I love the interior : basic and stylish. It has just enough amenities, such as Sirius XM and heated seats. I haven't driven a truck in several years but the transition to my Frontier was very easy!

We will keep this truck until the wheels fall off.

My wife and I love off road adventures. We bought this truck based on reviews addressing the off road capabilities, experiences of friends, and the fact that we both found it comfortable, ascetically pleasing, and fun to drive. We have found it to be sure footed, and a blast to take up in the mountains, and super competent in the sand.

Basic Frontier S is cheap and uncomfortable

Nissan Frontier S is very basic. At this time the only reason for such a basic truck is corporate greed. Ridiculous. Adding minor technological advances would double sales.

Most comfortable cab

This is a basic truck but meets the needs without a high price tag. The cab is spacious and very comfortable to drive. Instrument gauges are easy to see and utilize.

Good ride

The nissan frontier is a really cute truck! I enjoy the smooth ride. The seats are comfortable..front is roomy gas mileage isn't too bad but the power is a little sluggish when pushing the gas to go fast. That's ok with me cause I drive a bit slow anyways. I feel I got a good deal as I could not afford the f150. If your looking for a smaller size pick up that is good looking and reasonably priced this ones for you! Just bought it so can't say how dependable it is but I'm sure it will do great!

Newest Old School Truck You Can Buy

I bought a 2017 SV Crew Cab 4WD a few months ago and so far I love it. It's funny, you see all these reviews by the pros talking about the lack of tech on the Frontier and how it hasn't had a major refresh since 2005. But, that's just it, it's a truck. Trucks are meant to haul stuff, take it on the dirt, have fun with it. Today, everyone talks about what sort of tech you can get in a truck, they think trucks are like Caddy's these days. Overall, I love the v6 but hate the mpg. We had a minor snow storm recently and I was able to plow through snow covered roads with 4 High with ease, almost as good as a Wrangler. The Frontier does have value, it does have some nice features like cruise, power everything, backup camera, sliding rear door, etc. In some ways it reminds of of the Tacoma, but it does feel taller when you sit inside and honestly its a bit more powerful off the line than the Taco.

nice pickup

I've never owned a pickup truck before so I am please with all the features and the performance of this truck. The bed is small but just right for any needs I have.
