I have my dream car. A 2006 Toyota 4R 4.7 L V-8 with 122,000 miles. Clearcoat? Perfect, like brand new. Rides and runs also like brand new. Meticulously maintained, senior driven, eat off the floor clean, with no pets, wives, kids or other shenanigans. It is in my garage right now, not exposed to the elements. In 15 years I have spent less than $6500 for tires, batteries, oil, water pumps, timing belts, brakes, rotors, struts, thermostat housing replacement (the only unscheduled repair). That is less than $500 per year. I will die before this car. Thank you for your service.

Hey Scotty, which suv or sedan would you suggest as the most strong, least headache fuel efficient suv or sedan. My brother needs one.

[@peiguy1982]

Driving one of those Frontiers Scotty it's like you are in a time machine. Some rough and the dash is the most awful hard plastic, with half ton fuel economy if you get the 4 liter v6. I'd rather drive my Ram and fingers crossed the cam lobes don't get wiped out.

[@enriquerobles2130]

Tacoma a better truck? Tacoma: composite bed; frontier: steel; tacoma: rear drum brakes; frontier: rear disk brakes; tacoma: c channel frame; frontier: fully boxed frame; frontier: more power/torque; better seating position and on top of all that a lower price? Given that the frontier has proven decently reliable as well, looks like the frontier IS a better truck.

There you go Scotty. I love the Frontiers. Not only are they good trucks, they also have a character that other pickups don’t have. They are one of a kind. Because they’re cheaper, they can be hot rodded easier. There’s a lot of different trim packages for them which makes them more customizable.

When I purchased my 2014 Frontier, I desperately wanted a Tacoma - until I drove one. For the price, the Tacoma was under powered and didn't handle well. I got my Frontier for approximately $24K, with crew cab, bedliner, towing package, dual air control, and heated seats. I have not second guessed my decision. I have yet to be presented with a situation in which I couldn't hall what I wanted - to include lumber, rocks, mulch, etc. The thing has some power and rides like a car. Six years later, it is running strong. I have had no significant mechanical problems. Ultimately, great truck and I will drive it until it can go now more.

In January 2019, I bought a brand new Toyota Tacoma 4X4 with a 4 cylinder engine in it and I love it. Prior to this purchase, I drove a 1999 Nissan Frontier 4X4 XE. The dealership where I bought my Toyota offered me $2000.00 trade in on the Toyota. I told them I would keep the truck and paid for the new Toyota in full on the spot. About three months later, I ran the Nissan on Marketplace on Face book and sold it for $4750.00. It had 132,000 miles on it. It had been in a small "fender bender" but was properly repaired. In the end, everyone was happy! Thanks for the video Scotty!

[@stevey500]

Frontier, xterra, pathfinder (body on frame), and including the titan are all extremely good vehicles. 05-07 frontiers, xterras, and pathfinders suffered of potential transmission cooler corrosion introducing coolant into the transmission fluid. A bypass of that cooler was a rock solid solution. 05-07 also had premature wearing timing chain guides, introduced noise at a certain mileage but many drive on without an issue.

[@latinobazaar]

My wife and I just bought a new 2019 Frontier Crew Cab Pro 4X about a month ago. We paid $31,400 for ours and that was with the Premium Package. When we test drove a similar equipped Toyota Tacoma was $47,500. We test drove both the same day, on the same roads on and off road and found the Frontier more to our liking. One thing people say what makes the Taco better is its standard safety features that the Nissan doesn't have. Ironically, during our test drive of the Taco, the salesmen even turned off these systems on the Taco because they were beeping so much we couldn't hear ourselves think. haha The Frontier is a great truck. Simple just the way we like it. Plus we saved $16k overall on purchase price. Just can't argue that. 😎

[@drock4912]

Not sure how you can say "No arguing" comparing the Frontier to the Taco. Especially when consumer reports and every other reputable motor rag rates the Frontier over the Taco. I bounced back and forth for months on which one to get, and what it boiled down to, was, I really liked the 'look' of the Taco, but as for dependability and ruggedness and repair costs - no contest. The Frontier is a better truck.

[@Greg-lo1tl]

Have only driven Frontiers for years. First was a D21 Hardbody. Man that underpowered little truck was tough, lol. Drove a 2001 Desert Runner for a while, loved the handling, awesome turning radius. 3 3 was still underpowered. My current 2015 4.0 Frontier finally has some sack, although that generation seems to have a poorer suspension and turning radius. All that having been said, the common element among them all is they're tough as nails.

I got a lot more truck than a comparable Tacoma. Its definitely a great truck. Change the oil, do the maintenance and it will last a long time.

[@dirtydave2691]

I am on my 5th Nissan pick up. 85, 93, 02, 08 and a 2012 that I still drive. I put well over 100,000 miles on each one. I always wanted a Tacoma, but the price left me gasping.

