First 4 wheel drive vehicle owned and it seems fin

Good value so far. It has performed well in 4 wheel drive on the few snow and ice roads that I have driven in 4 wheel drive.

Not too bad at all

Gets the job done, I have no complaints at all (only a couple weeks in). Its not a Cadillac, its not a luxury truck. IT IS A TRUCK that works for my home.

Loved this truck. It met all my towing needs

Easily towed my camping trailer. Quiet and comfortable ride. Sad when it was totaled in crash. Bought a 2017 Frontier to replace it. A perfect midsized truck for our needs.

Love it, however.........

All was great until within the first yr rear pinion seal started leaking and two yrs after, axle seal started. I've put all the miles on this truck that it currently has. It only had four miles on it when I got it. I've had this truck for three yrs now and I'm a bit confused as to why I'm having leakage especially when the heaviest thing I pull is my riding lawn mower that's less than 100lbs. I use this truck has my daily driver. No off roading, no pulling heavy equipment, no heavy wait in the bed (bed stays empty except kids book bags or grocery's for the house), no playing or jumping in the bed. When driving for a while the rear end smells like it's getting hot, when I stop you can smell the oil from it. From the vent tube you can see a bit of oil there. I keep taking it to my dealership but I keep getting told there's nothing wrong.

FOUND A PRETTY GOOD DEAL

Was looking for 9-months to find a truck with a 6' bed, back-up camera, hands free driving (phone), grey in color, and something with low miles. We picked up a 2016 Nissan Frontier with 40k miles for $23,000.00. I think we got a pretty good deal. Although I was looking for something with leather and a bed topper, I feel this deal fell into our laps. Thanks Courtesy Auto-mall for your services!

Second frontier I’ve owned.

This is my second Frontier. The first one was a 2008 with 150k when I traded it for my current 2016. I have put both trucks through their paces both on and off road and they have done very well. The only problems with my 2008 was constantly going through EVAP sensors and the TPMS system was a pain, but otherwise nothing unusual. The 2016 has been great! Only a rear tranny seal has leaked. If you want a reliable mid sized four wheel drive truck, this one will do it for you. I’ve hauled many 1000lb loads of firewood and stone dust. I love the tie down system in the back bed and use it all the time. The interior is user friendly and comfy. If I had to complain? Getting in and out of the drivers door is a bit tight for someone 6ft tall. The fuel mileage is a bit on the low side for a mid size.

Excellent value, reliability and comfort.

Very solid truck, dependable and durable. Comfortable ride, handles well and good body style. Interior well designed with several USB ports and back up camera. The slide and lock cargo restraint system is ingenious.
