Got this v6 Frontier Desert Runner new in 2001.
Got this v6 Frontier Desert Runner new in 2001. Have changed all fluids on schedule. Had to add one can of Freon to AC last year. Replaced stereo speakers ten years ago. Installed new shocks. All original hoses, Runs great. Everything still works, including the original sound system. I wouldn’t hesitate to drive this truck coast to coast. Not bad for a 24 year old truck.

My First Car
I have had this car since I was 16. I am 31 now It was my first car I ever owned. I love it so much I refuse to get rid of it. The car is very low maintenance and easy to work on and find parts for. The seats are so comfortable. I did have to install an after market alarm system on it. That is my only negative that it didn't come with an alarm system. The car is working fine for the most part with it. Only had to fix the alarm 3 times in 12 years. It speeds up quickly when needed. Really great on gas mileage compared to a lot of other cars my fiancee had owned. I did have a cracked manifold at one time, but that was my fault for driving with the E brake on a few times. I have only had to do non normal maintenance on it 5 times in the 16 years I have had it. Have 110,000 miles on it currently. So I am not talking about changing oil or brakes etc. as abnormal maintenance. I have only had to change the battery twice. I have only had to jump my car twice and that was due to needing a new battery because it was time for a new one. The braking system is amazing because I have had to slam on my brakes q few times due to animals or crazy drivers not paying attention. Onlu one previous owner before me. I do have to use sandbags in the winter sometimes to prevent fish tailing and hydroplaning, but I would recommend this vehicle to anyone.

Solid mid sized truck
Easy to maintain by owner and very comfortable. Well designed for longevity and dependability. I bought my 01 crew cab for 1500 bucks with 235k miles on it and immediately did the timing belt and water pump in it. Never having owned a nissan before, i was kind of anxious about doing the job but once i googled it and actually looked at what need to be removed, it was very easy to work on. I didn't even have to remove the radiator! The truck feels like a full size when driving it. Mine is 2wd and is as tall as my son's jeep with a 3" lift so its a good height on the road. The wind noise is a lot less then my previous gmc sonoma and chevy s10 and the seats are way more comfortable. The engine is quiet and the transmission is solid and shifts smoothly. Having had fords, chevies, isuzus, and jeep trucks and suvs, i am very impressed with this solid well built truck. I can see it will last a long time amd parts are cheap when anything needs repair. My friend has an 01 also, which helped me feel good about buying this with the mileage. His first nissan truck had 500k miles when he bought his 01 frontier brand new. He still has the 01 and its got 385k miles and he drives back and forth to mississippi from south, south texas.
