With Nissan on the rocks right now, is the manufacturer or dealer offering any incentives ?

I'm considering a 2013 Frontier SV extended cab 4x4. The cab feels more comfortable to me than my Dad's 2003 Tacoma ex cab 4x4. Thanks for the info and links.

Cant help on the Frontier, but I had a 2014 Nissan Sentra. Besides the schitty CVT trans which I had to have replaced ($4000+) it was a wonderful car. It only failed me one time. I had a coil go out on the way to work. Simple fix, sold the car with 241k on it and going strong. It was a great commuter.

I work for an agriculture company in the southeast US. We do a lot of work in TN and MS where many of the trucks (Frontier and Titan) are/were made. Upper management felt like it would look good for us to drive locally produced trucks when the prices started increasing so much on the Fords and Chevys. We use them exclusively, and have been since 2017. All Frontiers and all crew cab 4x4. They have a pretty hard life in the fields, and have held up better than ALL of the other brands we have used which includes Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge. This is just my experience as I have been a regional manager and have to keep maintenance up on all of them since 1997. I usually put 60K+ miles a year and some guys more, so we usually replace about year 3. Now were replacing about year 5, and I still have some spare 2017's in use. I'm currently in a '22. I have also owned 6 Nissans of my personal use, 4 Trucks (me) and 2 cars (children). I'm currently running as a personal vehicle a 2022 Titan XD 4x4 Pro 4X.
They may not be the best, attractive or most flashy vehicle on the road by any means, but I would argue that they are tough as nails, very few drivetrain issues, lots of power, and very reasonably priced for today's market compared to Toyota or the big 3. My last Titan came with a 100,000 mile powertrain warranty, but sadly they discontinued the XD models in 2024.
Best of luck locating one. The last few we sold last winter (2017's) were high miles and pretty rough, but fairly sound mechanical wise. They sold at 9K each.

I brought home a 2013 SV 4x4 extended cab (I believe the Nissan terminology is King cab) last Tuesday. 95 mile ride home was quite comfortable, ride was very nice compared to my F250. I'm considering getting a Softopper for it and am thinking about floor mats for mud/snow protection. I'll try to get some pictures up.

The Frontier is a great truck. My favs are the 2nd Gen. Here's my 2018 SV 4x4. I've done the following mods: Pro4X skid plates, 2.5" strut lift, SPC upper control arms, Firestone airbags, Decked drawers, 33" Falkens, NISMO roof rack and a 40Watt GMRS radio. She's got 80K on the clock now. ![[Linked Image from photos.smugmug.com]](https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-XtxSPCz/0/NMzjN2JnDkfvxCrbN65RXb5Hj9rPKwV2rjX25N2qP/X5/i-XtxSPCz-X5.jpg)

I agree about the 2nd gen, but my Hardbody SE with the 3.0 and 5 speed manual was my favorite. That's a beautiful truck there!

Motor pic of my Frontier. She's a bit pampered... lol ![[Linked Image from photos.smugmug.com]](https://photos.smugmug.com/photos/i-SJHLtXG/0/LbcGBWB7DzkHfcT98hMcdP55bCRkQn69Khfm5B8Mh/X5/i-SJHLtXG-X5.jpg)

That's as nice a Frontier as I can remember seing, VMaxSplat. Well done. I had a Hardbody V6, 5 spd, King Cab back in the '90's that served me very well. I'd not be ashamed to own another.
