I have been a Frontier owner since 2001. Compared to other mid sized pickups, I find the Frontier fits me better than others. This 2018 is as comfortable as my 2002 but appears to have more leg room for the rear passengers. I like the way it drives but I have noticed the 2018 does not have the turning radius which the 2002 did. This Frontier is easy for me to get in and out of and sits nice while driving. I've had the 2018 for six months and so far I am totally happy with it.

If you're looking at this truck and reading these reviews, then you probably already know what the deal is. It's spartan, utilitarian, basic, and best of all, a great value. When looking at used trucks I was comparing the usual candidates, and for the price of a used 2013 Tacoma with 90k miles I was able to by my certified preowned 2018 Pro4x with less than 16k miles. I didn't even bother looking at the new Tacoma due to the transmission issues that seem to be plaguing the new generation. The 2nd gen Tacoma and 2nd gen Frontier are very comparable trucks with very similar capabilities, but for the price, I couldn't justify paying for a truck with just a hair more ground clearance, 30 less horsepower, and way more miles. Truck does great in the city, cruises 85 on the freeway with ease, has torque for days, and looks very handsome. The only cons are the "dated" interior, which is only an issue if you like the super edgy hightech crap they put in new cars. It isn't terrible, just simple and easy to use. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles like some of the new trucks, but that's ok, this is a real truck for people who are going to use it accordingly, besides, that's less stuff to go wrong! Long story short, if you're looking for a great value and great do it all truck that won't break the bank and is proven reliable, then don't hesitate!

Spent $3K less on a 4WD than a 2WD Tacoma was going to run me and i've own three 4WD toyotas over the years (a 22R, 3.0l, and a 4.7l Tundra). No transmission issues at all as compared to the new Tacoma. My test-drive of the tacoma verified what i read here on Edumunds regarding the "hunt" for the proper gear. First long-haul mileage was 23.6, acceptable. The radio button could be larger for convenience. IMO, the frontier is a much better value than the tacoma.

I owned two Ford rangers in a row and needed to replace my current one. Ford stopped making them so I looked around at all the small / midsize trucks. Found a used 2010 Nissan Frontier four door 4X4 in 2012 with 30,000 on it. Over the next 5 years I added 160,000 trouble free miles. When I saw the midnight editions online I knew I had to check them out. I discovered the 2018 had the same 4.0 liter engine and 5 speed transmission that I loved in my 2010. For the money, nothing comes close to this truck, not even remotely in the same zip code. Unbelievably versatile truck. I have driven through snow storms that had most vehicles off the road, with complete confidence. Massively underrated truck.

I purchased my 2018 Nissan Frontier SV in September 2018. I have always driven Chevrolet until this point. After I looked at prices I realized I could buy a new Frontier for what the used Silverado's cost. I didn't need the full size so I thought I would give the Frontier a drive. I was pleasantly surprised at the space inside the mid-size truck. Storage was abundant in the top and bottom glove compartments and the center console. Also, with the convenience truck package (wouldn't buy one without) there is storage beneath the rear seats which is great for straps, jumper cables and small tools. The heated seats work well (convenience package) and the truck rides more like a car than a truck. To me the truck performs great ride, drive, in-town, off-road. I read a lot of negative reviews about the Frontier being "outdated" and the interior being "hard plastic". This was great for me. If the truck is dirty or dusty just wipe it down with an armor-all wipe. Also, not as many electronic buttons to distract to mess up. To me, the 2018 Frontier SV 4x4 is a great value and strong truck.
