2012 Nissan Frontier SV Sport Appearance

2012 Nissan Frontier SV 4dr Crew Cab 5.0 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I bought the 2012 Nissan Frontier Sport Appearance crew cab a month ago, and I love it! I couldn't stand the gas mileage in my 07 f-150 5.4L anymore, so I traded for the Frontier. I tow a fairly heavy 20 ft. flats boat, and I was nervous at first about towing with the V6 versus my big 5.4L. The Frontier does perfect! Pulling power is impressive, and the suspension actually feels better … than the ford when loaded down. Gas mileage is impressive compared to the 12-15 I was getting, I drive a mixture of city/ highway and right now I'm getting 19.4. I would definitely recommend this truck to anyone looking to get away from the MPG of a full-size truck without sacrificing ANY power.

You cannot Beat the midsized Nissan Frontier!

2012 Nissan Frontier SV 4dr Crew Cab 5.0 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I liked my 2008 Frontier so much that I replaced it with this 2012. Had the '08 not been totaled, I would still be enjoying it today. Strong, durable, dependable, and fairly efficient. This one has a short bed, so it maneuvers better and parks in tighter spaces than the Large cab/long bed version. If you are not hauling big loads often, get the short bed. You can use a bed extender or a … trailer on occasion, and enjoy the compact size for everyday use. The Frontier is the best used value in the midsize truck segment because they have good prices, and are more reliable than most of the competition (and many Nissan offerings). I have no regrets in buying this truck, and would like to keep it for many years. Nearly as bullet-proof as a Toyota, but several $K cheaper to buy- especially in the used market.
