I owned a Tacoma TRD crew cab and while I enjoyed the truck, I didn't enjoy paying for it. A few years later, I find myself in the market for another vehicle, so I gave the 2014 Frontier SV 4x4 a try... and it's every bit as great as the Tacoma, minus the sticker shock. It handles great, rides smooth as one can reasonably expect a 4x4 pickup to (takes potholes in Northern Virginia like a champ), has a lot of get-up-and-go, and the interior is even more comfortable than my Tacoma was. I'm looking forward to owning this truck for many, many years. Update: I was sitting at a red light when a guy (in another Nissan Frontier, no less) rear ended me at 50+ mph without even hitting his brakes. Needless to say, my Frontier didn't survive, but I got out of it with nothing more than a little whiplash and a mild concussion. Up to that point, I was still really enjoying the truck and I can finally say that the safety, with regard to rear impacts, is pretty good.

I bought this to tow our 3,500 lb Casita travel trailer. We added a Leer Cap. We have a 2013 crew cab SV with 4.0 2WD and 5-speed auto. The 265 HP is more than adequate and beats our old BMW X5 3.0 by at least 30 HP. Steering at highway speeds is vague and it wanders, but I noticed the tires are wearing on the inside and I believe the factory set the front-end with too much toe-out. The headlight aim needs adjusting, too. The sterro is OK, but the iPod starts by itself sometimes for no reason. We added add-a-leaf springs to the back for towing, as it sagged a bit when loaded. Overall, it was about what I expected for a $25,000 vehicle.

This is my 2nd frontier, my first was a 2005 cc LE it was rock solid, now I have a 2013 pro 4 x that has been a fantastic truck.I am confident if you hooked this truck bumper to bumper, I can drag your Colorado/canyon and ranger all over the parking lot- Underrated!! UPDATE: This has been one of the most solid built reliable vehicles I’ve owned, and after more than 10 years of the same engine and transmission setup, IT SHOULD BE, if you haven’t got the bugs worked out after this long manufacturing the same product, maybe you should go sell pie, do urself a favor…. Go test drive one, and compare it to the ithers
AWESOME small truck!!

This is my very first light weight truck and I will tell you I love the way it handles and I drive manual so the 6 speed if great, fast pick up in speed, great to take out on the trail. This truck out shines all the GMC light weight and Chevys light weight is how well made it is nothing cheap on the Frontier. Looking very forward to many years with this truck. Well worth what I paid.
didn't due enough homework

This not the vehicle drive if windy out, body material cheap sheet metal, paint fading and rub off at drivers side door panel Less than 1 year old and foam rubber seal around doors already splitting wide open, Haven't used radio since 4 months old speakers sound awful, affects Bluetooth as well can't understand caller Interior plastic or vinyl scraches too easy pernament scuffs marks just from work boots only 2 weeks old and notice blemishes on back plastic bed wall, although its not possible looks like sun damage, Supension awful over loads is not cable of 5000 lb trailering like suggested in vehicle specifications, Leaf spring shackle 1/2 inch bolt reduced to 1/4 inch for nut broke resulting loss of both leaf springs within 4000 miles. Engine while driving is always shifting gears and speeding up on its own. Napoleon of Rivera Beach Fl. and Nissan have never stood behind bumper to bumper warrantee I have a commercail A license and have driven every type of vehicle you can think of tractor trailer to bucket trucks,. Since the Dealer and Nissan Motor Corporation never stood by their factory warranty, I would and never will suggest anyone but Nissan.
