The Best & Worst Years of the Nissan Frontier

The Nissan Frontier has always been a bit of an underdog. While everyone seems to be chasing a Toyota Tacoma or checking out the latest Ford Ranger, the Frontier quietly goes about its business without making much noise. It doesn't have the biggest fan club, and it rarely steals the spotlight, but that's exactly why so many used truck shoppers end up loving it. It's often cheaper than its rivals, it's built to take a beating, and if you pick the right year, it'll probably outlive your favorite pair of work boots. Of course, not every Nissan Frontier is a home run. Some years are as dependable as your grandmother's cast-iron frying pan, while others can become a full-time sponsor of your mechanic's vacation fund. If you're shopping for one, knowing which years to avoid can save you thousands of dollars and a whole lot of frustration.
