The 1999 Nissan Frontier saw an important change, though it had just been redesigned the year before: the addition of an optional V6 engine in the KingCab models. Nissan had originally intended to offer the V6 in the redesigned Frontier, but it wasn't ready for 1998 and the automaker opted not to put off the new Frontier's release. The 1999 Frontier comes in three trims: the base model, the midrange XE, and the fully loaded SE. The three trims came in a variety of body styles, including an extended cab (KingCab), a short bed, 4WH, and a regular cab. All Frontiers came standard with a 2.4-liter, 143-horsepower four-cylinder engine that gets about 20/24 mpg in the standard cab and 18/21 for the extended cab. The KingCabs were available with a 3.4-liter, 170-horsepower V6, which got 15/19 mpg. Drivers are for the most part happy with their 1999 Nissan Frontiers, citing the truck's reliability and value as its best assets. Some drivers complain that the seats are uncomfortable and that the four-cylinder isn't powerful enough.
What owners say
Versatile, good bed size. 4 cyl engine very peppy. Fuel consumption so-so. Maintenance costs good. Very stable handling both when empty and carrying a load. Could use snow tires/chains for traction in snowy or icy conditions. Very sharp-looking, stylish.
October 10, 2011I love this truck, I use it as my daily driver and it always starts and in the 3 years I've had it I have never had an Issue with it. The only issue I have ever had is the fuel economy. For a small 3.3L V6 to get 15- 16 mpg i think is ridiculous. Especially considering the fact that the new 4.0L Frontier get about 19 mpg.

October 25, 2024no good acceleration,parts quality good,appearance no good, cost good,fun factor no good. NIssan customer service is the worst of all. Combining a car that has had some mecanical problems with terrible customer service is a non recommended combination.
