2017 Nissan Frontier SV 4dr King Cab 4WD 6.1 ft. SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
4 of 5 people found this review helpful

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.

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.

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 truck is not a luxury model it is however a working mans truck . It has excellent power out of the gate as it shifts thru the gears its smooth and very crisp changes I was never a nissan fan but becoming one I would buy it again interested a ford and a Toyota and I think the nissan was definitely the best deal
