2008 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab User Reviews

Pros

Lots of power for a V-6, Great Value

Cons

A bit wide in turning radius

This is my first Nissan truck and having owned a few other manufacturers vehicles, the Nissan is by far the best truck I have ever driven. Great power from the 4.0 V-6, comfortable ride (for a pickup), good layout of the controls, just an overall great value and great truck.

Could stand to have a better turning radius but that is mostly just an inconvenience than a real problem. Love the from the factory features in the SE value package; sprayed on bedliner, aluminum wheels, ability to tow up to 6100lbs, lots of comfort for five adults. Haven't experienced the a/c on after defroster is turned off problem yet as I am in California and its still summer here so no comment on that.

Love the power of this pickup, the DOHC 4.0 puts out lots of power to pass, accelerate and get up the hills, and if you are easy on the right pedal, it can return great mpg. So far I have managed a best mpg of 23.7 (via Scangauge calculation) for a 114 mile trip, but I have seen 17 to 19 avg around town with a/c on. Love it!

I checked out a comparable Toyota, Dodge and GM products (Ford doesn't make a Crew Cab model of the Ranger) and the Nissan was a hands down winner, in features and price. Plus they build the majority of the truck in Tenn. so I like that I am contributing to US workers paychecks. My brother and dad are now talking Nissan Frontier for their next pickup purchases.

Don't waste your time on shopping the others, just go to your nearest Nissan dealer and drive the best, glad I did.
