My Frontier

It is very drivable, handles well and has a decent ride for a 4x4 PU handles snow like a champ. Solid build with a solid feel and sound when doors close My only complaint is I wish it had a bit better gas mileage.

3 years usage

Nice truck. No frills and does what I need it to do. Weighted in winter with sandbags and I've made it thru at least 6 snowstorms of 10 inches or more without incident. Only negative is the engine light comes on every year when the temp goes below 20 degrees and goes off every March when the temps stay in the 50s.

Review of this vehicle is I had to repair the air condition and it wasn’t cheap. I try to get the dealer to repair the knock and will not fix it even though it still had warranty.

Within the first 3 years the engine when knock when first start up it take about 10. Minute to. Stop and it still don’t stop completely also air condition leake out the Freon it don’t cool until I put Freon it cool for a while then stop cooling . It had an evaporator leake also the compressor is now leaking.

Love my truck!

This truck is small but mighty! It is tall enough to allow good visibility, has ample power for acceleration, and handles well in all types of conditions (mine is 4 wheel drive). Super fun to drive! I have the 4 door model, which offers more back seat leg room than my husbands F250, 2 large dogs fit comfortably in the back seat. This model is pretty low-tech, ie no Blue tooth, back up cameras, etc, which is not an issue for me but may be for others. One thing I would add would be heated mirrors, otherwise perfect!

Small but Strong

My 2012 Frontier is all the truck I need. Would have given 5 stars, but fuel economy only average. V6 4X took through some rough off-road deer scouting. Small enough for old logging trails yet big enough for two ladderstands and all my other ewuipment. Great truck.

2012 Nissan Frontier

Great little truck. No problems yet. Very reliable, economical transportation. Bluetooth hooks up to my phone flawlessly and makes calls received a safe proposition. Paint holding up well in desert sun. Gas mileage just improved as truck went over 85,000 miles. Guess the engine is broken in now! Great value in a truck.

Best mid size truck

I have owned two Nissan Frontiers. They are perfect if you don't need a full size truck or have room for one in your garage. Love the torque at almost 300 ft. lbs. I pulled a 27ft.travel trailer and it handled it like a dream and still got 13 mpg on the interstate at 65 & 70 mph.my current Frontier is a 2012 and now have 87,000 mile on it with no problems at all.

My second Nissan Truck

The Frontier is the perfect size horsepower and torque for a mid size truck. All the other manufactures are now trying to get a truck this size to compete. Chevrolet has redone the Colorado and Ford is coming out with the new Ranger to compete also. I have pulled a 28 ft. travel trailer with mine and was more than pleased. It has plenty of power from the 4.0 motor along with a great pulling transmission. I will buy another one for my next truck. Not to mention I have had NO problems. I just have them service like the book says and keep on driving. LOVE THIS TRUCK!!
