I purchased this pickup as I needed a truck to fit my outdoors activities while still being able to go into a city and find parking. The crew cab was also a must as I have a daughter and needed the extra seating. I've never owned a Nissan before and was hesitant at first, but they offered everything I was looking for in a mid size pickup; 4wd, crew cab / 4 door, 6 foot bed and of particular necessity for my wife is leather interior. So far the truck has been problem free. I frequently take it off-roading onto the beach for fishing and have never had a problem. I would like a couple more inches of ground clearance for the bad ruts. The ride is great, both highway and city. Gas mileage could be better but it does have a 4.0 liter engine that provides plenty of power. I do find after a couples of hours, that the seat starts to get my back sore. The full size spare has come in handy as I've gotten a couple flats on the highway. The under seat storage under the back seat is perfect size for the beach tools I have to carry for driving on the beach.

My husband bought this truck as a second truck. His first truck is a large truck that has a four-wheel drive, and he uses it for "boy" stuff. The Nissan Frontier is a great gas saver, whereas the "big boy" truck isn't. He uses it to drive back and forth to work and has used it to haul furniture and appliances for friends. My husband's is a king cab, and he is also able to take our older children with him when he goes places in it but not our younger children, as you can't fit car seats in a king cab.
