The 2005 Nissan Frontier SE 4WD Crew Cab is a family-sized pickup with the extra bonus of 4-wheel drive for extra confidence in tough road and weather conditions.  Powered by a 265-hp, 4.0-liter DOHC V6 and a standard 6-speed manual (5-speed automatic optional), the Crew Cab seats four, with split-folding rear seats and a 5-foot bed.  The redesign added ten inches to the wheelbase for more stability, which is enhanced by the 4-wheel ABS brakes, the truck-like double wishbone independent front suspension, electronic brakeforce distribution, a tire monitor, and dual front airbags.  Side impact bags for both rows and traction control can be added for more confidence behind the wheel.

Air conditioning, intermittent wipers, a tachometer, CD player, tilt steering, and rear defrost are some standard features.  These can be supplemented with a sunroof, security system, cruise control, and full power setup.  The cargo bed comes with a bedliner, but is more versatile with the optional Utili-Trak rails, bed cover, bed extension, and roof rack.  A trailer hitch is also available.  Owners of the 2005 Frontier SE 4WD Crew Cab love the power, styling, and interior comfort, in addition to the extra eight inches of rear legroom.  A wide turning radius, easily-scratched plastic interior materials, and the 15/20 fuel economy are disappointments.
