It's fairly powerful - my father's Tacoma feels very sluggish compared to my truck. I've read criticisms of the ride quality but I've found it to be very smooth and comfortable. The touchscreen audio/Bluetooth system isn't the fanciest, but it was easy to figure out and works just fine. I don't do serious offroading, but it handles mud and sand quite well. It's not perfect - the driving position is fine for me because I'm short, but I can see how it might be uncomfortable for someone tall. The backseat is a bit cramped. The turning radius is indeed pretty wide, and fuel economy ain't great (though not significantly worse than similar trucks, either). The interior does indeed have much of the dreaded hard plastic....but so what? It's a truck, not a wannabe luxury car. It does the jobs I need done, and does them well, and for several thousands of dollars less than comparable trucks. Before I found mine I was looking at full size trucks and Tacomas that were several years older with double the mileage or more that would have cost me much more than what I paid for this one. For me, all the fancy electronic gizmos and gadgets that the competition has and the Frontier doesn't aren't worth all those extra thousands of dollars.

Just passed 100,000 miles on the 2018 Frontier. Outstanding vehicle, Starts, runs and drives like the day I bought it. I have replaced the tires and done basic maintenance but have had zero parts failures or functional issues of any kind. At this point, original battery, brakes, no AC service done etc. It isn't a gasoline miser at 20 MPG but the versatility, reliability and incredible performance in snow makes it the perfect truck for me.

Bought my 2017 Frontier 4 x 2 V6 SV 2door new in July 2017 as a factory order and love my truck! Tacoma rejected due to recent problems and I liked Frontier had been built the same basically since 2005. Gas mileage okay if you drive it sensibly and getting 20 - 21 mpg mostly hwy. Very comfortable interior and lots of power with V6. Tail gate very heavy and turning circle could be better but I’m being picky. Very reliable and love my Fronty! Best looking midsized truck and mine is a 2 door king cab, not a 4 door crew purchased new in July 2017. Minor paint chipping after 3 years, only mild complaint. ( your list of models below doesn’t include 2 door 2x4 wheel drive SV with V6, which mine is) Only minor issue was failed windshield washer pump outside warranty and quite inexpensive to replace. Just turned 30,000 km of mostly highway driving. Applied undercoating and Krown Rust Control at new as I hate rust, though not an issue in Vancouver Island. Krowned my 99 Cherokee in Calgary each year and still no rust! Kept as our ski vehicle with 390000 km.

This is the third Nissan Frontier Pro 4X (4WD, 6 cyl., automatic, King cab) that I've owned & they keep improving it. My only complaint is that they need to make more king cabs & less crew cabs. Gas mileage is great for a 4WD (19-21 MPG) & much better than full size pickups. The Pro 4X has all the bells & whitles that you'd want.

Was lucky to pick up a used V6 4WD Frontier SV King Cab with 6k miles on it. I've had it for 2.5 years, 35k miles and have not had a problem with it yet. I mostly use it for commuting, then use the 4WD when I'm down on the farm off-roading it. Mileage is about 18/21; to be honest I've had V6 *cars* that weren't that good. I like that it doesn't have all the electronic gewgaws the new full size trucks have. I'm an old farm lady and I just don't need that stuff. Another reviewer posted that the shifting is erratic and yes it is. This is the one thing I don't like about it. I thought it was just me being an Old Lady Driver! What I love about it is that it has the giddy-up to get me across 4 lanes of highway traffic and immediately start climbing a hill, and can get up to highway speed very quickly indeed without overstressing itself. I've made 2 long trips in it, both were comfy. I'm shortish so can't really address leg room. I've had Nissan cars for most of my driving life but this is my first Nissan truck, so here's hoping it's as reliable as most of the cars were.
