2013 SV 4X4 fan
perfect truck --- I run royal purple -- 02/20/2021 updated review -- 5+ years owned -- Nissan Frontier still perfect! -- 16.86 MPG average -- 107K miles -- just did a Royal Purple oil/ filter change and replaced the brake rotors/ pads w/ Duralast at home. I now drive with highway tires KUMHO CRUGEN HT51 265/70R/16 and ride is so smooth.

I love this truck!
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.

Cheap to buy, cheap to own
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.
Worth it!!!
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.
