  Not sure - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By spiff - April 13 - 5:10 am

  A good solid truck with a lot of promise. I have owned it for 3 years now with nothing major wrong with it. Just a lot of little things. Things like gas cap door spring falling off, door handle cover falling off, ac ducts came loose, rear bumper lights becoming loose, rattling in the exhaust. I have to say it hauls a load well and the bed track system is great.

  One year old and still strong - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Adam - January 5 - 8:56 am

  I have had the truck for a little over a year and am still enjoying every drive. I was able to get the hitch and tool box included at $1000 less than MSRP. The optional tool box works great for me as a construction worker, and it blends in with the style of the truck. The front seats have plenty of room and are reasonably comfortable for longer trips. The rear seats can be a little tight when the front seats are all the way back. Overall, the truck is excellent, and I am glad I didnt choose the Tacoma or Dakota instead.

  Not Quite Good Enough - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By alko - December 26 - 8:10 pm

  This review is specifically for the 2x4 Crew Cab SE w/ 6-speed tranny. This truck looks nice and has nice features in and out and the interior controls and gauges are well thought out, but threr are a couple of things I dislike. The front suspension is so stiff that it does nothing to absorb the freeway bumps and constantly throws my body from side to side on uneven terrain such as dips and driveways. The tires take all the abuse bouncing over the bumps. Its almost unbearable. The other thing I dislike is the electronic throttle control which has a decceleration delay of about 1 second and makes smooth shifting very hard to master. I just dont understand the thinking behind this.

  Outstanding - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By warp9vt - November 26 - 7:06 pm

  Went from a 2003 Dodge Dakota to a Frontier, wow what a difference. This truck goes everywhere. With the Dodge I had to watch out where I went, not this baby, it loves to climb mountains. With the Dodge it got 17 mpg. With this baby I get 24 mpg. On trips 26 and its an automatic. The only problem I have is it has power locks with no keyless entry capability. (Safety hazard with kids in the back seat, if the doors are locked and you need to get to them quick, you have to go to the driver side door to get in, (not easy access with locked doors.)).

  Best truck yet! - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By mauifrontier - October 12 - 12:30 pm

  I love this truck! After 4 months of ownership, its still a blast to drive and so nice to look at. Very off road capable and comfortable. My previous truck was an 03 Tacoma xtra cab 4x4. I was perfectly happy with that until driving this truck. Im so glad that Nissan is getting back on track creating exciting and and attractive vehicles again! It reminds me of the products they had in the early 90s. Keep up the good work Nissan!

  Nissan got it right! - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By RKW - September 25 - 3:03 pm

  In 2004 we bought a 2004 Frontier for our daughter in college. In November my husband bought a new 2004 Titan and in December I bought a 2005 Frontier in black. Its an eye catcher and Ive had a lot of compliments on it. I drive 100 miles every day and the new 05 Frontier is comfortable, lots of power and Im getting almost 22 mpg on the highway. Nissan has done an awesome job in the redesign of the Frontier. Of all the trucks weve owned, by far, this is the best one. Im a convert having been a fan of the Chevy Silverado for many years! I can haul a two horse trailer with two 1300 lb. horses aboard with this new Frontier with no problem.

  By Jim - September 6 - 12:00 am

  Two days arfter purchasing this truck I drove from Dallas to Seattle. Since then, Ive driven to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Missouri and New Mexico. Ive never had a problem. I take it off road frequently and love it. I wish I would have gotten an off-road package, but Im still very happy with it.

  LE 4WD - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By zechs220 - September 2 - 2:00 am

  Currently have about 92k. I love this truck. I have owned it for 4 years. I beat the crap out of this truck. Smashed it twice, and i drive it like i stole it. Never had any problems till recently. Catalytic converter on Drivers side went out on it at 83K just out of emissions warranty. Nissan wanted $1200 i did it myself on the ground for about $250. Now if having some sort of vibration coming from the transmission, almost like the torque converter lockup is not engaging correctly. My Gibson Exhaust rusted through and i ended up puttin a banks exhaust on it. I bought it for the power, boy does this truck move. Ive raced with it and ive run it through the mud. Cant beat a Frontier.
