Great mid-size truck.

Great mid-size truck. We bought it in November 2022. I had to replace the throttle positioning sensor and that is all. 4.0 auto 5 speeds. It woud do a better if 6 speed, but I still get 19-20 mpg if I baby it. The 6 cylinder has good power at over 260hp. I recommend the frontier. My son has a 4 cyl 1997 hardbody now for 12+ years. Both trucks are great.

Great Ergonomic Design

A most excellent truck for pulling an aluminum fishing boat. Keep your auto transmission fluid changed. I bought a used 2017 S with a 4 cylinder.

Bought a Frontier

Found what I was looking for for what I was willing to pay for it. Love the vehicle. Low mileage. Few bells and whistles. What I was hoping to get.

Best little truck to own

Great truck..... Rides great and has plenty of room if you don't require a full size. It's average when it comes to fuel miles. I purchased a 4 cyd and haven't test to pull ratio yet.

My 1st truck is a Frontier!

I am blown away at the value I get with my new preowned 2017 Nissan Frontier crew cab SV 4x4. I have a back up camera, dual climate control, utility track system, bed liner, tow package, 4.0 v6 with 36,000 miles, and I got it all for under $24k. I passed on a 2016 Tacoma with the same mileage, and less features (no tow package, or all wheel drive) for 27k, so Im glad I picked what was valuable. Toyota has a right to sell for a higher price since theyre on fire right now and are the largest foreign seller in the US and largest manufacturer in the world. But with economic hardship rearing its head as early as 2018, and being compounded by foolish central planning in the wake of a pandemic, only a fool would get into a truck with a $700, or $800 monthly payment. Thanks for giving us so much value, Nissan!

It was exactly what we were looking for!

Love it. Easy to drive, smooth ride, not much road noise! Gas mileage seems to be good. It will be well used when going to the beach!!

So far good power with V6 and nice looking

Nice looking but not real fancy, more affordable than some, good power and acceleration. good room with the crew cab. Overall a good midsize truck that i hope performs with the V6 engine.
