Great bed attachment system

Used for moving friend yesterday. Worked perfectly. Tie downs are nice. Headrest is a problem. Tilts my head too far forward. I will have to address this problem when it stops raining today.

Beautiful Blend of Style and Function

Truck is stylish inside and out. Very nice with Bluetooth and USB access. Comfortable seating and climate control. Hauls nice payload also. I am looking forward to the 4WD feature off road, on the beach and in the woods.

Looks like a truck, plus performance & value

Love my 2018 Nissan Frontier Desert Runner V6 King Cab. Lots of torque and hp in the peppy V6. Excellent view of the road. Looks like a truck-- not a jelly bean. Great value compared to Toyota. At 71, this is my 5th new vehicle, all good (Olds, 2 Chevys, Cadillac), but this is the best.

Very dependable and stylish

Just bought it brand new and loving it !! Not only is it stylish it?s also made for comfort and handles very good considering it?s a four wheel drive.

Quality Midsize Truck

The Frontier is a comfortable and well-designed pickup. The interior has a nice fit and finish to it but it is not quite as modern-appearing as some of its competition. Regardless of that, it offers everything I want and need in a daily-commute vehicle, and the 6-ft bed provides enough cargo space that I can transport practically everything that I need to. This site forced me to choose a reliability rating. I have not owned the vehicle long enough to be able to give a meaningful review of its reliability. Since Nissan has been manufacturing Frontiers for decades, I selected Excellent. I hope that will be the case for me.

Clutch part went out, and left me stranded.

Truck would not start at 10,000 miles, and left me stranded. They said I was pushing down too hard on the clutch. Owned sticks for 47 years with no problem

Exactly what I wanted, doesn't look like a Transfo

Great value on a well built truck. Got the SVi4 from Busam in Cincinnati Ohio. Remote keyless entry, power windows, aluminum rims, voice control bluetooth radio with XM, and cruise control. So far 25 mpg combined. Easily added hitch with 6 bolts, frame has weldnuts already on it. Wiring harness is factory installed and able to be added with ease. Foglight harness is also preinstalled. Very happy with this true midsize truck. They say it's an old design, ok maybe, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. Also it doesn't look like one of the Transformers! Lots of accessories available due to the long run of this model.

Best small truck on the road. Period.

For the money the Nissan Frontier is the best truck on the market. Reliable, great in the snow, looks great and very versatile. Hauls people or material. Extremely reliable.

Still breaking it in

Just purchased the car two weeks ago and am still getting used to it but the fuel economy and the ease of access to all dashboard controls is a very nice feature. It handles very well and ha good acelleration on the interstate.
