Why it stands out

The 2021 Nissan Frontier stands out as the final year of the second generation, and it benefits from the most important update that arrived for this generation: a new 3.8-liter V6 paired with a nine-speed transmission. That powertrain gave the Frontier 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, and it helped make the truck a stronger and more capable workhorse than earlier versions. It also remained a relatively affordable pickup in its class, which has long been part of its appeal for buyers who want utility without stretching their budget too far.

Even in its last year, the Frontier still showed the strengths that helped it endure for so long. It was described as a strong and dependable workhorse, and owners have given it favorable reviews overall. The truck also offered respectable towing ability, with the generation’s maximum rated capacity reaching 6,500 lbs, and the 2021 model averaged around $22,500 on the used market. At the same time, it was not the most refined choice in the segment: the Frontier was less spacious than some rivals, and some owners have criticized the transmission for not shifting smoothly and for producing wheel hop.
