First things first, I'm reviewing the 2005 Nissan Frontier XE with manual transmission. I picked this bad boy up used from a car lot with a recommendation from my friend, and I'm happy to say its one of the best pieces of advice I've ever followed. Overall, the Frontier is a very dependable little truck. The driving experience is pleasant with one little setback, it can sometimes be a rocky ride, but this is common among trucks of its size, price range and quality. The reason I'm rating the vehicle so high extends past the driving experience or the appearance of the vehicle - it's the dependability. In over 200,000 miles I've experienced one issue with the engine, and it was a minor belt for the AC Clutch. Many others have written about this specific issue, but luckily it's the only one that plagues the truck.

The truck is a 2005 Nissan Frontier XE, It is a true workhorse type of truck. It has a V-6 under the hood giving it some pulling power.
