What owners say
"Overall, owners have a positive view of the 2006 Nissan Frontier, praising its reliability, solid build, and excellent performance both on and off-road. Many drivers enjoy its handling, acceleration, and towing capability, while others mention issues like less interior space and average fuel economy. The common sentiment is that it is a fun and capable truck, albeit with some minor drawbacks."
The one I drove had a special ordered stick shift. Amazing performance probably much faster than any truck needs to be. Great offroad and has good visibility for a truck. Reliable and has many cool features.
February 23, 2008Best pickup in it's class! This truck is a great overall mid-size truck. If you want a nice looking, good performing, solid truck for work or for yourself, and you don't want to spend over 20K on a new car, then this truck's for you. I have one in black which I got for 18K. Lots of hp for the size of the truck. The interior could be a little more comfy- neoprene is a bit scratchy. Rockford fosgate system with sub is amazing, and bed system/ bed extender is a must.
July 13, 2008This truck is good in every aspect; from driving in town to off-roading. I had absolutely no trouble off road in this truck. I would definitely buy this truck again and I would always recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable truck.

April 16, 2014I liked the reliability, strength, speed and handling of the truck. Very easy, comfortable truck to drive with very good four wheel drive. The only thing i wish is that the box on the truck was bigger for more storage.
December 30, 2013Performance : Amazing on and offroad Build Quality : No repairs neede Appearance : It is a bit bland Cost of ownership : Very cheap . Feule consuption is not to bad Fun factor : Very exiting to do offroad with . Not bad on tar either
July 27, 2009Very stable on the road. ABS is very active get engaged very often for me. Inside and out is tough looking. Excellent suspension, awsome gas millage about 17/18 mpg on highways. No maintance was done yet other than oil change. Only drawback is engine noise, a little loud.
December 12, 2008Yes. I’ve owned Nissan vehicles since 1998 and always reliable
February 14, 2023Easy to drive and especially to park compared to full size truck. Good for light cargo up to 1,000 lbs and can tow up to 6,300 when equipped with a tow hitch. Great to handle most jobs a truck would be required to do without breaking the bank compared to the cost of a full size.
February 20, 2015even towing over 2 tons drives like a dream. the last truck i will ever buy
April 22, 2008Overall, the truck is well-built and feels solid. It is an excellent truck for small to medium sized jobs. It has good power and towing capacity. Other than the below average fuel economy, I have been happy with the vehicle.
