All the people I've asked say nothing of major concern. As you know 'major' can be interpetid in many ways.
So on that assumption I recently ordered an '06 Frontier NISMO 4x4 6spd. It's supposed to be here early June. I hope I made the right decision.
The bed width is about 2 inches wider on the Titan....and i have been told it will not fit the Frontier. But was also told that the 2007 Frontier will offer the utili-track overhead sliding rack. If anyone can offer any info on whether it will fit the Frontier....or if it indeed coming out for 2007 ,,,that would be much appreciated... :confuse: :confuse: :confuse: . :confuse: . :confuse:
What color is it?
Sounds nice. I saw a white, double cab, short bed Frontier the other day and it looked great too. I'm thinking about test driving one a week from today. I like the looks of the Frontiers better than those of the various Tacomas, F-series or GM offerings.
Wondering who makes it and whether it uses the utilitrack for install.
After years of driving 4 cylinder passenger cars, this is a huge departure for me. This is also my first Nissan. Here are some thoughts after a week with my truck.
First, I love this truck. Utterly. I wander into the garage just to touch it and make sure it's still there. I know, that is obsessive. But, I'm enamored. Where to start? It looks great. The paint is perfect and build quality is excellent. Tight panel gaps, like a Honda or a Toyota. The interior is functional and durable. Turn the key and the VQ40 literally bursts alive with a quick throttle blip. It sounds aggressive. On the road, it rides like a big, smooth SUV on good pavement and gets only slightly bouncy on broken roads. The ride is not harsh at all, which is surprising for the NISMO, which has factory off-road Bilsteins.
The steering is probably the greatest part of the driving experience: the steering is heavenly. Sports car tight, a little heavy (which I like) and although the turning radius is wide, Nissan couldn't have set it up any better for my taste. Unlike American trucks with so little feedback and ridiculously light wheel effort, the NISMO feels glued down. Nothing breaks the NISMO off from its intended path.
Oh yeah, and this thing hauls. I can be loafing in 6th gear at 65 on the highway, and easily pass without downshifting. It has loads of torque in every gear. Take off from a light, shift from 1st to 3rd, or even 4th; the truck doesn't care.
Clutch feel and action is very good; shifts are slightly long but hey, this is a truck. Coming from a Honda manual transmission, I've had to spend a little time adapting.
When you climb back out after driving, you almost forgot you were in a pickup.. but there's the bed, factory bedliner and all, waiting for you to.. haul something, I guess.
I don't really need this truck. But I'm glad I bought it because I haven't had this much fun driving in a long time.
So, you see, I'm ecstatic about my truck. If you're even remotely shopping small trucks, you owe it to yourself to test drive the Frontier. It seems that Nissan has launched a sleeper Tacoma killer. Car and Driver rated this thing above the Tacoma in a recent comparo. Drive it, buy, it, love it.
Not a Nissan dealer, employee, etc.. just a happy customer.

This afternoon I took a 2007 NISMO 4X4 for a test drive. The one that I drove was a white crew cab with an automatic transmission. It had a short bed, but included a bed extender and divider along with a roof rack. It didn't have a premium audio system or XM satellite radio. This particular truck rode and handled great for a pickup truck! I was very impressed with how quiet the cabin was at highway speeds as well. The only thing that I didn't particularly care for, and this is just my own personal nitpicking, was the material of the headliner. It just appeared a bit too cheap for my personal taste when you consider how much money a truck of this caliber costs. However, I could easily look over the headliner due to all of the many, many positive aspects of the truck that I noticed. The seats were very comfortable and their fabric had a really cool, rugged appearance to it.
I'm thinking very seriously about purchasing one of these trucks. It would be a major change for me compared to what I am currently driving the majority of the time, but I really do like the 4X4 NISMO crew cab.

My NISMO also has the very base audio package. Just 4 speakers, and an AM/FM/CD head unit. No MP3 playback, no satellite, no auxiliary input. My feeling is that a truck like the NISMO deserves an uprated audio system, standard. It wouldn't really cost Nissan all that much. Lesser vehicles have MP3 and satellite standard now. I'm not too worried, as I have already ordered a package from Crutchfield: Alpine CDA-9856 head unit, XM tuner box, iPod cable, and four Infinity Reference speakers. $450 for the package, and I like installing things so I should be OK.
I didn't ask the salesman whether or not the roof rack was a genuine Nissan part. On their Website I went in and did a 'Build Your Own' Frontier and the roof rack wasn't an option that could be checked on/off for the Nismo. But the one that I test drove most definitely had one on it. Also, I've seen a few around town the past couple of weeks that had a roof rack. Looks nice on the Nismo.

I noticed the 2007 froniter lost 4 Horse power compared to the 2006. It was 265 now is 261??? they did the same thing for Xterra too! What did they do? went to the SAE rating thing?
thinking about buying a 07 cc longbed at the end of the summer. Was wondering how everyone liked their Frontier? I owned an 86' nissan with no xtra cab,no power steering and no power locks/windows. That truck got me everywhere and never missed a beat!!(even survived hurricane andrew) It sounds like the write ups are all pretty good on it. Any suggestions on add on's or not and what seems to be the going price now for them. Thank's for everyones time!!

Or if your looking for a soft tonneau that doesn't interfere with utilitrac for a whole lot less try

i just bought a blue 2007 nismo frontier king cab. it has the 4 speaker standard stereo in it and i want to put an alpine in. how did the installation kit from crutchfield work out? i have read in their reviews that the dashboard kit has gaps and generally doesn't fit very well. can anyone confirm or provide a good alternative?
thanks,

Before removing the door panels I was wondering if anyone had any information on how many and what brand speakers are used in the 2007 Frontier?
Does NOT interfere with utili-track.
Can be installed in 1/2 hour or at most 1 hour by a novice.
Paid about $13,600 after selling the GMC.
Hope that helps.
Mine's the low buck basic stereo and I think people suspect Blaupunkt made the OEM speakers for it.
Having written this, I have not torn anything out so cannot verify.
Also, any word on what's next in the 08', and when is it coming out?
Nissan does seem to change things around a tad more than some other manufacturers, being somewhat less conservative I think, the 08 Titan has had some grille changes, perhaps a new color, the same can be expected for the Frontier. Mostly subtle stuff.
2005 was the first model year of the current Frontier.
2010-2011 is a good estimate for a totally new design.
Please help! I'm this close to cutting my losses and trading it in for a Toyota.
Also I read another message asking about prices and what people paid. The sticker on mine was $26,550. I got it for $25,000 and they took the $1,500 off that with the incentive so I ended up paying $23,500. Not great, but not bad. It's only a month old, has 1,500 miles on it, and I hate it! I'd take $21,000 now just to dump it off.
Thanks!
The only major change that I ever heard about was the rumor that Nissan was going to introduce diesel engines in the Titan, Frontier and March in US. This was around the time when the Cube was being considered for import. Same diesel as the Navarra for the Frontier and International was to supply the engine for the Titan. March and Cube were both canceled/postponed indefinitely, emissions regs. combined with a percieved lack of interest for diesel in a mid-size truck doomed the diesel for the Frontier and the heavy duty version of the Titan was canceled so there went the need for a diesel in the Titan.
Great sliding cover. I had one on a 2003 Frontier SC/LB. Locks up like a giant trunk, and slides out of the way when you need to load something big.
Thanks
Love the truck so far.
Enjoy!
