Nissan Frontier is a great truck for the price

This is my first Nissan vehicle. I chose the Frontier because I wanted a smaller truck to commute with, after owning a Ford Ranger for 12 years. I've owned the Frontier for a few weeks now and am very satisfied with the comfort, mileage and dependability so far.

gvwr lowered

My concern is that Nissan lowered the gvwr as evidenced by the yellow sticker on the b pillar. The dealership cannot explain. Nor can Nissan. The truck is useless to me and the dealer, nor Nissan cares. Despite my ninth Nissan truck!

Sorry I ever bought this illconcieved pile of junk

This vehicle was obviously designed by theoretical physicists who take the bus to work every day. It makes too many decisions for the driver, resulting in a vehicle that the driver cannot control. The transmission barely functions, and I'm told it works as designed. The brakes are scary! I can't believe there are not multiple class action law suits on this rolling pile of scrap!

This is my second frontier

I like the size, crew cab has a lot of space inside the cab. Drives well in snow, I have a steep driveway. Back up camera is a nice feature added to standard equipment.

Small truck with right equipment

This is a small truck with a 6 cylinder and 4 wheel drive and a short box which is perfect for a retired tradesmen. The 4 doors mean I can drive four golfers to golf club destinations. I can also trailer up to 7000 lbs.

Best truck I every own

Exceptional ride in a mid size truck. Nice price level. Easy to get in and out with plenty of room to haul my four grandchildren. I really like that it doesn't have the touch screen and cvt transmission like my new Honda vehicle. I prefer the real transmission and quietness that it has. Hope to enjoy this truck for many years with the Frontier reliability reputation. O and by the way, it pays to shop around. I got an Awesome deal and saved $1400 by not buying local.??
