Love my new Frontier, comfortable, fun to drive, and my wife loves it because being a four wheel drive she can get in and out without any problems😊 The climate control for heating and air is mainly not good. In cooler weather it is hard or near impossible to get heat without going up to temperature control dial near max. to get heat.

I have driven many vehicles in my past which includes a Dodge Ram 1500 when they first came out I'd switch over to a smaller vehicle because of commuting & because of gas prices. I totaled my Honda CRV and I wanted to feel a heavy truck that made contact with the road from my steering wheel after this terrible ordeal it does what it says it'll do so if you're looking for something that's not fancy and it's really a good old pickup truck at a reasonable price this is your truck ...my dogs love it and I have 5.

Shopped around for about 3 months before deciding on the Frontier due to reliability and price. Bought the SV Midnight Edition in the Magnetic Black Pearl. This vehicle in the black on black with the 18 inch wheels is smokin' hot to look at. I've had many compliments on it. The vehicle platform may be a bit dated compared to some other mid sized sport trucks, but it is a proven platform with probably the best 4.0 litre 6 cylinder engine on the market. With 261 hp and 281 lbs. of torque, it will move pretty good. Interior is good and very functional. I'm not one of those people that need a whole bunch of gadgets and electronic inside. I drove it off the lot with 8 miles on the odometer, and the only issue I have is that I do wish it got a bit better gas mileage. My last vehicle was a compact 4 cylinder, so I guess I got spoiled on 35-38 mpg. Overall, a reliable proven platform that performs and is great for my needs. $29,000 for a top model special edition truck that compares favorably to other brand trucks that start at $30,000+!

Midnight edition

I purchased a 2019 sc midnight edition with the double cab 4x4. When I bought it it had 29 miles. After 1 week of ownership I enjoy the beauty of simplicity in this truck. The interior is very dated but it also appears like it will hold up for a long time. The stereo has good sound for a base stereo. The exterior looks great even after 15 years of no changes. All the reviews I have found have seemed to be positive in regards to reliability. I know the old radiators has a transmission/ coolant mix problem, but everything I found seems like it was fixed around 2010/12. Also the issue with the timing chain guide was fixed after 2010. The truck is surprisingly roomy for how small it is. Seats are comfy and has good outward visibility all around. The midnight edition gives black 18’ wheels and blacked out badges which look incredible. They also had a promo to give the value pack for free. The steering radius is big but my old ram was worse. The main reason for buying the truck was the reliability and price. I looked for Tacoma’s and the gladiator and ranger. But the cost was way to high for a similarly equipped truck. Overall, I’m very happy with the truck it does everything I need. And I’m hopeful that the Nissan reliability will hold true for my truck as well. I will try to update the review once I have put more miles on it.

2019 pro-4x

I went in for an oil change recently for my 2015 frontier SV 4x4 with Value package, 54,000 miles. Salesman came up to me and asked if they could assess the truck and see what it's worth. FWIW, the frontier is a great inexpensive truck, they wanted it on there lot. I let them do their thing while I waited. Ten minutes later he came back and asked what I might move to if this would work, after dreaming of I platinum reserve titan, I mentioned the pro-4x in cayenne red (new shade of red this year). We were out on a test drive shortly after. Needless to say, I am the proud owner of a new truck, at the same payment i was at before, with a factory warranty for the next few years, at least. Differences between my 2015 vs 2019. Interior color, went from tan to grey, looks much better/newer, just with the color change. Almost makes it seem like not such an old design, lol. Trip computer is nice, 8way adjustable seat is so much better. The navigation/Rockford system is nice to have stock. 2015 had a 10" JL Audio sub under passenger back seat with RF punch 400 amp, sound was not comparable, but stock in 2019 is acceptable enough to spend my time to install 10" JL Audio sub and amp. Truck is louder, I had installed sound dampening on the floor and doors, not sure if I will spend the +-$90 and an afternoon to do, it was nice, though. Their isn't a grab handle for the drivers side a-pillar... doesn't seem like a good use of "redesign" money to delete. Need to get a receiver hitch, I tow a small (1500lbs) pop-up 6+ times a year. Now for the comedy... My son actually likes my truck now! He was having a rough day, he was about 5, was upset at me, and told me what was wrong and added "and I don't like the color of your truck!" Lol it was white, btw. Truthfully, the first truck was great, rear sonar sensors are sensitive/finicky, but, no signs of upcoming issues, besides needing tires soon. I don't see any issue buying a frontier, except everyone will wonder why you bought a "15 year old" truck. I will let you know why I did, cost and reliability, the coolant/transmission fluid issue was fixed a while ago, like 8(?) year ago. Why all media disregards this vehicle is beyond me, how many electronics do i want to have to deal with potentially failing within 10 years. This truck isn't this way, really only have to deal with rear sonar sensors if they touch anything to agressively. I would of had to spend an extra ~$3000 to get a comparably equipped tacoma, not really interested in the rest. Maybe the Ranger, but not til next year or 2 model...
