still no change to the 2005 Nissan.

Nissan announces U.S. pricing for 2018 Frontier - Frontier - Nissan Online Newsroom

Ya, I'll just keep the one I have a few more years. Why spend 30k for a truck that looks like the one I already have? After that who knows, maybe they'll have a new model or maybe I'll go with a different brand. Idk!

Why spend 30k for a truck that looks like the one I already have?

Because the actual selling price is 5-8 grand less than any other brand.

If you're looking for a replacement truck, that price advantage definitely makes it worth considering.

Toyota and GM dealers are still WAY too proud of their small trucks - And Ford won't be giving away their new Rangers, either.

If they'd put a diesel engine and new electronics in the current Frontier, I'd buy one. Actually, just the diesel would do it for me, I can always go aftermarket on the goodies. The styling is fine, the size is good, if it keeps the price down I'm good with keeping this body style.

Exactly! I just replaced an F150 4X4 with a '17 Frontier King Cab SV 4X4. Saved about $8K, got power everything, heated seats, backup camera etc., and I can deal with a smaller bed for that. I LOVE this truck BTW.

Couldn't agree more. Granted I have a 2015 Pro4x with some of the newer creature comforts, I love everything about the current design aside from lack of a diesel option. Regardless, the value this truck provides in the midsize class is not matched and is why I bought it.

Eh, I'll buy my wife a new car soon and wait to see what comes out for me in a few yrs.
Although you're right, Toyota and GM are over priced.

Comparing MSRPs:

Am seeing Nissan is now charging a nearly $1k premium for 6-sp in CC SV 4x4 trim vs CC SV 4x4 AT + VTP. (VTP items are Standard Equipment w/ 6-sp in SV trim, FYI)
~ CC SV 4x4 6-sp is $360 less than a CC P4X 6-sp.

 

[93hardbody]

This type of truck would have been nice, not for everybody, but it's all I wanted in a truck (except cheap Indian build quality). Diesel, 7 foot bed, good ground clearance, not many features but designed to be rugged.

 

[shift_RUSH]

Noticed that ALL trim levels, including 'S' & all 4cyl iterations, come w/ RearView Monitor for 2018.

Sonar is still an SV/VTP item and is standard on SV/6-sp, P4X and SL.

Let's just go back to 1995 instead... I still like the Hardbody style:

 

[smj999smj]

Yeah, bring back the Hardbody style, but king cabs and crew cabs only and fitted with the VQ40DE and choice of 5-speed automatic or 6-speed manual. I see a hit!

I saw crew cab hardbodies in the Philippines when I was on vacation years before the crew-cab style was here in the U.S. And trust me, the hardbody crew-cab wasn't that pretty. :surprise:

However, I still wouldn't mind having a V6 RWD Hardbody King Cab long bed (with the cool, unique side windows that went up to the roof), specifically model year 95-98 (these later models had a more modern, redesigned dash) ::wink::

Or how about they add the Titan V8 as an option. Seems a rather easy install, no brainer. That would definitely keep the completion at bay.
A factory warrenteed V8 Frontier!

This is why Nissan isn't in a hurry to refresh the Frontier.
Why mess with a relatively recall free/complaint free model?

Its not for the looks. I would love to have a 2017 to replace my 06. In fact I like the look.

I drove a rental HB CC in Mexico with 10+ people in it once. That was fun.

I owned a i4 RWD KC HB truck. My buddy still drives it. Always wished it was a 4wd, and drove it like it was. Really taught me how to recover a stuck vehicle.

Frontier S Crew Cab 4x2 SWB V6 6MT $24,300 USD
Frontier S Crew Cab 4x2 SWB V6 5AT $25,350 USD

Not too much more than retail for my 2013 V6 2WD Crew Cab. Frankly, that is a whole lot of vehicle and practical utility for ~$25k. Move 5 humans, a load in the back, and reasonable towing capacity. The big hit is fuel economy, which is similar to a full-sized pickup. The reason to go mid-sized is due to initial cost/outlay of +50% and/or size considerations.

An I-4 turbo diesel would be the bee's knees. Or would be if the EPA had not destroyed a good deal of the diesel's advantages with its strang-u-lations. Diesel power and torque delivery is just a better solution for trucks than gasoline.

Loved my last-year (1997) king cab hard body. No V6 available that year, but I really didn't need it with that good I4. I got 185k mostly trouble-free miles and 14 years out of it until another driver hit me and totaled it.

As for getting new, mine is barely broke in with 91k miles. In 3-4 years it goes to one of my kids to drive throughout HS and college.

Just bought a 2017 SV king Cab I4 for 20,200 out the door. For my son.

This was one of the reasons why I went with Nissan instead of Toyota or GM. Plus, it was cheaper to buy and got everything I wanted.

In the last year or two I have been seeing more new-ish Frontiers on the road. Maybe because of discounts/incentives, or just hitting the sweet spot, cash-wise. My previous Nissan, a 1997 Hardbody, was also purchased at the end of its life cycle.
