Well after my 92 GMC jimmy decided it was time to retire i headed out for a new truck. I was going to get something used like always but my wife said to get me something new. I looked at the Frontiers and Tacomas, only 2 i would consider. Loved both trucks, but nissan offered me a nice deal and toyota thought the exhaust out of the tacoma didnt stink. Sticker prices on 2010 SE cc 4x4, and the tacoma SR5 were almost the same right at $29,000. Nissan dealer gave me a deal of $23,700 with a dealer incentive of lifetime warranty on motor, powertrain. Toyotas best deal was $28,800. So for a difference of $5000 i had to go with the Frontier, i really love the truck it had like 26 miles on it. The first day i had it here we got like 14 inches of snow, i drove it for 3 days in the snow all in 4 wheel drive, worked wonderful. I figured my mpg and got 15.5 , i thought that was great for driving in 4 wheel drive. Well here comes my question, the following week i drove only to work which is 30 miles one way of 60 mph. After i filled up and figured my mpgs i was getting 15 mpg, huh. How did highway driving get less than driving around town in 4 wheel drive? Love my truck though. 2010 SE 4x4 cc,6cyl 4.0 lt auto, brick red.

Sound like you got a great deal. Welcome, and enjoy the new truck...

Congrats on the purchase. I didn't buy for mpgs. With this truck, the skinny pedal drains the tank. I get around 17mpg around town and 19-20 highway. All flat driving with cruise at, or near, the speed limit.

Welcome to the club. Keep an eye on your mileage.

I will say this, I have seen trucks on here that get bad mileage for the first few tanks as the motor breaks in. I don't know if that true, or holds any water. However, I've heard people mention their initial mileage suxs. I can get over 20 mpg if I'm doing just 60mph, so I think you'll be ok. Just keep an eye on it.

Maybe you got some bad winter gas...

Welcome to the club.

I'm guessing winter gas also.
I get 19.x MPG all summer and then drop to 17.x MPG in the cold months (city/highway combined).

thannx for the replies, not worried about mpg, just thought it was wierd how it worked out, service mng at the dealer told me that it would get less right now on the hgway due to the pistons are still swelling and havent seated in the motor yet. Im good with15-18 mpg thats what i was expecting. Ill get some pics on here soon.

I think you'll love your new Frontier. I've had Frontiers for the last ten yrs. Next vehicle I'm thinking maybe going different . . . . . Nope, forget it, I'll get another white one, the red I was thinking of is too bright. Welcome to CF.

(I'm sorry but either my computer has another giddy-witchit or I'm doing somethin wrong cause I didn't see any pics)

Welcome. If your lifetime powertrain warranty is the real deal you did well. I have the exact same truck and paid $22,400 (including tax, title, etc). So for an extra $1300 you got peace of mind for ever.

My bro-in-law bought a Ram and got the lifetime powertrain warranty, when did Nissan start doing it?

Welcome to Club Frontier. Your mileage will get and stay better. You won't regret buying it ever.