[@sergiotorres9279]

Yes the price on tacomas its ridiculous even the old ones

[@Green_Leaf]

05 to 19 Frontier with the VQ40 and the 6MT is near bullet proof. These 6MT trucks have an M226 rear differential that is a Dana 44. Solid truck and we own 2 of these 😊

The Frontier 8s tough and more powerful than the Tacoma. Agreed. No issues with my Frontiers. That is all I have driven for the last 16 years.

great as always scotty, and for the record I purchased a nissan frontier in 2005 used with 55,000 miles on it. I still drive the truck today. I thought about replacing it but in the end I took it to my brother in law who is a body shop manager for toyota and I got everything painted and replace on the exterior for 3,000.00 So now I have a brand new looking 2000 frontier that I drive every day with 172,000 miles on it. I have done regular oil changes, replaced a radiator, regular tune ups and replaced a distributor assembly. Any repairs done other than plugs, wires, and oil change was after the 150,000 mile mark. So your right Scotty..and everyone should listen to you. My son just purchased a new Nissan Frontier Crew-cab last year 2019, I told him take care of it and it will serve you for the next decade and more... Cheers!

I love my frontier. I have the pro 4x4 and I lifted it so bring on the problems!

[@johngalan3754]

I bought my 1992 Nissan Hardbody 3.5 years ago for $1000. I put some introductory maintenance (water pump, battery, alternator, tires, alignment, oil, filters, etc) and it has ran immaculately since then. I did most of my maintenance myself, but some bigger jobs I had done at a friend mechanic. Either way, I'm here to endorse this solid investment. Still running strong!

Funny. I drove almost a half-million miles in a four-cylinder manual Frontier, replaced the tires and wiper blades, changed the oil and the fluids, and one clutch, and never had any problems until the timing chain tensioner gave up, wrecking the engine.

bought my used frontier a year ago for 20k only had 12k miles on it. I had shopped for tacomas before but in order for me to get one for 20k i had to go back to the 2010 years with 60k mile if not more to get close to my price range, i love my frontier so far its actually not bad on gas. i use it alot for my auto detailing jobs

[@popuppete]

I had a 2013 Frontier V6 for 5 years. While there was a lot I liked about it and the price was fair mine had a lot of issues. The rear differential, rear axel and a few smaller things were repaired under warranty. The rear axel had internal failure and caused a few other problems when it went. It only had 40k miles on it. The paint also chipped really easily. Sold it at a decent price after the warranty expired thanks to the “reputation” of reliability. Maybe mine was the exception. But it lived a fairly cushy life and still didn’t hold up.

[@scienceobrien8335]

Hey Scotty I got a 2018 Nissan frontier pro4x in 2018. It had 18000 miles and lots of Warranty left. I love this little truck! Very nice on the freeway and keeps up with any Toyota on the trail with it's rear diff lock, I now have 48,000 miles. Great truck!!

[@scienceobrien8335]

Oh and the best part, I paid almost $10,000 less than New and more compared to the Tacoma.

The Truth get the 4.0 V6 people like to say well Nissan has been making that same old 4.0 for 20 years. Exactly they have the bugs out of it, run Mobil 1 full synthetic and Mobil filter and it will serve you well.

[@kentcruse4969]

Bought my 2014 Frontier brand new. (4.0 V6) 168,000 miles later I'm not even burning oil. Of course regular maintenance like oil & fluid changes religiously. Only part I've had to replace was the right front wheel bearing at 152,000! I was counting on 300,000 miles when I bought it but after watching this I'm going for 1,000,000! PS Scotty : my choice did come down to the Tacoma or Frontier. I saved almost 5,000 over a comparable Tacoma and I couldn't get the factory sprayed on bed liner with Toyota.

All my NISSAN trucks have gone 350K + miles very reliable and you can pick these up for a good price. Also they are one of the few last companies using all STEEL CONSTRUCTION vs aluminum&plastics.

[@ecschindelbeck]

Once had a 1982 Datsun pickup 5MT and it was so good over 200k miles that my eventual buyer wouldn’t sell it back to me when I later had a change of circumstances and needed a small pickup again. But it was where I discovered that quality Toyota (and Honda) aftermarket parts were cheaper and more readily available.

[@billm.819]

My 1986 Nissan did not have your experience, sadly. The standard transmission went out with 86,000 highway miles. The engine blew at 56,000. An axle even broke. Yeah, that was 35 years ago but that was the worst vehicle I ever had. I had better luck with a Mitsubishi.

Nope,,,,,, in NZ these Frontiers are called Navaras. They are a poor-mans-Hilux over here because they are often found being towed and driving slowly in crawl-home mode. Our ones also have a micky-mouse 114x6 bolt pattern so you have to repair a damaged tyre if you get 2 punctures. They also have numerous reports of bent or snapped chassis. Given plenty of hot highway miles, they are good but for the real hard work..... don't kid yourself, get a Hilux.
