Great Truck for the Money!!

I had previously owned a Nissan product so I knew about Nissan reliability. I test drove 3 other comparable car makers products before deciding on the Nissan Frontier. While some of the others had a few more bells and whistles, I did not need these and for a basic, well-equipped vehicle with really good electronics, roominess, power, and a good sized bed for chores and hauling. For the vehicle I got, the pricing was superior to what the other makers were offering. It was not a hard decision.

Cant go wrong with a Frontier

I just bought a 2018 Midnight edition a few weeks ago to replace my 2010 crew cab 4X4 with 185000 on it. The 2010 never even had a breakdown in all that time. The reality is this truck has no direct competition for the money. I wish Ford or Chevy made a truck this size, this reliable and this inexpensive but they dont.

Nice truck with plenty of strength for its size!

I got a 4 door Frontier SV with a 4.0 V-6. Love the size and power. Very roomy up front, but an adult would not enjoy a long trip in the back seat. Perfect for my grandkids.

Comfort & style of a car, but its a truck!

Great truck! Fun to drive. Crew cab provides lots of room. Has everything I need. Its has the comfort of a car, and the functionality you get from a truck

Best in class for the money

I didn't want a full size pickup....just to big. This truck has everything you would want in a truck of its size. You would pay up to 15,000 more in a full size for the same thing.

A functional truck

I purchased the Frontier SV King Cab this week and am thoroughly enjoying it. The price was right and the Value Pkg added some nice features. The front seats are comfortable and the layout simple and straightforward. The cab has a lot of plastic which scuffs easily and the radio is so so. Apart from that it's a nice truck. I would have liked to get the navigation system but that only comes in Crew cab and the more expensive models. I'm 6 ft. and can easily get into the seat. A short person may need nerf bars or running boards but the size of the truck is perfect IMO. Parking is less of a problem than the larger trucks. The v6 provides ample power. I own a Ford Ranger and the Frontier is quite a bit larger than the Ford. Overall a nice truck for the money.

One of the best Nissans I have ever owned!

I love my Coggin Nissan Frontier, it handles great, acts like big truck and/or like an all terrain vehicle but has the comfort of a luxury vehicle.

2018 Frontier

After seeing the Midnight Edition at the auto show...I knew it was time to upgrade from my 2011 Frontier.. I found the Gunmetal Grey at my local dealer...drove it..about 30 minutes later..I bought it. The 2018 seems to have more power, a sharper turning ratio, a much better ride and stability with a smoother acting transmission. The styling has changed very little since 2005...same for the interior. I do have the back camera with the sonar type warning sensors. The dual control a/c system is nice too. I really do like the drivability etc about this truck...and drove my last one fro 2011 fo 2018...only part failure was a fan clutch Last year...warranty covered it.
