Wonderful truck

This truck not only rides smooth, but is quiet and comfortable. It has a lot of power for a six cylinder engine, and room enough to satisfy my two tall teenage boys in the back!

great truck great price

it is the perfect fit for people who are short, can fit comfortably and see over dash, very important for short people. I don't feel like I am driving a truck, feels like a luxuary car.

Reliable

Meets the needs for my family. We needed a truck as well for our area for winters this was perfect with four wheel drive. Size of truck perfect for me as my husband drives a two ton and that I can't handle.

Sharp Truck

I decided to replace my full sized truck with this Nissan Frontier pickup. It is comfortable, nice ride to it and plenty of room for the wife and I. Would like it to have had GPS navigation built into the radio, but this SV model didn't have it. Other than that .... Nice Truck and has a 6yr 100,000 bumper to bumper warranty.

Great Traction Control, great truck.

I've spent years driving on some of the harshest climates, Baffin Island to Arizona, so I know my harsh driving. The frontier is a joy to own, It feels solid predictable and safe in the dead of winter. The TC and SC are fantastic. Its simple inside, but comfortable, nothing has broken. Its poor on gas, the seats seem to have broken in a little fast, but not in an uncomfortable way. The gas consumption I don't mind because it takes me places an 'economical' car would not. a tool not used is a wasted tool.

Ignore the Critics. This is a Good Truck

We have the 4.l V6 2WD King cab. The seats are comfortable, the ride is good, the cabin is quiet. It accelerates effortlessly, and gets better mileage than advertised. Straight highway up to 24.8 mpg, mixed around 20-21. In severe cold (zero to freezing) it gets 17.5-19 mpg. It cost a lot less than other trucks and it fits in the garage. Hauls everything we need it too.

Great used purchase from the great folks at Crain

This truck meets our needs as a second vehicle. Prefer driving a KIA but they do not have KIA trucks. Have owned Nissan trucks before & make a good 2nd vehicle

first truck ive owned

this truck had a lot more power than i was thinking it would. I wish it got better gas mileage and had a little more room in the back for seating.
