2000 Nissan Frontier Desert Runner XE review from North America
"A wonderful value if purchased as pre-owned vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Passenger door lock control does not operate properly. It did not control the lock manually, but does work with the automatic remote.
General comments?
Interior room gives a large truck feel with relatively easy access to all controls.
Extended cab is best used as a storage area.
Off-road handling is remarkably responsive at both medium and high speeds.
Body graphics on Desert Runner are hard to keep presentable, the pin striping being the hardest to maintain.
