strong motor

Cons:

everything else

Review:

I bought this truck new in 2006. Since day one this truck has rattles, squeeks, vibrations and is uncomfortable to drive. the dealership has not fixed any of the problems that i have reported over the years. The fuel sending unit has been replaced twice and the serpentine belt and tensioner have been replaced twice. The truck has a stiff suspention and goes over bumps on the high way very harshly. the engine is strong but makes a lot of valve noise.

Pros:

awesome power, great looks, and great ride

Cons:

NOISEY as hek.

Review:

I love this truck awesome power and ride and looks but all the noise's in the rear when I hit bumps or dips. witch my local dealer says this fix (I hope so). The brakes r even noisy when i hit them and I had them checked and there 80% good. And now my U-joint on my drive shaft is about to pop off and super load and all. again the dealer is going to fix it. thank god I don't want to walk home. once that's fixed I'm sure it will be a super super truck and totally love it...

Pros:

Lug bolt pattern of 6 on 4.5 is crappy, as there is a very limited supply of aftermarket wheels for for my NISMO truck, unless you want ghetto fab 22' wheels

Pros:

Fun to drive, looks, acceleration

Cons:

Squeaks and rattles, mileage(14 avg.)

Review:

Bought the frontier cause dealers would negotiate while Tacoma dealers would not.  Has strong accel and tight steering.  Looks good, bed a little too small, mileage disappointing.  Couple small issues (squeaks and rattles), that seem to be common.


Great truck but tainted by many technical service bulletins for problems

Pros:

Looks, options, power, utility bed, price compared with Tacoma

Cons:

Many small problems making the truck feel cheap and hurting my feelings about ownership. My truck has a wide range of issues (all small but bothersome)

Review:

If my truck was trouble free I would be completely happy with it, power, looks, function, etc,... Unfortunately this 2005 Frontier Nismo has 90% of the problems listed in the technical service bulletins. Squeaks and rattles, engine noises, interior issues, the brakes, specifically the rotors are poor (all 4 rotors are pitting badly). I feel I should have waited till Nissan worked out a lot of the bugs before buying the redesigned Frontier.
