  Great value - horrible turning radius - 2011 Nissan Frontier
  By liberator1 - December 1 - 3:42 am

  As with everyone else, I was shopping the Tacoma while shopping the Frontier. I can say I will never buy a Toyota simply because they dont want to negotiate their vehicles. The Tacoma did not offer many of the ammenities of the Frontier such as leather, auto seats, etc. The Frontier offers much more bang for the buck. The only thing I dont like is the horrible turning radius of the vehicle. You cant even make a u-turn on a 4 lane road without having to make a 3 point turn. An F-150 turns sharper than this smaller truck. Other than that, it rocks!

  NIssan will roll backwards - 2011 Nissan Frontier
  By Ken NH - November 12 - 2:00 am

  In July I purchased a new 2010 Nissan Frontier Pro 4X4 . With the new purchase I quickly discovered that when stopped on a hill, while in drive, the vehicle rolls backwards. It will similarly roll forward if in reverse and stopped when backing up. I now know there is a “Hill start assist” that allows the driver to stop on an incline, release the brake and not roll back for two seconds.” But after two seconds the vehicle rolls as if in neutral and will roll backwards unimpeded. Some assist. As effective as the Emperor’s New Clothes. Unaware of this “assist” I reported the problem to the dealership and I was told when on a hill I would have to “two pedal it.

  Glad I made the switch to the Nissan - 2011 Nissan Frontier
  By fighterpilot - July 14 - 6:40 pm

  After owning a 96 4x4 Ranger for 207K miles I was ready for something new. Had been looking at the Frontier for some time and finally bought. Glad I did. I opted for the 4.0L V6 with a 6 speed manual as the automatic proved to be quite a dog upon acceleration. Im 3500 miles in and gas mileage is running about 20-21 when running the AC.

  2011 King Cab 4X4 - 2011 Nissan Frontier
  By john528 - May 28 - 9:51 pm

  I got it with the utility package. This means it has some whistle and bells. I compared to the Tacoma. The nissan to me road better. The cost of Toyota vs Nissan made it an easy choice Gas milage - 16city 19 combined

  2011 Frontier Crew CAB SL - 2011 Nissan Frontier
  By glockamole - May 14 - 7:23 am

  I had a Toyota Tacoma Doublecab TRD Off-Road, which I loved. I reluctantly traded for a car. When I came to realize I couldnt handle not having a truck, I began looking for a Tacoma or Frontier. When it came down to price and creature comforts, the Nissan Frontier was, hands down, the best choice for me. Toyota dealer was barely willing to negotiate with me on the price of a Doublecab 2WD. I ended up with my frontier, which has leather, sunroof, heated seats, nerf bars, bed extender, XM, and roof rack for roughly $4,000 less than the comparable Tacoma I was looking at. Ride and capabilities are every bit as good and it looks great. The only thing I miss is the back up camera in the Tacoma.

  Great offroad but also a excellent grocery getter - 2011 Nissan Frontier
  By mystro - October 10 - 9:56 am

  Nissan should have named the 4x4 the Mountain Goat series..the Frontier out performs every other truck in its class. Built like it looks.

  Love my Frontier! - 2011 Nissan Frontier
  By dafowler88 - July 18 - 2:11 am

  I purchased my Frontier PRO-4X in Jan 12 for $26,500. It was a slightly used 2011 model with 5700 miles. I couldnt be happier. The only thing I have had to do to it after putting 20k miles on it is change the battery which was replaced under warranty. The gas mileage is my only gripe, but I can live with that as I only have a 5 mile drive to work both ways (average 15.8, mostly city driving). I went with the Frontier over the Tacoma and F150 V6 mostly becuase of value but also because I just think its a much better looking truck than either of the latter two. The 4-wheel drive system is second to none (Maybe Jeep, I suppose). It has great get-up.

  New Frontiers - 2011 Nissan Frontier

  No problems with the power train or any systems. Drivers side cloth seat is worn, but I do that with all of my trucks.

  PRO-4X - 2011 Nissan Frontier
  By kipster85 - March 3 - 3:21 am

  This is my first truck, first "straight-from-the-factory" purchase, and first Nissan. 8k miles & 8 months later, Im very happy overall with this vehicle. I naturally looked towards the Tacoma first since my buddy had one, but the price was steep. I then test drove the PRO-4X and I was highly impressed with the ride quality and handling both on and off road. The mpg does hurt if you drive in a slow speed town, but not too bad for highway travel. Ive done everything with this truck except towing and mudding, and it runs beautifully.

  Best of the Compact 4-doors - 2011 Nissan Frontier
  By jim_xeod - February 17 - 1:47 am

  I , like everyone else, deliberated over this or the Tacoma. Unlike most others, I have owned 6 different Toyotas throughout the years. This is no bash on Toyota, but the just do not make a model comparable to this one. I will explain: I was replacing a Limited 4Runner. Leather, sunroof, heated seats, power seats, ect. To get this from Toyota, you have to get a Tundra. No leather, sunroof, power or heated seats in the Tacoma. The Tundra is a great vehicle, but too large for my needs, and I only require a V6. All that was left was to test drive the Frontier SL. Wow. That sums it up.
