Tried out Tacoma (did not like ride and vis ability), Colorado. Liked Frontier best of all three at about 5K less money. Fuel economy was a concern. However, first two fill-ups 19 plus mpg...I'm happy.

Nice, No Frills Crew Cab SV 2015
I bought this truck because I wanted a 4x4 midsize truck that would fit in my garage without paying 35+ thousand dollars. It is a nice, reliable truck that is fairly comfortable in the front and I like the heated cloth seats. I drove 1000 miles straight thru and had no problems. However, the back seats are terrible and I would feel sorry for anyone who has to ride in the back. Luckily, I am generally the only one in it so for me it isn't a problem. The infotainment system is ok, but not great. I have trouble with the primary apps (Pandora and Iheart Radio) dropping off occasionally and the speakers aren't great. It has dual climate control which I love. I also like the value package that came with the truck that allows for tying down cargo in the bed, along with the bed extender. My biggest and loudest complaint is the awful, terrible gas mileage. The truck has plenty of power, which is nice, but it is at the expense of gas mileage. There are full-size trucks out there that get way better fuel economy. In all, it is a nice reliable truck. I like it and would recommend it, but just understand what your getting. I am leasing this for another 1 1/2 yrs and will probably let it go primarily because of the gas mileage. However, if they can improve on the fuel economy before my lease is up then I would have no problem getting another one, because it is a nice truck otherwise.

Bookkeepper One
Several packages over and above Std Crew Cab with 5 foot bed. Head restraints on back seats block 2/3rds of rearview mirror. I removed the head restraints to have full view of rear of truck. GPS/Navigation comes as a premium. You can have GPS with custom mount for a lot less money and viewing the GPS is just off your right side of the steering wheel at the 2 o'clock position. I have used my TomTom 5/7" on the last 4 Nissan Frontier Trucks with the same custom mount to the dashboard through the top vent of the left A/C vent. The custom mount goes with me on each sale. V6 Engine provides plenty of power when needed on the highway or on a city street. I purchased separately a custom bed cover which enhances the gas mileage about 3% and completes the trim of the back of the truck. Also keeps the storage area dry. The bed extender attached to the inside of the bed with side & floor tracks with cleats has always been a must for the truck bed. I am 6'4" the Frontier offers plenty of leg room and head room. So look over the various features and comfort packages to get what you need.

Great quality for the value
This is a solid truck. Heavy truck for mid size. Handles well when driving and going around turns it really hugs the road, feels great to drive. Owned a Toyota Tacoma before but didn't have as much power and felt lighter and didn't handle the best when going around turns.

Steering Steering Steering
I'll keep this short. Needed a truck to replace my 2001 Ford Ranger 4x4 and this truck appeared to fit that need. Negotiated for a good price and road tested it on local roads, less than 50mph. It handled ok. What a surprise though when driving on highway or any back roads that are posted 50 plus that have curves. You'll need to work that steering wheel to keep the truck on line. I drive school buses, flat noses and conventional, and they handle 10 times better than this truck. Fortunately for me most, not all,, is local driving. If your thinking about buying this truck, road tested it like no other vehicle you've bought before.
