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.

Do not buy a Nissan Frontier pickup. I have owned on for less than 2 years and it has been in the shop for over 30 days. It has stranded us twice on road trips and required towing. The catalytic converters have had to be replaced 3 times. Once they replaced all four. Requested Nissan to replace truck under the "lemon laws" and they denied the requested. Offered me two free car payments. I told them I paid cash and had no payment so then they offered by 2 years free oil changes. They do not stand behind their products. Our local dealership has been great but they did not build this unreliable vehicle Nissan did. My family has owned 6 Nissans in the past but this is the last one. Please do not fall into the trap we did and buy anything from NISSAN.

driver leg room less than my 2012 model though specs say they're the same. Turning radius is poor.
