  First 4000 miles - 2008 Nissan Frontier
  By Bob - November 25 - 4:13 pm

  Took over 10 months to make final decision, finally convinced myself to go back to a truck (had a Volvo sedan for the last 4 years, big mistake). Even though only in my first 4k miles, this purchase turned out to be a smart move. Lots of power, room, storage and style. Fun to drive and so far, no real complaints. Great truck!

  Excellent "compromise" choice - 2008 Nissan Frontier
  By Geodude - November 3 - 11:26 am

  I live in the Northeast and owned an earlier version of the 2WD Frontier (a 2000), so there have been a handful of days each year where I have said "Im getting a 4-wheel drive next time," but when that time came, I just couldnt do it. I couldnt bring myself to go with the 14 - 19 mpg. This is my primary commuter, and I just couldnt justify it. That having been said, this truck at least makes you feel like you chose the 4 X 4, with its high riding position, decidedly big-truck suspension and aggresive styling. If you can bring yourself to own up to it, youll find the four cyl engine is plenty tough enough for weekend chores, hauling a popup and merging onto the highway.

  Excellent Truck - 2008 Nissan Frontier
  By CP in STL - June 2 - 5:46 am

  Purchased the Crew Cab 4x4 LE with floor mats, hitch & cloth interior in March 2008. Traded in a 2002 Ranger. Driving position is comfortable and the feel on the road is solid and sturdy. With the 261hp engine, good acceleration and the BF Goodrich OEM tires are good, but not great. The turning circle is a bit too big for the size of the vehicle. I like the covered/weather tight hitch connection. Two glove boxes are nice, but one could be cooled. The steering wheel mounted cruise control buttons are not illuminated at night. The orange dash lights should be blue for easier night vision adjustment.

  Very Satisfied - 2008 Nissan Frontier
  By Bob - January 31 - 2:06 pm

  Have 1000 miles on it and am well satisfied. Have driven full size trucks for years. This is my first compact truck and I love it. Size is perfect. Performance is excellent. Looked at Toyota, Colorado, Ranger. This is the best of the bunch.

  Not happy - 2008 Nissan Frontier
  By NOT HAPPY - January 18 - 10:00 am

  Nice truck but the dash vents awful! I cant get comfortable in this thing! You cant get the air off your face makes eys burn! ! Also when driving on highway and getting to a town you have to turn up fan speed to stay cool! Temperatures are not consistent ! Also on my old Chevy you can blend air between top vents and floor! The Nissan is very limited with what you can do with the ac system !

  Love This Truck - 2008 Nissan Frontier
  By buffy72396 - January 3 - 6:46 pm

  We replace a car for this truck, and so far just love it, we have 5000 miles on it. Looked at the Tacoma but this was a lot more truck for the money. We have the SE pkg and 4 wheel drive. Gives you a very nice ride. Gas mileage was a little low till we put on the Bakflip cover and that improved mileage 25% to 30%. Well worth the money for the cover. Will pay for itself.

  Great Truck...Period! - 2008 Nissan Frontier
  By Czech1 - November 24 - 9:40 pm

  Like the title says, Great Truck...Period! Did a lot of shopping and comparing before deciding on the Frontier. Standard features plus what you get with the SE V6 Value Pkg blew the others away. Absolute best value out there. The ride is very smooth and quiet, transmission shifts are almost unnoticeable, more power than expected, handles great. Fit and finish is awesome. Especially surprised at how little, if any wind noise at highway speeds. Plenty of interior room. Interior is rather plain but very functional. Ive only got 2000 miles on it but on my last trip I avg 24.5 mpg on the highway. I highly recommend this truck!

  2008 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SE - 2008 Nissan Frontier
  By wlong336 - October 22 - 5:50 pm

  When I decided that it was time to buy a truck I narrowed my choices down to the Tacoma, Dakota, and the Frontier. I quickly decided that the Tacoma was out of my price range, so that left the Dakota and the Frontier. When you put these two trucks side by side there is no comparison the Frontier wins by a knockout. Its bigger, more powerful and comes with way more features for a smaller price tag. I love this truck, its is fun to drive, looks great with the chrome grill and bumpers unlike the cheap grey plastic bumpers of similarly priced Dakotas. Also, there may only be 23 reviews on this site for the Frontier but every one is good. That has to say something!

  Great truck - 2008 Nissan Frontier
  By gene - August 7 - 5:26 pm

  Checked out Frontier, Tacoma and Ranger. I wanted a 2 wheel drive and really disliked the Tacoma 2 wheel drive appearance. I had owned two Rangers and felt, after the drive, that the Frontier was the most bang for the buck. I have not been disappointed.
