This truck has offered me everything I need and nothing I don’t. It’s engine is 5-speed perfection that reminds you that’s all you need in a vehicle- it gets you where you want to go in any weather. I have gotten used to the anti-bling interior that is a rarity nowadays, more like a Motel 8 interior you will soon feel comfortable in if you’re tired enough. It’s a truck, so shiny is not a word in its dictionary. If you need a truck for work and play- no need to look further. It won’t let you down.

I purchased this truck used 8700 miles on it. It has been very dependable and gets 17.5 miles per gal. in town. added a rear view camera which this vehicle needs. Also I installed an HID light system. The truck does not have a lot of bells and whistles. It has been very dependable and I like the 4.0 V6 automatic Trans. combination. This trucks performs well and I would purchase it again. I have had no dealership problems and only have performed routine Maintenance. I have driven the Frontier about 9,000 miles now and I love the truck all around performance. 7/4/19 24000 miles truck has performed flawlessly. No problems this is a grate truck and I am very happy with it. Added a backup camera and HID light system which this truck should have had from factory. All else grate.

After one year, I opened the door for the cabin filter and 1) the latch broke, and 2) there were no cabin filters installed. Really had to save a nickle and leave out two paper filters? Not impressed.

This Frontiers best asset is fuel cost. First midsize truck I have owned, It is nice to fillup less than 40$. Not quite as comfy as full size trucks, but will pull utility trailer loaded to my satisfaction. Have been on 7hr, 4hr, and a few 2hr trips. Longer trips not this trucks strongpoint, gas mileage yes, luxury no. Will pass traffic with ease when necessary. If you find a V6 on sale i recommend this Nissan.

Traded my SV Murano in for the vehicle. Doesn't have the comfort of the Murano, but it's a truck. Nice stiff suspension giving it a solid feel on the road. I was surprised I found one with a manual tranny, 6 speed, because manuals just aren't all that popular anymore. First is very low making it very easy to pull out on hills. There's a feature that aids in minimizing rearward drift starting on hills that seems to work. On level ground you can easily pull out in 2nd gear. Once you shift into 2nd, you can really feel the power of the 6 banger and it's easy to not realize you've jumped to 35mph in no time. Plenty of power for this truck from the 6 cyl power plant. Easy to break traction pulling out way moreso than I've had with my older Nissans. This truck would be very easy for a rookie driver to learn how to drive a stick with. I'm a bit disappointed that there's not more storage inside the vehicle. One map pocket on the back of the seats, but it's in the right place for the driver to get to on the back of the passenger seat. Tiny glove boxes, yes, 2 of them, but they're really small. The console could have better design as there's hardly any storage there, not even a place to put your CD's. Has 2 12V plugs on the dash (handy for your Garmin) and a plug with a usb port inside the console storage box. I don't think the ports inside the console are very well placed and think you'd have to leave the arm rest open to use them. The interior does look cheap, but it's practical with heated cloth seats. At least you won't get burned hopping onto a leather seat when it's hot. The rear seats are full size seats, but not high enough off the floor. Rear under seat storage is poor - can't put a golf bag under them or a tackle box, but you can store some flatter items. Let's not forget, it's a small truck anyway. For short trips the rear seats would be ok for a couple buds to ride along to the golf course or fishing hole, but not for an extended trip unless you're talking like a 25 year old. Not good for us older folks. I would imagine having winter hunting gear on it would be tight as well. Road lighting is fair. I hope I can replace the head lamps with either Xenon or HID lights. Guess I was spoiled with my Murano. The ride itself is not bad. Again, it's a small truck. Would like to have seen 20" tires on this instead of smaller to get more longevity on tire wear. Overall, it's a pretty nice looking truck. Comes with a bed extender and moveable anchors for tying down cargo in the bed - nice feature. Much of this review is more first impression because I just got this one a few days ago so I can't comment on what I haven't seen yet. Also overall, I'm fairly satisfied with this vehicle. If I can, I'll update my review as things become apparent. UPDATE 1/2020: Well, a few things that have come to light. This is a standard. There's no gear indication on the dashboard for what gear I'm in, the mileage is not good for this small of a truck with the engine it has. It should be getting at least 19 MPG, but it's struggling to maintain 16 with summer gas and 14 with winter gas. I've noticed now rust is developing near the gas cap on a weld under the gas door. VERY DISAPPOINTED with rust showing up. The more I look at this vehicle, the more it appears the paint on the bumper and on the fenders is two different shades and should not be. Was thinking this truck was in an accident, but the carfax says it's a clean truck.The headlights could be better and the gear indication could really help. The truck has no navigation, but it is available as an option. I'm not impressed at all with the radio, even on FM. I've not had the rear window opened. I'm rather disappointed in the current dealer who took over for West Hills Nissan. I have no confidence in them keeping me up to date with recalls and issues like West Hills did. It's like either they don't care or are not familiar with the warranty I purchased - it's the same as I had for the Murano I bought there. I do not think I'll be buying another Nissan. Perhaps will change to Honda or Toyota. UPDATE 1/2022: Not putting many miles on my truck, thank God for that because the mileage has worsened. I'm lucky now to get 12 MPG city and 14 MPG hwy. Sad! More rust is showing up. Had to do a brake job - had to change rotors and pads on front. Rears are still in good shape. Getting older, I didn't tighten the lugs to specs and lost 4 of the 6 along with a couple studs shearing. Make sure you torque those lug nuts on these things if you do your own brakes and then recheck the torque after about 75 miles or so. Could have cost my life or someone else's or I could have hurt a kid even and I sure as hell wouldn't want that to happen. Other than these couple of items, and those mentioned before, the truck is fairly good. I just would have been better off buying a full size truck.
