Best little truck I've ever owned.
by EdRudd from Fallbrook, Ca. on Thu Jan 12 2017
I bought my 98 truck used in 2000 with 18,000 miles on it It now has 149,800 miles. It's a 5 speed 4wd, extra cab. I pulled it 4 wheels down behind a motor home for 40,000 miles with no problems. Only mechanical problem so far has been to replace the exhaust manifold/header at 47,923 miles and the alternator right at 149,000 miles. 3 Grandchildren have filled the bed with all needed supplies and driven across country to the College of their choice. I now use the truck as my ranch truck where the 4 wheel drive is handy and the trucks ability to haul a bed full of rock up and down hills easily. Wash and a little wax and it shows as new. Other then normal maintenance this truck is tough. My next truck will be a Nissan.

I bought this truck with 130,000 milles on it. Mines a regular cab with a standard tranny. Had no problems at all. Only changed oil, radiator fluid and power stearing fluid since. All recomended servics.

200,000 miles and hoping to add LOTS more.
by Sittin Pretty on Fri May 11 2018
Traded in a 88 Jeep for this gem, way back when and had to pay for it at a parking lot sale, my goof. 2 wd, 5 speed SE. Has 200,000 miles and hoping for more. The dash electric messed up about 190,000. We have been back and forth to Colorado and Iowa several times from CA. Needs body work, again some my fault, some salt on icy roads. Too many rattles, but fixable. I like it in all ways, certainly handles all I need as a single lady.

I had a great time driving this truck. Also my buying experience at Dwayne Lanes North Cascade Ford from Shane Steward and the whole sales team made it very comfortable and exciting.

Most Reliable Car I've Owned (I'm not kidding)
by Nissan Rocks from Austin, TX on Thu Jul 10 2008
I bought the vehicle five years ago when it had 68000 miles. Now it has 167000 and I haven't had any problems. So far I change the factory battery, oil changes, and spark plugs. That's it! Great truck.

The only real problem has been that all first generation frontiers have the instrument cluster go out. No factory or aftermarket replacements available. And junkyard ones are made of unobtanium. Fortunately there are place online that repair them for about $100.

Used as a work truck and still runs good. I am usually pretty tough on my pickups, after all thats why I buy them. It has held up great!

Truck looks new and its 8 years old!!
by Shifter from Phoenix, Arizona on Sat Oct 14 2006
Nissan holds a great resale value. I have not had any major repairs done to my truck. Oil change, tune up , belts, tires etc... But I have 98,000 miles. My last nissan pickup had 225,000 miles on it when I traded it in, and I was still using it everyday. Looking forward to trying the full size truck, this was a little crowded/close between driver and passenger. Overall 2nd best truck I've ever owned 4 1/2 stars for me.

When it comes to trucks, size matters.
I'm talking about not only the size of the truck, but the size of the price on the window sticker.
Buyers don't seem to mind dropping 30 large on a fully loaded Ford F-150 Lariat, Dodge Ram or Chevy Silverado.
But they balk when asked to pay a lot for a small truck. Nissan's truck sales are down nearly 50 percent this model year.
I can't find fault with the new Nissan Frontier. The Japanese automaker has done a superb job updating its small truck, one of the longest-running series of vehicles on the market. (Until the current generation was named Frontier, Nissan's truck didn't have a name.)
But after comparing what you get on the Nissan Frontier XE... Read More
