Nissan Frontier Review
2010 Nissan Frontier
Price Range: $17,460 - $29,820

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Frontier to the dealership as the typical truck. As far as gas mileage, the average truck and the Nissan Frontier don't differ much. The Nissan Frontier doesn't pale in comparison to the average truck with respect to gas mileage. As far as MSRP, the Frontier costs considerably less than the average truck.

Utility
The average truck is a better choice than the Nissan Frontier regarding transporting cargo, especially if you frequently need to carry a lot of luggage or massive pets. Drivers with frequent child-duty might favor the Nissan Frontier over the average truck. The typical truck outpulls the Nissan Frontier by a big margin.

Convenience
The Nissan Frontier's fuel tank will need to be replenished more often than the unit in the average truck.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the average truck offers a bit more head room than the Nissan Frontier, there really isn't much of a difference. The ampler interior dimensions of the average truck make it significantly more spacious for your passengers than the Nissan Frontier.

Dimensions
The average truck is substantially heavier than the Nissan Frontier. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the typical truck than the Nissan Frontier because of its larger tank. The Frontier and the average truck compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their similar turning radii, the typical truck and the Frontier quite certainly handle roughly the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The Nissan Frontier's engine is tremendously smaller than the average truck's. Bear in mind that a smaller engine usually has to work a little harder; on the other hand, smaller engines typically get better gas mileage. Torque equals pickup, and the average truck will have picked up and gone by the time the Nissan Frontier finally gets moving. The average truck packs quite a punch compared to the Frontier as far as torque, which is the force that lets you accelerate quickly.

Warranty
Although the basic warranty that comes with the average truck is slightly longer than the Frontier's, the difference isn't too significant.
