2001 Nissan Frontier Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 2001 Nissan Frontier saw changes on the outside, inside, and under the hood. The exterior styling was revised to look more aggressive, and leather upholstery was available for the first time. Most notably, a supercharged 210-horsepower V6 engine was made available, marking the first time a factory-installed supercharged engine was offered in a compact truck. The 2001 Frontier comes in four trims: the XE, the Desert Runner, the fully loaded SE, and the Supercharged model. The trims came in a variety of body styles, including an extended cab (KingCab), the Crew Cab, a short bed, 4WD, and a regular cab. Most Frontiers, except the Crew Cab and Supercharged, 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 Crew Cab came standard with the 3.4-liter, 170-horsepower V6, which got 15/19 mpg and which was optional in the KingCabs. The Supercharged model came with a 3.3-liter 210-horsepower V6, getting about 15/18 mpg. Drivers are very enthusiastic about the 2001 Nissan Frontier, especially the Supercharged Crew Cab. Overall, drivers praise the truck for its reliability, good looks, and reasonable price tag. Some drivers complain about a lack of leg room and that the seats are uncomfortable, and many find the bed, especially in the Crew Cab, to be too small.

I loved it overall. The seats are manual, and the back seat is kinda small, and the moonroof sucks. But the rest of the truck is amazing. I love it to death, and I can't wait to upgrade it some moreMar 07, 2015

Great truck to handle small to med size jobs, like getting rocks or dirt for the yard, lumber etc.
Also great for getting to the outdoors like biking, hiking, camping, fishing, kayaking etc. Its a 4x4 so snow and mud is no problem and with 4 doors you can take your friends with you too.
It is small enough to fit anywhere and yet it has power to haul a trailer with a car on it.
Overall, it is just a great Truck!Oct 29, 2014

My friends who drove my truck would always remark about how quickly it accelerated! AND to me, compared to other trucks I have driven, this truck handled well - turned well, accelerated well, stopped pretty well. There are NO blind spots in this truck! With the tailgate down this truck has hauled two dirtbikes at once! And for three years in a row, it went to almost every USC home game as the tailgate vehicle. I was very happy with it, but I traded it in - sadly, it was time for me to move on and get something a little more sophisticated.Jan 13, 2014

Love the looks, the handling, dependability! Aside from changing a battery, timing belt, starter, and changing my oil, I have had this truck since 2001 and nothing else has gone down, oh and brakes have been replaced a couple of times.Dec 28, 2013

This has been a good truck all around, mine has over 200K on it and still going good. I still get complements on it's looks. Find that I wish it had a taller overdrive gear. Nissan charges way to much for their parts but after markets are becoming very available. It tends to be a bit nose heavy, it is a pickup, 200lbs of sand bags in the bed make it very drive-able. Changing the #6 plug is insane, some engineer should be slapped. Mar 04, 2013

I love the truck, but I want more power in it! Other than that it is a great running machine! It has plenty of space for me to pick up my son when I have him. It carries 5 people. Run's well, but could have a better gas mileage. Seems to be rusting quite a bit though.May 17, 2012

Just okay. Not great. reliable but with some cheap aspects. Really needs more low end grunt. Handles poorly. Wish it had cruise control.
It was a great value at $13.5k. Fuel economy is pretty good when empty, but a marked decline when there is anything in it.
It has done almost everything I've asked of it, but has never been a great vehicle. Its not a vehicle that I get into everyday and say to myself "nothing could be better."Feb 18, 2012

I've now had this truck about 10 years and I love it. It's assisted in over 10 moves (4 of me to and from college), hauls firewood yearly, hauls tools;dirt;gravel and anything else necessary for my home improvement projects. I even recently hauled a half cubit yard of gravel in it (though I'll probably never have that much weight in it again). For a 4 cylinder (2.5 L), it's got good power and great mileage (lightweight truck). Brakes are good. I've even had it down plenty of trails and off road. It's done great (for a 2wd). Only things I've had to replace are the battery (2006, now an Optima battery) and the catalytic converter (2010).Feb 17, 2012

performance- acceleration could be better, brakes the best, handling really good even in the ice.
build quality- good except for the plastic parts but good in general
appearance-this is how i fall for this car
cost of ownership- except when gas is high normal
fun factor the best four year of my life Jan 31, 2010

it has the 3.3L v6 with the automatic transmission. i overhauled the engine at around 150,000 miles. the transmission need to have a sift valve replacement. right now it will rev high and some times lag the sift from 2nd to 3rd. i found out the truck would kill the engine at 95 mph. instaled a scanner/programer and reprogramed the ecu to forget that. 2.75 inch exhaust with magnaflow high flow cats and summit racing mufflers. k&n cold air intake.i always give it a tune up every 25,000 miles or 4 months depending on driving conditions.i had to replace the factory suspencion with KYB gas shocks, and deaver leaf springs out back and coils up front. i replaced the upper and lower a-arms and all the bushings up front as well when i installed new brake rotors. it still makes the classic nissian truck turning grind or creacking sound, but not as bad. right now i have 31 inch geolander all terrains on it. they are ok. the truck is silver and dark gray but that fadded over time. not the best on gas only mybe 320 miles to a tank depending on the stuation. around town it kinda sucks but ok on highways. confortable front seats and if your cramed into the back im sorry. im impressed with how it handles offroad when im slamming it around or even jumping it. never got it stuck yet but almost hydrolocked it once. used it to pull a jeep out of an offroad park then used my bumper to push on the spare tire of the jeep and pushed it about 50 miles back home. so shes a good work horse and can still play on the weekends. i have loaded 3 dirt bikes, gear bags, and other things for a riding weekend and it still pulled up a grade.Apr 18, 2009

The Nissan Frontier is by far the best compact truck you can buy. My 2001 SE-V6 Model is great. It has a good engine, its not the most powerful but it gets the job done. It is a good looking truck as well, and can get the job done. The only regret is that is doesn't have 4WD or a supercharger. While the power is good nissan made a supercharged version that made 40 more horsepower, which would be nice. Gas mileage is terrible, driving conservatively i get 17 or less. The interior is also spacious but the backseat is not. Mar 24, 2008

Car won't move in Drive, acts like neutral
The truck won't move when I put it in drive in the mornings, but reverse works fine. I have to get it moving in 1 or 2 then warm it up to be able to use D. What's wrong?
