I got 2000 Frontier crew cab with over 350k miles and still runs like a top.


A big problem is that the design of the Frontier hasn't been changed in 15 years. It lacks modern safety equipment and technology, Their design is ancient - and it competes in a segment where is more appropriate to maintain a longer design lifespan.

The existing competitors aren't necessarily unreliable. Pickup buyers are mostly very satisfied with their vehicles.

They kind of had a monopoly on the mid-size market for that period of time. For a mid-size truck, you had two options: Frontier or Tacoma.

It wasnt until Chevrolet/GMC and Ford re-entered the mid-size market that Nissan began to consider redesigning the Frontier.
