Frontier was purchased new during the recession. Dealer inventories were sparse. We needed to replace an industrial model S-10. This truck is loaded with options. In 9 yrs it has only required its recommended maintenance and a frt brake repair. Everything still works. It was very competitively priced as a new truck. Our primary issue with this truck is its unwieldy intown handling. On other roads it’s fine and has been our long trip car since new. Until recently it averaged nearly 20 mpg consistently. It has been used for heavy hauling on occasion without struggling or deterioration in its handling

This is my first truck, first "straight-from-the-factory" purchase, and first Nissan. 8k miles & 8 months later, I'm very happy overall with this vehicle. I naturally looked towards the Tacoma first since my buddy had one, but the price was steep. I then test drove the PRO-4X and I was highly impressed with the ride quality and handling both on and off road. The mpg does hurt if you drive in a slow speed town, but not too bad for highway travel. I've done everything with this truck except towing and mudding, and it runs beautifully.

Nissan should have named the 4x4 the Mountain Goat series..the Frontier out performs every other truck in it's class. Built like it looks.

I got it with the utility package. This means it has some whistle and bells. I compared to the Tacoma. The nissan to me road better. The cost of Toyota vs Nissan made it an easy choice Gas milage - 16city 19 combined

Terrific basic pickup. Runs well. stops well. No problems. Simple to operate. 4W easy in/out. All remains true after 10 low mileage years and original battery. No problems at all.
