2000 Nissan Frontier SE review from North America
"A great truck for town or country"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have experienced no problems.
General comments?
I have driven the 2000 Nissan Desert Runner SE V6 since Sept 00 with 50 miles at purchase. First thing, I did after driving it from the dealer was to purchase wheel locks and a locking gas cap. Tailgate lock I had to order. Driving a Desert Runner gives a smooth ride and the wide tires (32psi) give great handling. The engine constructed of steel takes time to warm up before driving pleasure kicks in. Improvements I suggest are to replace the battery with Optima yellow top. Change engine oil with Valvoline 5W30 Full Synthetic oil for maximum performance. Change Air filter at least every 3k miles. I enjoy driving my Desert Runner day or night. I have 22k miles to date.
