Loaded this up. Clearly over payload, want to shovel some out and get it tomorrow but guy is telling me it’s fine. Idk if I agree. Have to drive 23 miles home, and let it sit while I’m at work. Should I shovel some out?
EDIT: Unloaded about half of it. Will pick up the rest tomorrow.
Note: I am not a truck person and my biggest vehicle I’ve ever owned was a Honda civic, currently driving a gti. I convinced myself I want a truck for hiking and mountain biking trips - my gti struggles on rough roads with the bike rack on it, I get really nervous and often have to flick on my warning lights and just drive like 5 mph.
I test drove a frontier pro4x and a Tacoma trd off road this past weekend and aside from the steering I liked the Nissan better, it felt a lot more comfortable in the cabin (seats, space, etc), it felt more like a traditional modern car which I liked. But I absolutely hate the steering. I’m not going to say I’m weak but I’m a woman and have my preferences with steering and it feels like it might be the dealbreaker.
Has anyone else had my same experience and did you get used to it? It’ll probably be less of an issue if I keep my gti but I’m considering trading it in because I don’t think I want multiple vehicles, I only have a single stall garage.
After a few months of looking and waiting, I pulled the trigger on a ‘21 SV 4x4. Missed out on a papaw-owned ‘19 SL this weekend but I’ll admit the 3.8 and 9spd make this truck so much better.
It’ll be sharing daily duty with my Mk7 GTI and get some basic camping add-ons for yearly trips to CO/UT/AZ.
Excited to see how this stacks up to my former Jeeps and Toyotas.
Can’t believe this happened on my 2024 Frontier. Under no weight too. I am hoping this is warrantied I was able to get the connect back on to get it closed but I am a little disappointed with the build quality. Has this happened to any one? Last picture is of a healthy one.
I’m 24, getting ready to have my first child and I think I want out of my truck payment so I don’t have to work as much and can spend more time with my family. Currently have a 2021 f150 5.0, with about 10k in equity in.
Found a 2013 v6 4x4 Nissan frontier with a manual for 14k with 75k miles.
Thoughts?
The only real *reason* I need a truck is to tow my duck boat during hunting season. I commute to work In a Hyundai Elantra.
How is she looking? Bought it used with the black hub caps three years ago, decided to finish the black out look.
Still have a chrome back bumper so wanted to fix that and see how I can change the back logo to black as well. Wanted to get a bull bar that also had headlight guards, but can’t find a good after market one so please send suggestions! Just found this community; I had no clue we were such a positive group, but I’m glad to be here!
Love this lil truck.

I’ve been looking at gen 2 frontiers ( specifically 2011-2019) and gen 2.5 frontiers (2020-2021) as a daily driver/dog hauler and I was wondering how the cost of maintenance is for the 4.0V6 with the 5 speed auto and the 3.8V6 with the 9 speed auto.
Are parts easy to find and is it gonna be costly for fluid changes and other normal maintenance?
My brother has a Bronco and to change a headlight it cost him $1100….. I don’t want that lol
I hear these vehicles are very reliable little trucks , I also heard the first year of the 3.8 V6 and 9 speed transmission had a lot of issues so I’m aiming more towards the 4.0 V6.
I just need something that’s gonna be good for 200k+ miles and isn’t gonna cost me much to maintain.
My Mustang GT is my fun car but it sucks in the rain and other bad weather and it isn’t practical for my dog
Finally had some nice weather the past weekend and got to put the roll bar lights on and wired them up to a 6 gang switch panel im really happy with how bright and wide they can be. Now im deciding what to do next lol
Just put money down on this ‘26 SV today. Been going back and forth between Tacoma, Colorado and Frontier. I need to buy running boards for it, if anybody can suggest a good place, I would appreciate it.
I just picked up a 2016 Nissan Frontier S. 4.0l v6, 6spd manual, with 54k miles.
Took long enough! 2018 Frontier with 71k miles, OEM battery finally kicked the bucket. I can't even be upset.
I found a 2021 SV Midnight Edition earlier that had 41k miles and was listed for 22.9k but I later found out that it had a 2nd year engine in it that had problems.
So I’ve started searching for another one that’s a 2011-2019 and I found this.
It’s a 2019 Frontier 4X2 Desert Runner that has a clean CARFAX , 1 owner and no accidents listed at right under 20k and it even has all the maintenance they did to it before they listed it for sale.
Is this a good deal or should I keep looking??? All I’ve heard is how reliable these trucks are , I’m just looking for a daily driver that I can haul my dog around in
Did anybody else not get told or have any paper given to them that said they were approved by a bank and not nissan financing. I had nothing in my package saying which bank approved me. When I purchased my car from Honda they gave me everything and told me and provided the paperwork of the bank who approved me. I tried to sign up in the Nissan app and I had to call them to find out. I am dissapointed. I love my truck but buying it was like pulling teeth. They messed up entering it and gave me cloth seats but ordered it with leather like I asked and I went to sign and they said ops sorry and ripped up my contract and made me sign 3k higher cause the guy wrote cloth seats on the paperwork some how. Now I am finding out I am with a bank. GREAT ! I am happy with my truck but does anyone else have the same horrible expirence as I do when dealing with the dealership.
I’ve been interested in looking at the 2nd gen frontier (2005-2021). I found one near me that’s a 2021 with 41k miles , located at my local ford dealer, one owner clean title and it had been serviced at a Nissan dealership its whole life.
It’s listed at 23k and it’s significantly cheaper than a Tacoma but I wasn’t sure if the reliability is as good.
I don’t know much about these trucks , used rangers also cost very close to new ones but I know the earlier years of the new rangers had some issues so for the price and it having a N/A V6 the frontier is something I’d consider.
What should I look out for when buying a used one? Will they last 200k+ miles??? I’m just looking for a daily driver/dog hauler.
Noticed my temp gauge has started sitting a bit higher than its normal spot. Usually sits below the bottom line that it’s covering. Not fluctuating just higher with no other indicators of overheating. Does anyone have experience with these cooling systems or does this look fine? 2018 Frontier 4.0L 105,000 miles.
