Used 2020 Nissan Frontier Consumer Reviews
It's a truck, not the best MPG
Replaced 4 Cyl. RAM Promaster City, (not needed anymore) with used 2019 Nissan crew cab Frontier with 6 cyl engine. Do miss the better gas mileage of the Promaster City. Getting only 18 MPG for the Nissan in mostly rural driving. Frontier is much quieter with smoother but noticeably heavier ride. A few things are annoying or odd. 1) You have to reach way out to reach the handle to close the door. Would be better if the interior door handle was placed in the middle or more "forward" on the door. 2) The downhill assist works by light automatic application of the breaks. Had an old Ford F250 with downhill assist that worked via the automatic transmission - it prevented the transmission from upshifting. I think that is a better solution that would not overheat brakes on long downhill grades.3) As with most newer vehicles, no CD player built in. 4). LCD panel on radio has only two brightness settings, Night and Day. Night setting too bright.
Sweet truck
The first Nissan I ever owned,glad I upgraded to the PRO 4x. Got everything thing we need inside and it will go anywhere. Pull 16’ foot don’t even know it’s back there. Gas mileage average 19mpg. The only I don’t like is it seams harder to remove all the bugs from grill and front bumper.

2020 Nissan Frontier multiple problems
Biggest mistake I ever made was buying a new vehicle my 2007 Nissan Xterra was bulletproof compared to this sorry excuse for a manufactured truck. Lost oil pressure multiple times within first 5 months. Diff lock won't engage for low will not engage. Diff lock light flickers and blinks sometimes solid ABS system failed all within 18,000 MI. Lots of electrical issues as I accelerate light dim AC stops working rear differential started leaking first two months do not buy this new setup much better to buy used and throw a radiator at it
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
