This truck has not changed since 2005 much. There have been some cosmetic changes yet those changes are small and not much of an enhancement. In fact this truck has the poorest interior of all midsize trucks. The engine is fantastic, I love the HP to torque ratios on this truck and the fully boxed frame. Cons are that there are sensor issues(fail before the part they sense), coolant mixing with the transmission giving the user huge bills, power train issues. Unfortunately, every mechanic I have taken this truck to seems to not know how to fix those issues either. Many parts have been replaced by my own hands. This is the frustrating part and in the end you spend a lot of money trying to repair this truck and the worst part is that Nissan dealerships are denying responsibility for any of those issues. They are ignored even though thousand I mean thousands(just google the truck you will see) are reporting transmission issues due to a part that is faulty and allows coolant to mix with transmission fluid. The heater inside the truck has never really worked for me either since I bought it new. It is unfortunate that many users are experiencing the same issues especially if they are safety issues. I do not recommend buying this truck unless youre ok with it lasting 10 years maximum. Do not buy if you plan to make it a long lasting vehicle. The interior seets are also causing me back issues due to how uncomfortable they are. Nissan has a real possible gem here but as long as they don't address and DENY these issues I would say DO NOT BUY this potentially bad ass truck! Months later I'm being asked to update this review and again, youll want to spend another 6K on a Toyota! Being asked again to update the review and it’s on its last leg 14 yrs running and recently replaced rotors, fan clutch, thermostat, spark plugs, and now my coils are going out one by one. Do Not purchase! These trucks dont last!!! UPDATE: There is a really nice new Frontier model coming out in 2022. Heed my warning, it is still a Nissan and likely to have all the same issues the previous frontier had. I talked to a guy with a Chevy and Ford pickup truck who had the same mileage and they had not replaced anything in their pickups other than the TPMS tire sensors. DO NOT BUY A NISSAN, I will never walk into another Nissan dealership! Update: 12/16/2022 I still use the truck and boy it’s nice to have it running. However, every year there are at least 2 major repairs needed on the truck. Since I bought the truck every year it has required one or two major repairs each year. I feel like I built the engine compartment with all the parts. Bottom line this truck was trash when I bought it and has not changed. These trucks do not age well. Inspect for rust on the frame under your Nissan when/if you buy as well. 6/18/2023 No change. 12/2024 I just replaced the power steering pump. Many frontiers are having the same issue and is because the power steering pump connector (nozzle that connects the suction/reservoir hose to the pump is faulty. So if you are leaking address it right away or it will ruin your alternator(like it did to my alternator) and starter. The PS pump connector I am referring to was not machined correctly so there is a slow steady leak coming from what appears to be the pump. Your pump is likely functioning, just check your fluid level and maintain a full level or replace the entire assembly. TO DATE: The last items to replace on the truck are the timing belt tensioners which NISSAN knew was faulty and denied fixing it. Well I’ve had my truck for 20 years and after year 1 those timing tensioners failed. I am still driving with failed tensioners and it whines like a wife. I hate that Nissan couldn’t fix this for me after the thousands I gave them and after they knew about it. I am so glad they are going down in business and the people have had it with NISSAN and no longer buying them. The American people got screwed badly by NISSAN and now they are paying up on all those class action law suits!!! Redemption is delicious!

I kept seeing this on the lot back in March and April of 2020 at the dealership. It was CPO with only 2350 miles. I went in and got a great deal on practically a brand new truck. I've had it for 14 months and now have 14300 miles on it. So far I've absolutely love it, LOVE IT! It's still new and under factory warranty through the end of the year, so no problems at all. I've considered purchasing an extended warranty from Nissan before the factory warranty runs out, but I'm just not sure. What I love about the truck the most, is it's a truck. It has the touch screen, back up camera, bluetooth and power windows/locks... all necessities these days. It has the tow package which I use for my trailer from time to time. Other than that, it looks like a truck and drives like one. It's very comfortable, I'm 6'2", it's fine in the back for my younger kids (7 and 9) but I wouldn't want to have adults sitting back there on a regular basis. The V-6 is more than enough power for me, it drives great, turning radios is a little something to be desired, and I don't really tow anything other than bags of leaves, brush or stuff I'm getting out of my house in my trailer... maybe the quads every now and then. I usually average about 17.8 mpg around town and I've gotten 20.6 on a trip from NJ to southern VA. So not the best gas mileage but better than my old 2003 F150 which was 13/16. I love the look of the truck, the height is perfect for me, so far easy to maintain and keep clean, and it's just a good mid-sized truck. I couldn't be happier with it. If you don't want to spend $40-$50k or up, don't need to haul major stuff, and aren't looking at getting anything over than 20mpg, give it a look.

Unless you are planning on doing a little replacement pf very expensive parts I would not in vest in another one! So far I have replace the right motor window regulator 2x and now at 84,000I have had to replace right rear leaf spring which broke and both rear shocks Not to mention the front end work that was done. Not a happy camper. Never have I ever broken a leaf spring and no I do not go off road or doing a lot of heavy loads in my truck; I am a 68 year old female who enjoys driving a bigger vehicle . Would I buy again NO NOT IN MY LIFE TIME! Back to Chevy for me All my vehicles have lasted up to 1500r close to 200.000 miles befor any major work had to be done!!!

Rented an economy car from budget for 4 days at harrisburg airport last week and was given the Nissan Frontier Crew with no upgrade cost :) Smooth runner with plenty of pep climbing mountains! Got 19 mpg. No complaints from my tall son's about rear legroom. Figured since I was given a truck I might as well use it as such besides visits to mom in nursing home. We hauled 4 loads of unsplit oak to our farm 7 miles. You can tell there should be another leaf in the Springs or a thicker main leaf. BOUNCY,BOUNCY over little dips in road! One major annoyance was the driver side armrest has a hole to pull door closed that is way too big and my elbow kept ending up in it! Price should be more like $15,000 - $20,000 for this light duty truck!
