It's a noise maker

If I could do it over I wouldn't purchase this truck again. I would definitely pay the extra and get a Toyota. This truck makes a new noise every week and I'm always told it's just "Nissan noises" This truck also sits really low none of them look 4x4. I wouldn't say it's stylish its more like a truck a little old man would drive.

Awesome Truck

I got the v6, 4.0 liter SE with a bed extender. Such a great truck for everything. Easy city mpg as well!

Autocars LTD easy to work with

I just purchased a 2008 Nissan Frontier from Autocars LTD in La Puente. These guys did a great job winning our business. I would highly recommend them

All I Need and More!

This 2008 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab 4X4 is the first Nissan that I have owned as I have mainly driven Toyotas in the past. After driving the Frontier it was love at first ride and I have to say that my first 6 months with the vehicle have been excellent. The crew cab has plenty of room in the rear to comfortably seat an adult so there is more than enough room for the kids. The towing ability on this truck is fantastic as well. I barely feel it when pulling a fully loaded utility trailer. If there was anything that I would like to see improved it would be the gas mileage. It also takes a while to get used to the wider turning radius. Then again, it's a truck that does everything I need it to do and more so to me these are small issues.

3rd review at 42,000 miles and 4.5 years of owning

Still a great truck after 4.5 years of ownership 42,000 m iles of use. Turning radius is poor, center console is too far back for armrest function if seat is pulled forward. Avgering 23 mpg with 66% highway and 33% city driving. I am 6 feet 1 inch tall and have adequate leg and headroom but anyone taller may feel cramped. Very Happy with my truck.

Nissen Frontier LE 2008

With the exception of gas mileage on the V6, am very impressed with the truck. The jump seats on the King Cab are essentially useless, should have an option to delete and just have flat space behind front seats. Ride is good and seats are comfortable.

Really nice truck

I've done my homework and I've owned both Toyota's and Nissan's. for the money and styling I went with the Frontier. I saved thousands, especially with the options added. I know both trucks are reliable from experience and after paying this frontier off i will get a tacoma!
