Ok so far.

Nice looking truck. Two door, not much room in the rear due to small seats, ok for kids. I am an average size man so the Interior is ok but a tinge cramped for my style. A little slow on the acceleration and I get a high pitched noise that sounds kinda like a fly only when I reach 80 mpg. Turn raidious just ok. It has been extremely helpful for moving furniture and large Items! Over all I like this truck so far.

This truck meets all of my needs.

Excellent mid-size truck. Meets all of needs. Hopefully thise Frontier will be as reliable as the Xterra that I traded in. I see no reason why it wouldn't be. In my opinion the value for a mid-size truck on the market, bar none.

Solid truck & drives & handles GREAT!!

Bought used at $19900 which was a good price with only 17960 miles. This is the SV V6 RWD & combined mpg is 20. Really do enjoy it & trust it will give MANY years of support. For a midsize truck it's the best BANG for the buck!!

My second Nissan Frontier first one was a 2006

Has more cabin room than Toyota Tacoma and more responsiveness. Seating is Also more comfortable . Better bed tie downs included with the frontier . Smoother ride .

So far so good!

I’ve always had Toyotas , but the new Tacoma engine and transmission seemed weak and not very powerful, always hunting for gears. I bought my 2019 Frontier Pro 4x from Jim Johnson Nissan in Bowling Green, Ky...and so far am very pleased. The seats could be more comfortable on a road trip but other than that, it’s been just what I wanted in a mid size. Gas mileage is around 19 combined. Plenty of power and fun to drive.

MY THIRD FRONTIER

Shopping for a new truck back in 2001 I chose a Frontier because it was the best value in the market. I purchased a new crew cab Desert Runner in 2015 because the previous was so reliable. Now own a 2018 Midnight Edition because I thought it was the best looking in the market, and still the best value for your dollar out there. Can't understand complaints about being an old design, "if it aint broke, don't fix it". Yes some competitors now have a more modern look, but they all look alike and are trying to look like the Transformer cartoons. My Nissan still looks like a truck and performs fine plus one of the most reliable products made in U.S.A.

Very Reliable little truck

This truck is a very nice. I have a 2018 Nissan frontier Pro 4x. I could not be more happy with it. I have put 13,000 miles on it and have only had one problem. The only problem is whenever it gets cold the sensor reads that the gas cap is loose but beside that it has been great. It menuevers very nicely and has very nice acceleration.Also this truck get a better mpg then its says I get around 18.5 and I am a pretty relaxed driver. This is a good old truck for people not looking for all the bells and whistles.

Not sure yet.

I bought it used two months ago with 29k miles from Enterprise. It has a nice look which in my opinion is better than most of its midsize competitors. I paid $20,700 for this Cayenne Red 2018 Nissan Frontier SV Crew Cab. It sit high with good visibility over the hood, with a decent ride, and front seat passengers are comfortable. Front seats only adjust back and fort and recline (no up or down adjustment) Family members who have sat in the back stated they wouldn't want to drive more than an hour or two back there. It has a 4.0 V-6 and my biggest complaint is engine vibration. This vehicle replaced a 2010 Hyundai Sante Fe with 150k miles on it. The transmission is much better than the Hyundai but I still like the 3.5 V-6 on the Hyundai better. I took it in to Auto Nation of Lewisville, TX to get this complaint addressed. They fixed the issue with the coolant fan vibration at idle but with a cold start part of the dash vibrates really loud and is extremely annoying for the first 3 or 4 minutes of driving. It goes away once the motor warms up but it's still really loud and annoying. This vibration is so bad it genuinely gives me a case of buyers remorse. I owned a 1986 Nissan Pickup and a 1991 Nissan Sentra SER and both of them had much better engines vibration wise. If you buy one, expect a lot of cheap plastic materials, a decent backup camera, a real key and fob, a decent stereo, seats that appear to be okay but aren't very supportive, and just an overall feeling of unease for overall build quality. I'm just not sure what I bought quality-wise. My other two Nissans were built in Japan and this one, I believe, was built in Mississippi. I want to like it but I'm just not sure if I should have bought a Tacoma or a Colorado instead. I drive it easy and have been averaging 16.5 mpg city per tankful vs the 15.0 EPA rating.

2015 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x

We bought this brand new in early 2016, no complaints. It is small in stature but feels like a big truck. I love how high it sits and I still have no problem getting in or out. we plan to keep this for many, many years. We chose the king cab in white and love the way it looks. Great little truck.
