2003 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab Consumer Reviews

Bought a 1999 regular cab 90 days ago with 56000 on the odometer. 2nd owner. Let's start with styling. I absolutely love the body style to include the shape of the front end. Absolutely beautiful. I also like the fact that in the box it has notches to put 2X4's to keep small items in place. Bench seat I like and it is all stock right down to cassette. Crank windows, sliding rear window, and surprisingly comfortable for a guy who is 6'1. It seats 3 which equates to 2 adults and a child in the middle. Being an automatic no problem hauling a child. Has built in drink holder for 2 which is nice. I am able to fit small hand tools behind seat just incase. Easy to change oil on and old enough to do routine maintenance on without a problem. I do not see many of these 1st generation Nissans in my area but the few small parts I have needed have been readily available. Acceleration is surprisingly good and this little truck drives like a car. Easy to maneuver into any parking lot. I would highly recommend. You will not win any Indy 500 races, but for style, reliability, simplicity, and pricing, you cannot go wrong.

One owner, has been well maintained. If something needed fixed it was fixed. Recently (3/6/23) new distributor, plugs and wires. Tires less than 10K with brand new spare. Transmission replaced 18 months ago. Battery 14 months old. Complete front brakes one year ago, new master window switch last winter. Have 20 yrs of receipts from oil changes to exhaust. Has running boards, window vents, dash mat, matching topper and new sun visors. I bought it new and has been my go anywhere vehicle for road trips, to/from work, mileage is highway miles.

i loved my 01 frontier crew cab. comfortable, dependable and great to drive. this truck is easy to work on and starts every time you need it. the only thing that i wish it did better was get a little better gas mileage but its the same as the other mid sized v6 trucks so its not a negative, just something i wish. great looking truck too

Good truck for everything hauling tAke it fishing do everything and anything great truck to have looked to get another

I bought mine a couple months ago. The previous owner used it as a farm truck, so it had seen some serious wear and tear. The gas tank has trouble filling, the high-pressure power steering hose gave out, the brake calipers had a leak, and she had trouble starting, but the engine kept going no matter what. This little truck is almost unkillable. The stock sound system isn't great, but it's easy to swap out, and the ride is excellent. Fuel economy is a pretty consistent 16 mpg in the city, but it can go up to about 20 mpg on the highway. As far as acceleration, it's pretty quick out of the gate but struggles a little at higher speeds. Lots of low-end torque. It's great for hauling, and it can reliably tow a much larger truck as far as you need to. I managed to tow my buddy's '09 Silverado with no issues. It is a bit small, so if you're above 6' you might have some trouble getting in and out, but it sits pretty high off the ground. The seats are comfortable, but it doesn't have too many features. This is a truck that excels at being a truck, and doesn't really try to do anything else. If you're just looking for a reliable utility vehicle, it's a great value for the money. If you want comfort, good fuel economy, and all the bells and whistles, I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

This truck is part of our family. Bought it about 17 years ago from the Nissan dealership I worked for at the time. It’s been nothing but reliable since I’ve owned it. I drove a 22 Frontier last week and it was nice but I’ll take my basic truck any day.

This truck as good it gets mostly highway miles dependible

Very good on gas comfortable for my 6'4 grandson
