2006 Nissan Frontier Mid-Size Pickup Truck

A truck you can live with
Jump to page: 1 | 2
Overall, the Frontier looks and performs like a downsized Nissan Titan, and it's available with some of the same cool features that make the Titan stand out. Some of my favorites are a factory-applied, spray-on bedliner and a nifty system of adjustable tie-downs called Utili-track.
Pricing, like on most trucks, is spread over a huge range that depends on how you configure it. A basic, rear-wheel-drive, King Cab model with a four-cylinder engine starts under $16,000, and a NISMO off-road-equipped Crew Cab with four-wheel drive costs more than $27,000. In between to these two are 17 other flavors of Frontier with prices to fit virtually any budget.
Best of all, for a person who usually hates trucks, I found this one pretty darned comfortable to drive. It still had a pogo-stick suspension, but it was quiet and roomy enough on the inside to make up for the bounciness. Everything about it seemed like a perfect fit, neither too big nor too small, neither too wimpy nor too brutish.
And that's why I don't hate the Frontier.
Pros: It's a just-right-size truck that slots perfectly between the micro trucks and the big boys. It offers good performance with a V6 engine and lots of configurations to suit your needs.
Cons: It's still a truck.
