2005 Nissan Frontier SE review from North America

"Get one"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing. Not one thing ever went wrong.

OK, that's not true, the little spring clip that holds the fuel door closed came off. I put it back on.

Tires lasted 55k miles.

General comments?

Best truck I've ever owned. After I blew up my third Dodge Dakota (I'm hard on trucks), I went back to Nissan after a wonderful experience with a 300zx. Nissan just knows how to make stuff last (Z had 172k when I sold it)

Unloaded with my right foot acting reasonably I could eek 20mpg out of the truck. And it had enough power to pull four race bikes AND all of our gear out to Reno with no trouble.

Only reason I sold it was I could no longer afford the payments (laid off). Fortunately I sold it to a friend who seems to love it just as much.

Interior held up beautifully, especially considering the abuse it took cramming gear and a restless dog in and out. It's a little plain to look at, but functional and disassembles easily for cleaning.

The fold out bed extender is way more useful than I ever thought it would be. My next pick up will have one.

More power, better handling than a comparable Tacoma.

My ONLY gripes are:

1) No key hole in the passenger door. if you don't have remote locks, you have to unlock from the driver door every time.

2) No limited slip differential unless you get the NISMO package. Too much power for a pick up to NOT have a limited slip in my opinion.
