2009 Nissan Frontier King Cab LE

Strengths:
Truck rides and drives very well. Plenty of power. Carries a heavy load well.

Weaknesses:
Inside of vehicle is very cramped. If you are taller than five foot ten you have to duck down to see out of the wind shield.
The turning radius is not any better than than that of a full sized Ford 150.
For a smaller truck boath size wise and engine wise I was expecting better fuel milage but that is not the case. This truck is a boarderline gas hog.

Summary:
This a nice truck but after owning it for the past eight months I would not recomend this vehicle.

Strengths:

Crew Cab

Weaknesses:
The back seat is a little small

Summary:
I really enjoy this truck. It accelerates great and I haven't had any problems with this truck. It does great in the snow and great 4x4 that I've used a few times. I really like the extended utility gate, it really comes in handy. I really love the switch on fly 4x4 it makes it so much easier! As far as gas goes it uses just as much as my Rav4 did. Plus it wasnt as pricy as the other trucks for example toyota wanted 30,000 for a new one that wasn't even a crew cab!!

2008 Nissan Frontier SE 4cyl 5spd

Strengths:
My Frontier is a 4 cyl w/ a 5 speed but it has the SE package which looks great. Very reliable truck. It is a 2wd but it is more than capable off road too. Very comfortable ride and inexpensive to maintain. I am a technician for the Nissan dealership where I bought it so that helps too.

Weaknesses:
I wish the 4 cyl had a little more get up and go like faster throttle response. Even with an upgraded exhaust, it still lacks a little in the power department.

Summary:
It is a very capable and stylish truck in my opinion, especially with the SE package. I swapped my steel 16" wheels to the alloy wheels and nobody can tell it is a 4cyl just by looking at it.
