2000 Nissan Frontier XE 4x4 Extracab review from North America
"Good value for money, but slightly crude"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Limited slip differential clutches, entire differential replaced under warranty.
Heater control cable clip, repaired under warranty.
4x4 label and tailgate trim piece have been less than durable, have been replaced under warranty.
General comments?
This truck was purchased to replace a 1997 Toyota Tacoma. I would have purchased another Toyota but the huge price difference between equally equipped trucks made the decision easy. As it turns out the Nissan has been an excellent truck, easily a match for the Toyota for quality. The original equipment B F Goodrich Long Trail T/A are still on the truck and look like they will go another 10000 km.
