New Nissan Frontier

If I was looking at a midsize it is by far and away the one I would get.

Not sure if this helps or not, but my dad has a 2006 frontier with over 200k and it’s still running. It still runs amazing for that many miles and age.

Think only thing really major that has been replaced is the ignition coils. Although the stupid shift lock keeps going out and can’t get it in gear.
Pretty sure that has been replaced 2-3 times.

I have a 2018 Titan and love it so if I was going midsize it would be the Frontier. I like the look of them.

Close friend got one several months back, and I really like the new body style. Debating trading in my F150 crew cab and downsizing to a Frontier crew cab. I don't tow anything, and I'm a short dude, so don't think I'd regret the mid size.

Anyone here have one yet? Thoughts?

Don't do it. I traded in a 2016 F150 on a tacoma and hated it. I kept the tacoma only a few months and went back to another f150. I am not a big person by any means, but it was like i did not fit in the tacoma. The room in the f150 cab and bed is mind blowing compared to the mid sized trucks.

I drive a Tacoma, and it’s a small ride. I love it but it’s not the most practical vehicle for most. I’d say a truck that size you almost have to use the bed fairly often because the inside has very little storage.

Again I have a truck in this class, and if I had to buy new today would probably stay in the same class, but it’s feels small compared to a full size for sure. I’m not short so that doesn’t help, but my wife is short and complains about climbing in

My Frontier is an older model. The turn radius SUCKS. If I had tried to park it in a tight space on the test drive, I wouldn't have bought it.

I drive a 4-door F150 for work, and it is easier to park than is the much smaller Frontier.

Maybe they have fixed it in the newer models, but I suggest doing some tight turns at low speed on the test drive.

I have been fairly obsessed about them myself, but I frequent the frontier forum (lurker) to see how people keep talking about 2022 models and there seem to be quite a number of them with problems. They were so popular though that they're basically out of inventory so good news is the 2023s will be out before the end of the year and we can hope they eliminate some of those bugs.

I'm considering trading in my jeep b/c I got in a fender bender that did a lot of "bending." It's just not right after the wreck.

Keep us updated if you get one.

Also, I know you say you don't tow anything, but be sure you won't BE towing anything significant in any reasonable time frame. I tow my SXS from time to time and a v8 would be nice. It doesn't feel like I'm damaging my vehicle towing it, but i will say it doesn't like getting to speed and it definitely could use a little extra power. anything over that kinda weight and you're talking problems for a v6. anything at or below that kinda weight, and you oughta be ok.

yeah. i'm fine waiting on demand to drop a little myself. i love the truck itself plenty that i don't need to be one of the first wave of people driving them to enjoy it.

I like it better than Tacomas, too. I found an SV with the technology package, convenience package, and premium package. Msrp was 44, and the dealership was asking almost 51. I can't justify that for a mid sized truck.
