Sold my Ford Ranger for this truck

I've owned a 1980 Toyota SR5 4wd truck, then a 1992 Ford Ranger 4wd truck and then a 2000 Ford Ranger 4wd truck. All of these trucks were pretty decent and served me well but not without issues in each case. The Toyota was mechanically perfect but was a rust bucket after 5 years. Both Rangers were very solid and rust-free but not without various mechanical issues. I owned my last Ranger for 18 years and decided to finally replace it at 130k miles. So I was faced with the fact that the only truck left the size of the Ranger was is the Nissan Frontier. I found a lightly used 2016 Frontier SV 2wd with the 15k miles with value package". I absolutely love this truck. It is super solid, handles great, still looks great and is a pleasure to drive. This is by far the best truck I've owned in the past 30 years.

Manufacturer defective driver's side seat

My new 2016 Frontier is missing a bunch of padding near the backrest in the drivers seat. Feels like you are sitting in a hole and hurts my back. Nissan is not willing to replace or repair the seat. Passengers seat has the padding and is comfortable. 100% dissatisfied with Nissan Customer Service. I purchased a new 2011 Frontier and was very happy with the truck, so purchased a new 2016 exact copy. Both driver and passenger seats on the 2011 were identical and comfortable. After dealing with Nissan Customer Service, I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER NISSAN PRODUCT! The dealer and Nissan indicated they would write no more repair/complaints. So much for the LEMON LAW!

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. 🙂

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.
