  Frontier..you have come a long way..baby - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By memphisguy1967 - December 6 - 12:53 pm

  with only having bought this truck less than a month ago it as been a fantasic vehicle. I had been looking at these for years and decided it was time. Im glad I waited. The power from the 4.0 is great. Has ton of power and is great to drive, can pull away from a light and leave everyone behind. The 5 speed auto is smooth shifting. I use this truck as my daily commute and it is so comfortable that I can drive it in traffic and not get so tired from driving. The gas mileage could be better avg about 17 mpg. Have had a lot of complements on the truck and have had a few older frontier model owners stop me and want to take a look at the changes. People seem to be very impressed. Thanks Nissan!

  Awesome Truck - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Williajm - December 5 - 7:50 am

  Great Truck, have already put over a thousand miles on it in two weeks, and drives great in the snow, great pick up, and very fast. Test drove all other midsize trucks, and this one is the best. I am very very happy with my purchase. This would be great choice for anyone to make.

  Great Re-design! - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By reverendbiker - November 13 - 9:30 am

  This is the finest truck I have ever owned (7 previous) and has a level of refinement that it amazing. Acceleration and handling are first-rate, as are the interior design and ergonomics. Fuel economy is good for a truck (17/21 actual). I usually dont like to buy a first-year vehicle, but it looks like Nissan has done their homework on this one.

  Love it!!! 100+ mi and still kicking! - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Jason - November 4 - 1:33 am

  I had a Silverado with the 5.3L V8 a couple vehicles before this one. This is just as powerful, if not more, with the 4.0 V6. I live near the city so I wanted something a little more agile but still had plenty of muscle for all my excursions. This truck does perfect. 4WD makes it a billy goat. LOVE THE NISMO! You really dont have to do anything to this truck when you have that package...except maybe a bigger tire. By the way, 285 BFG ATs fit perfect with no modifications or rubbing. The interior design is perfect. Controls seem to be built for men (easy and straight forward). Opt for the Rockford sound system if possible. 6-Disc CD Changer is pretty convenient.

  Very pleased with the 05 Fronty - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Wyldcat89 - October 26 - 6:26 pm

  I settled on the 05 Frontier NISMO Crew Cab after 5 months of carefully considering other 2005 offerings. What I got was a strong, powerful engine (265hp) but with a suprisingly smooth & quiet ride. The stiffer suspension isnt harsh or jarring, but rather, it offers excellent road feel. The interior does feature a lot of hard plastic but I find it easy on the eyes and easy to clean. I really like the NISMO seat fabric too! The spray in bed liner and utili-trac system is a definite improvement over my 2001 Ranger and as a first time Nissan owner, I couldnt be happier.

  The Prime Truck - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Shulton - October 20 - 9:33 am

  Too much low quality plastic inside easy to break. Engine noise after 4 months, it starts when RPM hits 2200, unable to fix by dealer and not recognize by Nissan as defect. It does not affect performance, but its annoying.

  Nice truck so far, took a 700 mile trip in it this past weekend, ran great for a truck getting really good gas mileage. Small on passing power, but will run good in upper 80-90mph. Shes not shy, but dont think youre gonna be passing real easy.
