Overview & Reviews

There are only minor changes to this Nissan truck for 2006. A power package with keyless entry, cruise control and power windows, locks and mirrors is available for the King Cab XE, and NISMO and LE models now have chrome accents on the gauge cluster and air vents. Additionally, manual transmission-equipped NISMO models have a new shift knob for 2006.

• Powerful V6 engine, roomy interior, innovative bed features, stout frame and advanced off-road systems provide excellent capability in the dirt.

• No regular-cab body style available, too much hard plastic inside, choppy ride on pavement.

  this is a great truck - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By nissan boy - December 27 - 8:36 pm

  This is my 4th nissan truck, the 06 is by far the best mid size you can buy. Super reliable and fun to drive ( its got zip)rides great what else do you want. Many more features on the 06 not on the older models, they hit a home run with this one.

  Fun to drive - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By tsg2003 - December 2 - 8:46 am

  Overall I really enjoy this truck and am very happy with my purchase! The interior is very nice and the layout is excellent. There is plenty of room in the front, but barely any in the back of the access cab. This isnt a problem for me as I dont plan on having tons of people with me all the time, but be aware, space is sparse back there. The truck looks beautiful from the outside. Very rugged looking and certainly stands out in a crowd. So far gas mileage has been 14 mpg which is alright considering the power this truck has, but I was hoping to get 17-18 out of it. Again this is a great driving truck and I feel very comfortable in it. Get one!

  15 months w/my Frontier - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By DB - November 10 - 7:10 am

  I have had my Frontier for almost a year & 1/2 now. I use it for personal/family, not really as a truck. I love the bed for carrying things I would have to squeeze into a car trunk, like Little League equip. I purchased an aftermarket locking bed cover, so it makes it much more useful. I love everything about this truck except large turning radius & poor gas mileage (about 14 mpg in local driving). It feels comfortable & looks great.

  versatility manifest - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By Ethan Rode - October 31 - 12:00 am

  This truck is the perfect compromise of size and power. It combines the flexibility of a smaller truck with the power of the big boys

  Mini Titan is very good at most things - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By adm77450 - September 16 - 8:23 pm

  Have owned 05 Crew Cab LE 2WD for 2 1/2 months now. Overall very pleased with my purchase. Traded in 04 F150 Crew Cab and even though I gave up lots of interior space this truck is much easier to manuever abound Houston traffic. The bed divider/bed extender is very innovative and comes in handy a lot. Heated leather seats are fairly comfortable and give good support. Truck could handle a little better at highway speeds. Not sure if stability control is offered but would have been a good option to have. Getting about 19mpg combined so far. Has plenty of low end torque and lots of HP for the size.

  Great Truck - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By TM - September 12 - 9:46 pm

  I love this truck. Ive owned a Toyota and believe me it is a Toy compared to the Frontier.

  First Pickup - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By DEH - August 24 - 1:30 pm

  This is my first pickup and I must say that I am exceptionally pleased with all aspects of this truck. As a previous Nissan owner I have been familiar with the product but again, this was an outstanding value and product.

  Exceptional Truck - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By Tracker 3 - July 22 - 8:46 am

  I bought a 2006 Nissan CC LE model and I love it. The stiffness of the frame and steering is a joy you can feel the quality. The interior is spacious and quality is apparent. Out of all the other brands out there that I test drove this truck was the tops. However I did not drive the Tacoma because I did not like the looks or the added price compared to the Nissan. I did not find the audio or leather packages as necessary so I went without it. The truck is excellent and drives like a dream. The 265 HP V6 really puts you back into your seat when you unleash all the ponies on the highway. It is a very comfortable truck to drive.

  Finally, an affordable good truck - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By Chris Christian - June 17 - 8:16 pm

  I should have gotten the power window and door locks otherwise it handles well at all speeds and even does off road fairly well. Its a mild suprise for $ vs. truck, then again its a Nissan. I Havent had it that long, but I expect to wring 150,000 to 200,000 out with proper maintenance and low dollars. John Christian

  Fullsized Midsize - 2006 Nissan Frontier
  By mossinit - June 14 - 1:06 pm

  The drive train on this truck is rock solid. The 4.0 begs to be revved but still has surplus power off idle. I optioned the 6 speed manual that came mated to a Dana 44 rear axle, heavy duty stuff for a midsized truck. I have used my truck extensively off road in the Adirondacks and found its size ideal for mountain fire roads.
