In May, 1017, I traded my Nisson truck in on a 2016 Honda CRV. I have arthritis in my back, hip, & shoulders so it became more difficult to raise & lower the tailgate & bed cover. Also, gas mileage was worse than anticipated. I NO LONGER OWN THIS TRUCK.

So far I love this truck. I have only had it a month and I love the way it drives and handles the road. If I had to give a negative, the navigation system is a little bit lacking and subpar to say a store bought dash GPS.Other than that, Great Truck!!!

First of all don't believe everything you read from the so called experts that reviews cars and trucks. My 2016 Nissan Frontier S, crew cab, automatic with 4.0, Gas mileage is just as good as the Toyota Tacoma and Midsize Chevrolet for 2016. I've hauled around 1,200 pounds (can goods) you don't know it's back there. In my opinion it's over powered, which I like. It's a great all around midsize truck. The back seat could have a few more inches of leg room. Other than than there isn't a thing wrong with the Frontier. First of all the frontier crew cab is a lot better truck than the Edmund report made it out to be. No spongy brakes, braking is excellent, steering is great, no hard or slow steering, interior noise level is low. The Nissan Frontier is a truck. If you want a luxury interior in a truck, then you don't need a truck, get a SUV if you want luxury. I'm well pleased with my 2016 Frontier. Handles very nicely, acceleration is great, gas mileage could be a little bit better, I have the 4.0 engine with automatic transmission, city driving 16 to 17.5 mpg, on the road 22.25 mpg. It's the right height from the ground for me and my wife to get into with ease. (I don't need a step stool to get in it). All in all it's a great truck for my use.

This vehicle, a 2016 Frontier SV does not have automatic headlights. Almost every truck does. The LED screen is just 5 inches when most trucks are eight inches or more. Very stiff ride, which I like. Dealer was excellent. Second Nissan Frontier that I have owned.

Best truck I’ve ever had.

I’ve gone through a few trucks over the years and nothing has been as awesome as my 6 speed manual Pro-4X Frontier. It’s the perfect truck that does everything I NEED and more. I love the simple body styling and basic no frills interior. Also I can care less that it doesn’t have all the fancy electronics that most trucks come with as I don’t need or want them. And because Nissan hasn’t changed it every couple years like every other brand, I believe it to be hands down one of the most reliable trucks out there, even better then the current Toyota Tacoma’s. I’ve towed with it, beaten in it and taken it Offroad countless times and this truck doesn’t skip a beat. My favorite thing about my Frontier is the 6 speed manual transmission, just can’t beat shifting gears. 2021: Update I bought my wife a 2020 Frontier Midnight Edition that’s how awesome these trucks are.
