Used 2019 Nissan Frontier Consumer Reviews
Rented tgis for a week at Christmas
Visited Indiana just after Christmas and was stuck with this truck by Alamo. Was a 4X4 SV. I wasn’t thrilled with driving a truck, as I planned to drive to Ohio and Michigan before returning to Indiana and didn’t need a truck or the low mpg. The 4X4 paid off as the last couple days brought some messy snow. I have had AWD before, but never had used 4 wheel drive. I read the manual and it was easy to carefully switch when needed. My driving was 90 percent highway and when using 2wd got approximately 20 mpg. In poor weather with more city and using 4wd more it was about 17 mpg. The turn radius was poor, but backup camera helped. The ride was okay, but felt very bouncy on bumps. I owned a 2013 Toyota Tacoma 2wd for a short time and I liked that truck much better. The extended cab is nice for the additional seating but hurts side visibility if you are checking your shoulder on lane changes.

The old new 2019 Nissan Frontier
I had a Nissan Pickup back in the early 90's. I also appreciate the simplicity of this 2019 model. I smiled when I flipped down the night setting on the mirror. My lexus has an auto dimming mirror that I can't tell that it's doing anything. This truck is a value proposition and even more so since they're changing the drive train for 2020. All the old simple trucks & cars are going for big money at the auctions. This is a rare new truck that's build old school. Only have 100 miles on mine. The difference between the one back in the 90's is this one has a '1' vin number and that one had a J. I prefer a J, but was willing to compromise for the steal of a century. lolz

Don’t get a manual transmission
My son bought a brand Nissan Frontier 4x4 with a manually transmission. At around 30000 miles the clutch came apart. After a lot of arguing with the dealer they agreed to replace the parts but labor was not included. After the repair the Nissan manager told him he would never buy a Nissan truck with a manual transmission because of the mechanical problems. Apparently they forgot to tell my son that when he bought it new. He drove straight to the Toyota dealer to trade it in.

Known issue that Nissan Corporate won’t even fix
While streaming music from Spotify using my iPhone 8 Plus via Bluetooth, about every 4-10 songs the infotainment screen will freeze then reboot. 2 dealerships have looked at it a total of 4 times, with a total of over 2 weeks in the shop for this one issue. Now I’m told it’s a known problem between their stereo and the most common make of smartphone on the planet. There is no fix, and no timeframe for a fix. Frontier owner websites are rife with posts about the issue going back a year, so I’m not holding my breath for a fix. Both corporate and my local dealership are refusing to fix my truck that hasn’t even made it to the first oil change yet. This is the fifth and final new Nissan in my family.
