Great small truck with the perfect space

This truck is all you need with aux cord, USB, and touch screen it's got all your entertainment needs. On the highway it's smooth although I think the gas tank should be bigger as it drinks gas more than it should while on the highway.

Never owned a truck before

I've been wanting a truck for a long time but didn't want something along the lines of a Chevy Tahoe or Ford. This truck is the right size for me and the V6 has plenty of power. It can easily pull my boat.

My 4th Frontier

This is my 4th Frontier all were trading in with over 100000 miles on them with no major problems. I routinely changed engine and transmission oil and never had any major problems. All were used off road 15%, towed a 3000 lbs boat trailer routinely.

We know the quality of the Nissan Frontier.

This is our third Nissan Frontier . We value this vehicles' quality. We like the way it handles, the durability, and the visual appearance. The only reason retreaded I frontie we like the way it handles, the durability, and the visual appearance. We traded for another Nissan Frontier because we needed to pull a camper.

Good Solid Truck

Good truck for me; just wish the sound system was a better. Got the SV with NISMO edition looks like I may need to swap out my tires because they slip in the rain. Nice grip in dry weather.

Very uncomfortable on long trips

Suspension is not good . I feel every bump in the road. Not comfortable for travel and we purchased it for camping. Could be a good work vehicle.

Good, solid, reliable pick 'em up truck

I love my 2016 Nissan Frontier Desert Runner pick up. Is it the most refined, comfortable, luxury loaded truck... NO. But it does everything I ask it to do, looks good and is fun to drive. I previously had a 2001 Nissan Frontier that I put 130,000 trouble free miles on.

The Best I ever owned

The frontier is tough, reliable, a pleasure to drive. Extremely well designed with good looks too. In my forty seven years of driving and the numerous trucks I have owned along the way, I have to say with all honesty that the Frontier is my favorite.
