How reliable / good are the new Nissan Frontiers?
>>28491068 (OP)>How reliable is this new model that hasn't been on the market long enough to start breaking down yet?This is how retarded you are.
>>28491095It's been out 3 years and there are trucks out there with 150K + miles
>>28491091Explain
>>28491068 (OP)I think they're fine. With Tacomas dropping the v6, the Frontier is probably your best bet. I own a '19, and it's definitely not one of the newer ones, but I've never had a problem with it. Nissan put a proper transmission in it so you should be fine. See what lease options you have, they usually go for cheap.
>>28491146um isn't the frontier still on a 20 year old design
>>2849117010 year old design - weird how they won't turn the new pilot into a new ridgeline
admittedly the ford ranger is 14 years old
chebby colorado is newest smol pickup i wanna say the platform dates to 2017 ish
I’ve had one for two years but haven’t put anywhere near enough miles on it to judge reliability, thoughever
Pros:
>Nearly identical frame carried over from last gen so it’s proven
>NA 3.8 VQ
>transmission while built by jatco albeit, is a Mercedes design
>All physical and usable controls, nothing integrated into the screen
>No EPS, regular hydraulic steering rack
>models up to early 2023s have no auto start/stop feature
Cons:
>Nissan’s signature electrical issues very likely to occur
>less aftermarket than Tacoma/ranger/rado
>pretty pathetic MPG (if you care)
>GDI
>outdated mechanical water pump
>2025s got a price hike so they’re no longer the much cheaper truck than a taco
>>28491340>>Nissan’s signature electrical issues very likely to occurWhat kind of issues and how much to fix?
>>28491068 (OP)Do these POS trucks still have horribly designed UCA that contact the coil bucket at full extension?
Nissan engineers are like the D students that barely graduated. Fucking idiots.
>>28491883This is not a problem unless you are modifying the suspension
>>28491068 (OP)If they were reliable and good fleets would be using them. Also what's with sucking off a V6 with questionable reliability, no power and V8 fuel economy? I'm all for simple engines and hate 4cyls in heavy trucks but you might as well just use a 4cyl at that point.
>>28491894I've already seen fleet spec frontiers around, mainly see landscaping companies and auto parts places use them.
>>28491170Why is Honda packaging little rotund Italians into their trucks
>>28491170So cute. Honders are cute.
>>28491883They do it intentionally so they can charge for fixing it.
>>28492537Pshhh, check the ratio of the transfer case...
