We purchased the Nissan Frontier base model without power windows or door locks. We are in our 70's, and that was a mistake. We had vehicles like that when we were you and thought it would be no problem. It was. Two months ago I was driving by the Toyota dealer and they had the same truck, 2017 Frontier SV with those features. I drove in and traded truck. Over all I like that truck.

2016 Nissan Frontier PRO-4X 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 6M)

I have the Pro-4X manual, it is an awesome truck. It is the only truck available with a manual and a V6 engine. If you want power but to row through your own gears this truck IS the only option. An excellent thing about this truck is that it has a screen, but it's not a 55" TV in your front seat. Watch the road not your dash. I've rented cars where the screen lights up the whole car practically giving you temporary night blindness, this vehicle does not do that. One down side is that the maps may go out of date and there is a charge to get updated maps through a 3rd party company that many auto manufactures use, but that is everyone. And the fuel economy will be lower than a 5 speed Tacoma with a little 4 banger, but this is a V6. I'm sure a Corvette is going to lower fuel millage than a Geo. That the nature of having the ability to haul and have power. I definitely recommend having the 6 speed.

The frontier is a great truck. Not luxurious, But it's a proper work truck. I drove over 320+ miles with one tank on my first day. Only complaint would be the fact that there is AC controls and it blows air. But the truck does not blow cold. Base model is more affordable, but the next model up may be a better fit for most. 🙂

I bought mine in 2016 and have not had any problems with it since. I use to own a Ford Sports Trac before and find the suspension on the 4 Pro far sturdier then the Sports Trac.

This truck has all the bells and whistles with minimal miles and was about 25k less then the Tacoma I was looking at.
Worth it for the money

2016 Nissan Frontier SV 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 5.0 ft. SB w/Prod End 9/15 (4.0L 6cyl 6M)
0 of 0 people found this review helpful
I have a 2016 4x4 Crew Cab Frontier with 13,000 miles. Overall it's been a pretty good truck. The first Nissan (Datsun) truck I purchased was in 1977. My only issues and they're relatively minor. I have the V-6 with the 4 speed automatic. Before I've always had manual transmissions. .Going up moderately steep hills it seems to shift up and down the gears frequently. When trying to slowing and carefully move to negotiate an object, ie., in or out of a parking space, etc. as I slowing apply the gas the truck will suddenly begin to move. With only 13,000 miles there are one or two annoying squeaks on the frame or body. The center consul is so deep it's like a bottomless pit. When sliding heavy objects out of the bed the plastic cap on the top edge of the tailgate gets caught and comes off. After a few times it doesn't clip back in.

I purchased a silver 2016 4 door SV January 2017, came off as a rental with 11,000 miles.paying 21K. Put a matching camper top with yakima bars, leveling kit, bilstien shocks and 265 75 16B F Goodrich all terrains, bull bar with led lights and step bars. Looks good and rugged, all invested $25k.. Runs great, solid feel added a black hood decal . Looked at all the competitors. Had just sold my big chevrolet crew cab long bed 1500 HD (2003). wanted something smaller. This fits the bill the 4.0 litre engine DOHC 4 valves per cylinder awesome power. Yeah the mileage is about 15 around town but better than my silverado HD!! Im a truck lover and I love my Frontier. Consumer reports as it listed with 2 checks all the way down, except for infomation No electronics i like that. . To the guy that said there is no gear indication on the dash look again its there!
Dependable good truck

I opted for this at the time rather than wait for the Ridgeline redesign. I have been quite happy with the way this little bugger has performed. Whenever we travel my wife prefers we take this vs. her Subaru, which has a "busier" ride. Even though this is the top-line SL, some of the tech and interior finish is a bit crude, even for a truck. Mileage is another shortcoming. comfort and reliability have been the major positives.

I own a 2016 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X. I purchased it instead of the Tacoma because I got a lot more for the money, while still being comparable to the Tacoma on reliability. I haven't had any problems with the truck - it's held up great. It does amazing off road, and having run it consistently hard off road, it still drives like new. My major complaints would be the poor gas mileage and bad turning radius. Other than that, I love the truck

had a f-150 and had to dump it cause it was breaking the bank in repairs . this frontier is great in that it fits into the garage , has an extended bed , but one thing for sure , you need the step rails to get in and out easily . just love it

The Company not the vehicle

The company made a smaller truck (which are fairly popular) and made it so it is almost impossible to customize. Can't lower (without spending a fortune)...can't find after market wheels...and let's go on. Was interested in trading...no one will give me anything for it. I only have 5K miles on it (almost new) it is 1 1/2 years old..perfect condition--paid 24K and now no one will give me 14K for a almost new truck..not even the dealership I purchased it from. The story is longer but don't have all day. Had nothing but problems dealing with NISSAN when I purchased it.
