We have a limited number of reviews for the 2024 Frontier, so we've included reviews for other years of the Frontier since its last redesign.
Very capable vehicle.

2023 Nissan Frontier S 4dr King Cab 4WD 6.1 ft. SB (3.8L 6cyl 9A)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful
Traded in a 2011 Chevy Silverado Crew Cab since I didn't need a full size truck any more. The Frontier handles and rides very well for a pickup and the 3.8L engine has plenty of power, even if you have to wind it out a bit. I was a bit leery about the 9 speed tranny but it has worked fine with only a hint of rough shifting in very cold temperatures. Still, would've liked it if Nissan offered a manual. Gas mileage is pretty much what the EPA rating says. Not bad for a truck. Accessories I've added include a bed extender and a hard tonneau. Both were easy to put on. Only minor nits to pick. Some of the controls are in odd or random out of the way locations. Not a big deal; No vehicle is perfect. I've gotten used to it. Overall, a really nice truck. No problems whatsoever after 22000 miles.

Good looks, bad drive, worse fuel economy

I downsized from a 2020, 4 wheel drive 3.5 ecoboost F150 that was giving me all sorts of IWE problems. The Ford yielded much better fuel mileage than the Frontier. I drive very conservatively and hand calculate my fuel mileage. F150 averaged 20.5; Frontier 18.4. I struggle to get 400 miles out of the Frontier's 21.1 gallon tank. Out of the F150's 36 gallon, I was able to achieve 700+ miles with relative ease which was fantastic since I like to road-trip. I'm 6'5", so take this next part with a grain of salt: On the test drive of the Frontier, I found the seats to be relatively comfortable for a pickup truck. I quickly learned that on trips of over 150 miles, I need to invite my chiropractor along with me because my lower back is aching pretty good afterwards. I've tried adjusting the seat up and down, forward and backward as well as the manual adjustable lumbar (which is a joke at best) and I cannot get comfortable in this truck on longer drives. The truck looks cool, which is about its only redeeming quality. I do like how the LED headlights stay on when you activate the turn signal. Most manufactures have the headlight on the particular side your active the turn signal go off to make way for the turn signal usage itself. When the turn is complete, the turn signal goes off and the headlight comes back on. That drives me nuts but the Nissan Frontier is one of the only vehicles that doesn't do that. Good job Nissan. The interior layout is decent. I like the mix of old school analog and physical buttons meshed nicely with the touch screen. As for the wireless Apple Carplay: it connects when it wants to. When you desperately need it to display apple maps, of course it won't connect then. Another knock is the front window defrosters. In the wintertime, you'll need to have the truck warm up for about 15 minutes before you're able to either see anything or adequately scrape the window off of snow and ice. For a truck with an MSRP of $44,445, you'd think you'd get some heated seats, but you don't. Driving impressions: mostly good, sometimes terrifying. On the interstate with adaptive cruise, with the slightest incline, the transmission downshifts 3 gears, screams at 6000 RPM just to maintain speed/gain back the 2 MPH it initially loses. That can't be good for the drivetrain long-term. Also, around a corner with a bump at any speed over 20 MPH, if you hit said bump on a rear tire, the entire ass end of the truck kicks towards the outside of the turn ever so slightly Nissan also did a good job in the bed. DO NOT GET THE FACTORY SPRAY ON BEDLINER. It can easily peel off on brand new trucks. My truck didn't come with one. I paid the extra coin for LineX. The bed itself is very usable and not full of any unnecessary gimmicks like other manufacturers have. The tailgate doesn't always want to lock when you lock the truck. The physical key for the tailgate works every time, though. Now to the fun part: My 2023 Frontier with 1848 miles on it (at the time) wouldn't start when I was leaving work one Monday afternoon. The key fob unlocked the doors, I got in, pushed in the brake pedal, pushed the button and the dash lit up as normal, the fuel pump audibly cycled and the truck acted like it was on... but the engine never even attempted to turn over. Long story short, I had an awful customer experience with Nissan overall in terms of not letting me have a loaner vehicle for a brand new truck that wouldn't start. The dealership I bought it from did me good, but the one it was towed to initially (closest proximity to breakdown) raises my blood pressure just thinking about the situation... but this isn't a review about Nissan's questionable business practices... this is a review about the pickup truck, which I was without for a total of 9 days (without a loaner vehicle for 2 of those). The skinny of said issue was this: the truck somehow disconnected itself from the key fob for the starting mechanism. I was still able to lock and unlock the truck (remote start did not work either). Nissan replaced the TCU for it and reprogrammed it and the truck still didn't start for them. That dealership contacted the Nissan engineering team and they somehow had to reprogram things differently; then it worked! Overall: I do 100% regret this purchase. I will be trading the Frontier in within the next year of writing this review (7/28/2023) on either a Toyota or Subaru product

I can do with out telescope stirring my Subaru had it I never used it . The ride quality is excellent rides like a jaguar s-type heavy and smooth.. plus I’m reading some guy got a million miles out of his Nissan frontier and no rust .. didn’t think I would like the bolder gray I ended up loving it . Didn’t want heated seats or heated stirring wheel or sun roof or leather and saved a ton of money.. hot spray in bed liner.. and love that the tail gate power locks back slider window was a must . . Toyota is making junk anymore I’m disappointed with them plus there going to a 2,7 turbo won’t buy a turbo love the frontier has a 3.8 V6 310 hp and 281 tork this engine will last a life time ..

I can't say enough about this truck (and unfortunately it is ALL negative). This was a purchase for the wife after having a previous Frontier with a spate of problems. I'll just add this info and let it go. 1498 miles on a new 2024 Frontier, driven the night before with no issues, parked overnight and the wife tried to crank it the next morning. Instrument panel lit up like a Christmas Tree - oil pressure warning, AT (automatic transmission problem), keyfob problem, etc, etc. Will not start - will not do ANYTHING. Call dealership and have it towed to dealer (yet another pain in the butt experience). They check it - TRANSMISSION FAILURE as far as they know. They've never seen or heard of something like this (as info I'm writing this as protection on lemon law). If it FAILS with a major component at 1500 miles you can't convince me that this hunk of metal is not a lemon/dud. In a nutshell we're now fighting the dealer who has "since they care about customer service" offered us a purchase/replacement for an ADDITIONAL $3500. Let's add insult to injury - tell me its $3500 for 1498 miles, try to coat crap with gold and try to convince me to have ANY confidence in the (pending repair) vehicle. We're at a loss on this and this may be one in a million (wouldn't that qualify right out of the gate as a LEMON) and investigating what "rights" we don't seem to have, etc. My answer is biased but I'd assert BUYER BEWARE on these from my personal experience.
