Almost perfect

By SportsterDoc written on 07-14-2016

This is 4 wheel vehicle #33 (+12 motorcycles). Last truck was 2009 Toyota Tacoma standard cab 4WD (good truck). Last full size truck was Dodge Ram 1500 standard cab 2WD 5.7 hemi (great acceleration). Typical commute to ranch is 220 miles, but last 8 miles are rocky road and last 3/4 mile is Jeep trail. Wife and I are EXTREMELY satisfied. Mileage from west end of Glacier National Park to east end and return was 23.73! Mileage from Las Vegas Valley to Waterton Lakes National Park, Alberta, Canada and back was 20.56, which included substantial 80 MPH speed limits. Around town mileage is rated 15 MPG and that is what we get, if only town (not typical). Combined is about 17.5 MPG. Low RPM torque is excellent. Pulls grades on I40, east of Kingman, AZ mainly in 5th gear at 75 MPH. Wish bed light had auto/on/off switch instead of auto with any door opening. Turning radius is not the best, but no worse than wife's former 2004 GMC Sonoma crew cab 4WD. Wife likes (a) 8 cup holders, (b) upper and lower glove box, (c) wide door pockets and (d) comfortable ride, although it does sidestep around curves over bumps, due to higher profile tires (which we like for going over rocks). In addition to torque/acceleration, I like under rear seat storage for tools, tow strap, jumper cables, tie downs, etc and room behind back seat for jacket, thin backpack, as well as factory jack and tire tools. Instruments do not need an operation manual to quickly understand. Battery and air filter easy to access. 10" ground clearance on 4WD. Other than a new 92 Nissan Sentra GXE, my only other Nissan was a new 1973 Datsun PL620 P/U. In 1982 I put a Chevrolet 350 V-8 in it with a 500 CFM Carter AFB on an SP2P Edlebrock manifold, hooker headers, dual exhausts, Chevrolet turbo350 auto trans and a shortened/resplined 2.92:1 differential (for traction). This factory Frontier is almost as much fun!...and it has 4WD and air conditioning. At 20 months and 34,000 miles we remain extremely satisfied. - SportsterDoc

A 6 time Nissan owner not disappointed

By David written on 04-18-2016

To further update my Frontier... Still going strong. I took it to Washington in the Cascade Mtns during a snow storm. It was a little squirrelly to drive. While I was thrre, I purchased new tire chains for my semi truck, so I put about 400 lbs in the bed. Not sure footed, but not squirrelly either. A set of tire cables did the trick. Not very happy with the paint quality, despite wax and polish, a stiff breeze scratches it. The truck is definitely not lacking in power, and has straight up beaten my Siverado in straight line acceleration. The odd thing is, they both average 21 mpg. Silverado: 8 cylinders, 5.3 liter, 4wd, crew cab, mostly highway driving. Frontier: 6 cylinders, 4 liter, rwd, Desert Runner crew cab, with 30/70 city/highway driving. I have been told that the rear seat is very uncomfortable to sit in, and both people likened the seat to a folding chair. My wife says it rides like a buckboard, and runs like her Maxima. She actually will drive it, where as "The Behemoth" (her pet name for my Silverado) She will not drive. As a happy Nissan customer for years, I will be buying another in the future. Been eyeing the new XD. I'm a pretty big guy. 6'4/ 260 lbs. I traded up for my 2009 king cab 2.4 liter manual transmission. Got the price I wanted. I was able to find a Desert Runner, in Silver with the hokey decals already removed. Maybe I'm used to semi truck brakes, but I have no trouble stopping my Frontier. I expect the audio system to go first. My wife's second Maxima is the only one (out of six) that didn't fail. I question Nissan's Interior color choices, and the materials seem flimsy, but they are very durable. If you want fluff and gadgetry, look elsewhere. If you want a solid, well made, Reliable and durable car, buy a Nissan. I have owned Nissan since 1987, All went 120k miles problem free and I know two of the six are still being driven by our children. I currently own two Chevrolets that I can't say the same about. Can't buy a comparable well made vehicle for the same price.

Best Buy in class

By Paul written on 07-24-2016

Tried out Tacoma (did not like ride and vis ability), Colorado. Liked Frontier best of all three at about 5K less money. Fuel economy was a concern. However, first two fill-ups 19 plus mpg...I'm happy.

Bookkeepper One

By Don Funk written on 08-07-2016

Several packages over and above Std Crew Cab with 5 foot bed. Head restraints on back seats block 2/3rds of rearview mirror. I removed the head restraints to have full view of rear of truck. GPS/Navigation comes as a premium. You can have GPS with custom mount for a lot less money and viewing the GPS is just off your right side of the steering wheel at the 2 o'clock position. I have used my TomTom 5/7" on the last 4 Nissan Frontier Trucks with the same custom mount to the dashboard through the top vent of the left A/C vent. The custom mount goes with me on each sale. V6 Engine provides plenty of power when needed on the highway or on a city street. I purchased separately a custom bed cover which enhances the gas mileage about 3% and completes the trim of the back of the truck. Also keeps the storage area dry. The bed extender attached to the inside of the bed with side & floor tracks with cleats has always been a must for the truck bed. I am 6'4" the Frontier offers plenty of leg room and head room. So look over the various features and comfort packages to get what you need.

My new Hammer!

By Howard Smith written on 05-26-2016

This is my seventh Nissan Frontier and they are the hardest working little trucks you can buy. Although it is a good-looking truck ,they are rugged hard-working little trucks too. I work in construction and use mine for hauling drywall, tools and trailers every day. With a half ton payload and 6000 pounds hauling capability I regularly carry large load up and down the hills of West Virginia! I have been pleased with every truck I have owned from Nissan clear back when they were still Datsun trucks. I normally put 25 to 35,000 miles a year on these trucks and they require very little maintenance and hold up well to my abuse! I use mine as a tool - and I love my new hammer! Two years and 51,000 miles later and still very very happy with my frontier. Couple scratches and a dent or two as its a work truck,but reliable and dependable every day. I haul my 20 ft trailer with a compact end loader backhoe on it with ease regularly. Not just on flatland but here in the mountains of WVa ! With ease. That speaks volumes. Love,love,love my Frontier.
