  Great Choice - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By dalo - February 11 - 1:43 pm

  NISMO 4WD CC Sunroof plg, Off Road pkg, Radio pkg. Pros Rides taunt. Steering is very true. Handles Northeast weather and roads very well. Fit and finish are pretty nice. Room for 4. Rockford radio sound is very good. Controls are easy to use. Very happy with choice. Cons Needs driver armrest. Rubber floor mats instead of carpet. Havent calculated mpg yet.

  Not sure I made the right choice... - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Tex - January 17 - 5:00 am

  This is my first Nissan and my first truck. Bought this truck base on price primarily, as compared to Taco. Didnt consider US products base on previously bad experiences. After 5100 miles the dash rattles sometimes when idling, the rear suspension squeaks (I HATE squeaks and rattles), and presently the dealership cant figure out why it wont start. The dealer set me up with a rental F150 Crew Cab which, I hate to admit, I like- its very comfortable and responsive. Heed other reviews that comment on the driver arm rest, driver side only door unlock, key fob, and plastic dash- these turned out to be real annoyances for me. If I could give my Frontier back and get all my money back, I would.

  Overall driving is an improvement. Too bad you ruined it with that horrible cover on the back

  Awesome - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Jon - January 1 - 4:46 pm

  My dad bought his truck after his 2003 GMC Sierra had transmission problems for the life of the truck. I got to drive the Frontier around and wow, what a cool truck. Its very solid, and handles really well for a truck. The engine has a lot of power, but it doesnt pick up till after the revs get toward 3000 rpm. It has 2 glove compartments and storage between the seats, which is pretty nice too. Gas mileage isnt so great yet.

  My desert dwelling Frontier - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Pete - December 2 - 9:10 pm

  I just purchased my Frontier last week and I love it. This is my second Nissan product. They make an excellent vehicle that the dealer will really stand behind if there is ever a problem. I drive over 80 miles daily to work and back, and the last thing I need to worry about is " Will I Make It ". It is also a beautiful, well designed midsized truck that my 6 foot 230 pound frame will fit in comfortably.

  Best value - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By shopguy - November 29 - 4:06 pm

  This is my fourth Nissan King Cab. I expect this one to last as long. The last one went 164K when the insurance totaled it. The prior truck has 278K and is still running with only standard maintenance. The new V6 is great and I am avg. 22.1 mpg city/hwy. I need a truck for work & look at overall longterm cost. Vehicle quality compares to my other cars, an Acura and a Boxster.

  Frontier vs Tacoma - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Ray - November 16 - 5:56 am

  I did a lot of research, the more I looked the more I found supporting the Frontier as the superior truck. I drove both and also drove the Colorado. All drive similar with the Tacoma having a cushier ride. Questionable if thats what you want in a high CG vehicle. I bought the Frontier. Full box frame, 4 wheel disk brakes, 265 hp V6 on regular unleaded gas, sprayed on bed liner developed specifically for Nissan. It was really no contest. Toyota dealers would not even give me a price quote hinting that truck of the year warranted no price concessions. Nissan dealers wanted to make a deal and gave me the best deal.

  Consumers Dream - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Gary Hooper - October 23 - 8:20 am

  Love to drive this vehicle. First new truck Ive ever had and Im 50. I live in a rural area with dirt roads and you cant tell where the dirt ends and the pavement begins. Ive taken it through thick mud and water with no problem in handling. The 4 speed automatic transmission shifts without you even noticing. Ive filled the bed with bricks and lumber and it still handles like it was empty. This truck was made for Home Depot runs. I love the interior. I have never seen an interior fabric like this. Excellant! I think my next truck will be a Nissan if this one ever wares out.

  I love my Frontier Crew Cab 4WD - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Rod, man - October 13 - 1:30 pm

  I have own many trucks and SUV in my life. The Frontier is my first vehicle from Nissan. I love everything about the truck. Excellent handling, engine power, and its bold body styling. I have yet to test the off-road and towing capabilities, but that will be soon.

  My First Truck - 2005 Nissan Frontier
  By Don - October 11 - 6:16 am

  This is my first truck and I think I made a great choice. This truck is great. It has a comfortable ride, a smooth tranny and looks great. The stereo is first rate. The controls are easy to operate even with gloves on. I test drove an 03 Toyota but went with a new Nissan. My wife calls it Stewie.
