Used Nissan Frontier for Sale near Des Moines, IA
Nissan Frontier Overview
The Nissan Frontier started life as a compact pickup truck, but it's now closer to a mid-sized truck. It replaced the uncreatively named Nissan Hardbody Truck.
The Frontier is the latest in a long, distinguished line of Nissan mid-sized trucks. Nissan gets credit for many pick-up truck innovations, including the extended cab.
Nissan was the first automaker in the U.S. to offer a compact truck (the Frontier's predecessor), with Toyota following close behind. The Frontier was the first compact truck in the U.S. to offer a four-door crew-cab style as well.
The Frontier's latest redesign was for the 2005 model year, which is when it was reclassified as a mid-sized truck. It now has 265 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque, which makes its engine the strongest in its class. It shares many characteristics with its big brother the Titan. With its boxed frame and front grille styling, they are easily confused from a distance.

What people say
This was my 2nd frontier and our 9 Nissan vehicle we have purchased. I believe it is the best bang for your buck truck on the market. All Nissan vehicles are very quiet inside hardly no road noise. The drive is strong and have enough power for me. I prefer a long bed in the frontier because I am a man whom doesn’t just drive a truck I need to be able haul stuff. Very happy with our purchase. You will be too!
Car is a great value for the price. It has many of the technology features I was looking for.
The best midsize truck is a loaded pro 4x is a few grand more than stripped down competitors. Seats are very comfortable ride is decent led headlights heated seats blind spot and other features that would cost you thousands more from competitors. I like the non turbo normally aspirated 6 cylinder still has 310 hp and less stuff to break. It’s the truck for me
Excellent vehicle, ended up with a Tacoma because we got an absolute steal on one (thanks to Cargurus), but were planning on getting the Frontier. 9 speed transmission is smoother and engine is more powerful than (3rd gen) Tacoma. Had an 08 Pathfinder that was very dependable and the Frontier seems just as good. 3.8 l powerplant has already been in use since 2020 and has shown good reliability. Mercedes 9 speed transmission is in use by this and a plethora of other vehicles and also seems to be reliable. Overall a great vehicle.
Great truck! Comfortable and surprisingly quiet. We love it,
