2005 Nissan Frontier Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I bought my 2005 Nissan Frontier 2WD Nismo 3 weeks ago and have loved every minute of it. The trim is a bit basic, but that's why I bought a truck. The throttle response is great and the cabin size works perfectly for this family of 4. I couldn't ask for a better vehicle for the money.

Nissan made all the right choices when they redesigned the Frontier for 2005 ... Comfort, Styling, Performance, Power and Reliability are all included. Read my "Pros" and "Cons" for my honest opinions about the quality, performance and reliability of this vehicle.

Got the truck for its towing ability & only occasional off-road use --I'm satisfied with the overall package, but not too thrilled with the body lean towing a motorcycle trailer through the mountains. Otherwise: solid "A" grade on an overall scale.

This truck is very well built, it has excellent power much more than any stock tacoma or ranger. It drives like a dream and has never given any trouble what so ever however, it only gets 17 mpg and has a horrible turning radius.

Drives the best of all the mid-sized pickups I tested. This drives more like a decent car than a truck. I have the six speed and it is great fun to drive especially when the tachometer crosses 3-grand. It also has the most room inside of all the mid size pickups, without the cost and size of a full size.

The Frontier is my favorite car. The it is foreign and a little more expensive to fix the engine ins nearly brand new. Also it is a Nissan so if you shot the engine with a shot un it will still run. It is perfect for anything you might need. It is a four cylinder so it isn't great for pulling trailers but if you want to pull trailers don't get a Frontier.

I've had various vehicles/trucks throughout the years and I love my Nissan Frontier. This is one of the toughest trucks I've ever owned. I take it off-road every other weekend and it really takes a beating. The 4.0L V6 has plenty of power (265hp), but I'm still looking to add some additional horsepower (if you know what I mean). If you're in the market for a truck - check this one out!

One of the very best trucks I have ever owned. The ride is great, interior is extremely roomy and the haul load is awsome. I can hook up to almost anything I want to and not worry about not enough power to pull it. Goes great in the mud too.

Overall build quality seems poor. Cabin space seems small.
