CarGurus Analysis: 2017 Nissan Frontier

Summary
With 68 currently listed for sale and an average price of $12,644, 27.9% of 2017 Nissan Frontier listings on CarGurus are rated as good or great deals.
Favorably reviewed: Owners rated the 2017 Nissan Frontier 4.08 / 5 stars.
83.8% of 2017 Nissan Frontier listings on CarGurus are accident free.
Why it stands out
The 2017 Nissan Frontier stands out as a value-oriented midsize pickup that had already been on the market for a long time by this point, yet still appealed to buyers who wanted a dependable work truck with a lower price than some rivals. It was part of a generation that had grown into the midsize class, and the Frontier’s appeal came from its straightforward nature, versatility, and reputation for being a reliable pickup. Owners also tend to praise it for comfort, a good ride, and durability.
For 2017, the Frontier’s strengths were its rugged usefulness and broad capability. The truck offered a 3.8-liter V6 paired with a nine-speed transmission, and fuel economy was rated at 19/24 mpg city/highway for the rear-drive model and 17/21 mpg with four-wheel drive. The Pro-4X trim added off-road hardware such as Bilstein shocks, underbody skid plates, and a locking rear differential, while standard safety equipment included front collision mitigation, lane departure warning, a blind-spot monitor with rear cross-traffic alert, rear automatic braking, and adaptive cruise control. A newer infotainment system was also part of the package, along with Android Auto connectivity and an available wifi hotspot.
That said, the 2017 Frontier was not the most spacious or refined choice in its class. It lacked rear passenger space compared with some midsize rivals, and some models did without a telescopic steering column. The truck also was not as fuel efficient as some competitors, and its styling was described as generic. Even so, for buyers who wanted an affordable, capable pickup with proven toughness and useful off-road credentials, the 2017 Nissan Frontier had a clear and practical appeal.

4.0L v6 from Nissan runs like a top even at 150k miles. The rear differential relief valve is a common failure point and needs to be modified from factory. It's an easy fix though.

It was exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I was unable to make a purchase at this time because of an illness in the family.

I felt that the Frontier 4x4 King Cab was a great value for a small truck and exactly what I hoped when I purchased it. I have had older model used 2WD Frontiers for 18 years and this was a nice step up.

Owners repeatedly highlight its value, comfort, and durability, and many also describe it as a reliable pickup with a good ride. That fits a truck aimed at buyers who want a straightforward, versatile work vehicle rather than a more refined or feature-heavy alternative. With 30.5% of listings marked as good or great deals, you have room to shop selectively.
Is the 2017 Nissan Frontier reliable?
Owners rate it 4.1/5, a solid signal of long-term satisfaction.
Owner feedback emphasizes that the truck is durable, reliable, and a vehicle many people feel they can count on over time. The same themes show up in comments about comfort and a dependable ride, which reinforces its reputation as a practical ownership choice. For used buyers, the main long-term risk is less about the truck’s core toughness and more about finding one that has been maintained well and hasn’t been worn down by hard use.
What should I look for when buying a used 2017 Nissan Frontier?
At 60.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
You should start with a vehicle history report so you can separate clean examples from trucks with accident records. After that, prioritize a thorough inspection of the body, frame, suspension, and interior wear, since these areas can reveal how hard the truck was used. Focus on overall condition and maintenance evidence, because a work-oriented pickup can vary a lot from one listing to the next.
Is now a good time to buy a used 2017 Nissan Frontier?
This looks like a moderate, selective buyer’s market, so you can shop patiently and still find worthwhile options.
- Deal availability: 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- Inventory: There are 886 listings available.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Clean inventory: 60.9% of listings are accident-free.
If you find a listing below $15,613, that's toward the low end of the year-round range and worth acting on quickly.
What is the 2017 Nissan Frontier's resale value?
The current average of $16,169 sits slightly above last year's $16,043.
That small increase suggests the Frontier has held its value fairly well in the near term. For a future seller, that kind of stability can be helpful because it points to steady buyer interest rather than sharp depreciation. The truck’s value-oriented reputation and practical appeal should continue to support demand, especially among shoppers looking for an affordable midsize pickup.
Vehicles with solid owner satisfaction ratings, like this model year's 4.1/5, tend to retain buyer demand, which supports resale value over time.
Should I buy a 2017 Nissan Frontier or consider a different year?
If you're weighing the 2017 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:
Choose the 2017 if:
- 30.5% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
- At 60.9% accident-free, a meaningful share of listings has prior incidents — history verification is especially important.
- Price trend: Prices have held steady compared with last year.
- Owners rate it 4.1/5 — a solid satisfaction signal.
Consider the 2016 if:
- At $15,223, the 2016 costs less than the current year's $16,169 average.
- It appeals to buyers who want a simple truck with a few small updates rather than a major redesign.
The bottom line: If you want the stronger current-market balance of price stability, deal availability, and owner satisfaction, the 2017 is the better starting point. If your priority is spending less upfront, the 2016 is the more budget-friendly path and still keeps the Frontier’s straightforward, durable character.
