in wet and windy conditions. I love everything about this truck! I would stongly recommend it and honestly after looking at the Toyota, I see little reason to buy one when the Frontier is a better truck in my opinion. Also check out the Suzuki Equator.

Honest review 177,000 miles

I purchased my 2010 4.0 V6 SE 2WD back in 2016 with 70,000 miles. Initially it was a major upgrade that I desperately needed for work. I drive at least 50-70 miles a day working construction around town. So far these are the issues I have had and or currently have with it: - Starting issue (replaced IPDM $120.00) 130,000 - Dead battery($140.00) 140,000 - Leaking at passenger side heater hose pt# 27185M and 92400( replacement part $60.00) 150,000 - Stalling/loss of power issue ( replaced alternator $240.00!!! /timing belt as well $20.00) 177,000 - Stalling/ loss of power (replaced Camshaft Position Sensor $80.00) 177,000 - Leaking power Steering fluid ( have yet to fix) 177,000 I have taken the liberty of learning how to work on my own vehicle, just a little bit every day. In my honest opinion if you take care of this truck it will be good to you. However maintaining this vehicle has been quite expensive and tedious to remove and install parts and pieces due to the design of the engine. - Full synthetic oil+filter ($50.00) from walmart. I have to use about 7 quarts in mine even though owners manual says 5. - Transmission fluid 999MP-MTS00P Nissan Matic-S Automatic Transmission Fluid ($20.00/quart) will need about 4 for a standard flush. If you are willing to put in the effort and dont abuse it its a good buy. BUT!! Do your research... some years and models have different issues that may only surface later on down the road. It would be wise to look at RANGERS, TACOMAS, and the HONDA RIDGELINE as well.

One Sweet Truck

Bought this truck just before Christmas 2009. I tell you what a fun truck to drive , a very very peppy 4cyl with a smooth shifting Auto Trans. This truck really moves, handles well, and is very very quiet! Had a 2000 Frontier but this one is a far cry better !!! I would recommend the 4cyl Auto to anyone if you just need a truck to drive and not pulling anything. Plenty of ZIP getting on the Highway. Love the ride also the 16" tires and wheels are a nice addition. Overall as you can tell i am very impressed with this truck, the more i drive it the more i like it !!! And it is a very nice looking truck at that ! Traded a Honda CRV for this and have not looked back since !!! Way to go NISSAN

Great Truck

I bought this truck for my wife to drive to work and also for my use when I have little projects at home. At first my wife did not want a truck but she finally gave in after the test drive, now she won't let me drive it. This truck is awesome for the price. I was debating between this and the Tacoma but the Toyota people must think I'm rich because they want to charge crazy money for the Tacoma. This Frontier is plenty of truck for the money. And of course the reliability that comes with Nissan is something to consider. Overall this is a great truck.
