Howdy! Looking at a 2006 Frontier. Help/Reviews!

Hi all,

I'm Kyle, from Houston, Texas. I'm looking at a 2006 Frontier NISMO 4x4, with the 4.0 V6, 5-speed automatic transmission and 92,000 miles. It's double cab, white exterior and black interior.

I've never owned a Nissan and don't know to many people that have Frontiers. I'm looking for reviews of owners, not so much of the 4x4 part, but of the VQ series engine and transmission.

I work in the pool industry and drive a lot (20,000 miles/ year) and wanted to know if mileage is an issue with these trucks. With regular maintenance, how long do these trucks last?

Thanks

Welcome Kyle,

The 2nd gen trucks are great, but do have issues! The 2 bigs one's for the truck your looking at would be. 1)Radiator/transmission cross contamination. (Auto)

2) timing chain tensioner failures

If you search the sight you will find out all the info you need on these issues.

Good luck
