Overview & Reviews

Nissan's compact pickup rolls into 2003 with many new enhancements. Most interesting is a power-operated retractable top. The "Open Sky" top -- essentially a giant sunroof -- is optional on Crew Cab models. For safety, Nissan has added standard dual-stage front airbags for Crew Cabs, standard LATCH child seat anchors on King Cabs and Crew cabs, an optional stability control system and an optional tire pressure monitoring system. Other changes for 2003 include 10 more horsepower for normally aspirated V6 models, a driver seat-height adjuster and standard Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD). King Cabs now have standard ABS, a new storage bin and a new first aid kit (V6 only).

• Wide variety of body configurations and trim levels, many safety and convenience features.

• No third door on King Cabs, cramped rear seats for Crew Cabs.

  Needs to Improve comfort for Americans ! - 2003 Nissan Frontier
  By captmark - October 31 - 10:00 am

  I just bought my Frontier about a week ago. Its a nice truck on the outside! I didnt realize that its not too big inside,when I was looking at it. I am 60 and have long legs, if my seat is back far, then no one can sit in the back of me. Also, the arm rest is very short! Theres not enough compartments in the interior for stuff,not even a coin holder~! I had to buy one at Pepboys. I have to buy accessories in Auto stores to improve the comfort in this vehicle. American vehicles are made for owners to feel comfortable. I guess I am spoiled from my old American 1996 Chevy Blazer LT that was loaded to the Max!

  Nice Nissan - 2003 Nissan Frontier
  By rfernatt - August 30 - 10:00 am

  This truck replaced a leased 2001 Frontier CC 4WD 5-speed which was trouble free at 42K miles. Although we havent had this 03 long, I believe that it is quieter and rides smoother than the 01 on the road. The automatic keeps the engine running at lower revs on the interstate, and that helps. I also like the seat fabric better on this 03 XE than the 01. Squeaks and rattles werent a problem with the 01, but this truck feels very solid with virtually no rattles even over bumps and ruts. In summary, it has most everything I liked about our 2001 with some evolutionary improvements.

  mpg lousy for a small truck - 2003 Nissan Frontier
  By fireguy - August 4 - 12:46 am

  like most things about the truck (the drive, how it handles, etc.). Interior controls are good, however mpg horrible for a small truck. less than 15 on the interstate, less than 12 in town. I bought the truck thinking fuel mileage would be reasonable (most small trucks are).

  First Nissan - 2003 Nissan Frontier
  By kris1023 - April 1 - 3:56 am

  I LOVE this truck! I initially wanted this vehicle because of the aggressive styling, but ultimately bought it for the value and practicality. Even for a small V6, it can move if it needs to. I dont have the same mileage issue as most people (I get about 20 per gal) and I have a bit of a lead foot. No mechanical troubles, except that the check engine light went on when I put on a locking gas cap. With the birth of my second child, I found that the backseat cant handle an infant carseat without squishing the front passenger. Still I only paid $17,500 including the optional power and sport packages, so this is truly the best vehicle I have ever had for the money.

  Cramp My Style - 2003 Nissan Frontier
  By captain - March 7 - 2:00 am

  I like the overall vehicle. Its a very nice riding truck. All that have driven in it thinks it rides like a car and not a truck. It has a good style on the outside but lacking on the inside.

  First Nissan 4X4 - 2003 Nissan Frontier
  By Fronty - January 29 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this truck in June 2003. I have put almost 9000 miles on it since then. I have had no problems at all. The gas mileage was poor to start, but a K&N filter changed that. (17-21)(15- 17 before)HWY. The Rockford Fosgate system isnt all what its cracked up to be. The factory stereo in my 02 Trailblazer sounds better. Overall I am pleased with the performance and ride.

  Love My Truck - Great Truck - Wont let it go - 2003 Nissan Frontier
  By laurelguy - May 14 - 11:53 am

  Bought my 03 Frontier new in 1/03, havent had any complaints, now has 191k miles on it, having some issues but thats expected I guess. Speed sensors on both side needed replaced, now having to replace rear seal. Might be bandaging it but really dont want to let the truck go. Only complaint was local Nissan dealership for service or lack there of, but found local shop just as good and less expensive.
