Nissan Frontier (1997 - 2004) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

My friends who drove my truck would always remark about how quickly it accelerated! AND to me, compared to other trucks I have driven, this truck handled well - turned well, accelerated well, stopped pretty well. There are NO blind spots in this truck! With the tailgate down this truck has hauled two dirtbikes at once! And for three years in a row, it went to almost every USC home game as the tailgate vehicle. I was very happy with it, but I traded it in - sadly, it was time for me to move on and get something a little more sophisticated.Jan 13, 2014

This has been a good truck all around, mine has over 200K on it and still going good. I still get complements on it's looks. Find that I wish it had a taller overdrive gear. Nissan charges way to much for their parts but after markets are becoming very available. It tends to be a bit nose heavy, it is a pickup, 200lbs of sand bags in the bed make it very drive-able. Changing the #6 plug is insane, some engineer should be slapped. Mar 04, 2013

I've now had this truck about 10 years and I love it. It's assisted in over 10 moves (4 of me to and from college), hauls firewood yearly, hauls tools;dirt;gravel and anything else necessary for my home improvement projects. I even recently hauled a half cubit yard of gravel in it (though I'll probably never have that much weight in it again). For a 4 cylinder (2.5 L), it's got good power and great mileage (lightweight truck). Brakes are good. I've even had it down plenty of trails and off road. It's done great (for a 2wd). Only things I've had to replace are the battery (2006, now an Optima battery) and the catalytic converter (2010).Feb 17, 2012

I purchased the truck new and enjoyed every mile between gas stations. I was lucky to get over 200 miles per tank. This truck also reguires premium fuel. Get past the fuel range and it was super dependable and a good looker. The 21/2 inch Rancho lift and 1 inch offset rims gave a better ride and look. This is a strong little truck and i am sad to see it go.Dec 24, 2011

I love everything about my truck but am considering buying a jeep. It has been very well maintained. Only has a little over 40,000 miles. the truck had great acceleration and braking and handling. I would feel very protected in an accident. With the short bed I can control parking much better in garages,etc. Has bed extender for hauling or going on trips to carry extra.Jun 20, 2011

All around great "small" truck. Supercharger really pulled when needed, the 4 doors made it more practical, the longbed gave me that extra room when making my Home Depot Runs and the 4WD came in handy if I ever needed to go up to the snow or take it off road. This truck is best as a extra vehicle as I had mine as my daily driver which I commuted 20 miles to and from work. I figure I was getting about 18 MPG at best. With its turning radius, the crew cab and long bed parking in small parking lots was a aquired skillJan 07, 2010
