Best affordable truck that is also reliable

I rented a 2018 pro4x and took it off roading in Anza-Borrego state park in southern California. It shined and I was thoughly impressed. I wanted a wrangler, or zr2. But there prices are just not justifiable for 90% of the market. My uncle owned a 1990 nissan hardbody v6 with the mickey thomson off-road package. He took that little truck everywhere. It was at 405,000 miles when it was totalled on a freeway 5 car pile up. Nissan builds reliable trucks at a affordable price. Thats something jeep and GM can't do anymore. That's why I grabbed a pro4x with the luxury package the second it went on sale. If you need all the latest and greatest electronics, then you probably don't need a off-roader.

If you are in need of the latest bells and whistles and tech, do not buy this truck. The cabin instrumentation is very basic re: no gps, no satellite radio. Heck, it even has a radio antenna. However, this is a comfortable and rugged vehicle and a whole lot cheaper than its prettier competitors.

The "Con's" Listed Here Are Wrong

I have been a fan of the Nissan Frontier for more than a decade. I have been driving one for more than 5 years. The vehicle handles great. Better than most trucks in fact. My daughters (6'-0" & 6'-1") have enough leg room in the back seat. The gas mileage is not "lagging far behind" it's competition. It fact it is about the same. Very few trucks get 16/22 mpg. The interior does not look or feel cheap. This is a top notch quality truck and a great value.

Good Old Reliable Design Is New to Me

Because I wanted a pick up, I just traded in my nice 2013 Nissan Xterra Pro4X for a used 2019 Frontier SV 4WD with 14,000 miles. Mine has factory floor carpets, tow package and bed liner. I added a bed tonneau cover. Unlike my old Xterra there are no fog or off road lights, no navigation system and no locking rear differential. After having these things for the last 6 years I looked for a pickup without them. Why: -- Car navigation systems are expensive to keep up to date. Updating the maps each year costs more than buying a new auto GPS and the GPS comes with free map updates. Plus, if you only drive where you can get cell data just use Google maps. -- Nissan's foglights only work when you turn on the regular beams, so they don't help much when driving in fog or snow. True foglights can work alone. -- As for the off-road lights: the factory kit from Nissan is only two lights; they are not very bright and can only be turned on when the high beams were on. -- I did not want the locking differential. The one on the Pro4X Nissans is known to be problematic. Mine would periodically light a warning light on the dashboard because water would get in the sensor in the rear differential. In fact this was the only problem I had with the Xterra in 110,000 miles. What I like about the Frontier is the old school combination of price, ride, power, comfort and features. Electric locks and windows, cruise control, steering wheel audio controls, 4WD, basic blue tooth for audio and phone, a USB input for storing additional audio files. A nice large rear view camera integrated into the radio. No expensive unnecessary technology and gadgets. You won't need to pull out the owner's manual to work the radio. It won't keep you from crashing into the car in front of you if you don't pay attention. It's a comfortable ride that is powerful enough to tow over 6000 lbs and pass slow traffic while doing it. What I don't like about the Frontier just relate to the audio. Apparently the radio won't recognize more than a few thousand songs on a USB drive and there is a little rattle in the front right door speaker. Finally, In some cars the rear view camera does not go on when the truck is put in reverse. Mine works, but a software refresh is needed to prevent the condition. My truck is still under the bumper to bumper factory warranty. We will see what the dealer does with these issues next week. If they can't fix it, I'll put in a updated new audio head unit and speakers.

Only knocks I could find in reviews of this vehicle when purchased was lack of techy stuff and gas mileage not so good. Here is a more accurate review. Gas mileage is much better than anything I have ever owned (Chevy, Ford, Dodge) at 23 average . I am extremely pleased with the performance for a 4 banger. Plenty of get up and plenty of power for what I needed. This is a tow vehicle for our motorhome and seems to be exactly what we needed. The comfort while driving is great with plenty of room for a guy over 6 foot. Really easy to access everything within the cab and Body lines are fantastic! Our dealership was AWESOME!! BZ out to Benton Nissan of Bessemer!
