Was it hard for you to find this truck? I'm looking for one in night armor, with the LE value pkg, steel leather and a moon roof. Apparently there is not a new one in the country! I guess I'll wait until the '11's come out and see if one can be found. Here I was getting excited about being a frontier owner, but I'm going to have to wait.:(

The LWB is hard to find in general and then you want it in an LE over an SE will make it even more rare. Then you want to add a specific package on top, it is going to be even harder to find.

I would suggest that if you are that specific, you need to just bite the bullet and order one. It will take some time to make and deliver but it will be exactly what you want.

talk to another couple of dealers just to make sure the one that told you that there were none was not lying to you to try and get you to buy one on their lot. Have these new dealers do a search for the truck. they can search all over the country if they have to to find your truck. My dealer just did this for me last month when I needed to find my truck.

I have contacted 5 dealers within about 75 miles of me, and only 3 of them replied back. The closest one said I can order one and get the current rebate. Another said an order could be placed, but if so many weren't order in that configuration it probably wouldn't be produced. I'll work on them for a couple more days, and see what happens.

If you ordered one it would take 3 months which I did. They will build for you and doesn't need to be in a group order. I doubt you could order a 2010 at this time anymore.
You need to determine if the dealer is talking factory order, or a dealer network locate.
Just so you know nissan leather isn't anything to write home about as the majority of the seat is vinyl and not leather. Personally I'd buy Katzkin seat covers Katzkin Leather Interiors | Makers of ready to install interiors for most automobiles, sport utility vehicles, and trucks and put them on.

The quality of the leather seating 'surfaces' is as good as in most other vehicles in the price range of the Frontier. The vinyl is used for the headrests/restraints, seatbacks (front seats) and minor vertical areas (seat cushion sides/backs). Most of the rear seat area, including the fold down armrest is covered in leather. I looked at the Ford Explorer Sport Trac before chosing the Frontier (a wise choice) and nearly all the rear seat area was vinyl! So, depending on your expectations, the leather in the Frontier is more than worth the expense. Aftermarket may provide a better quality but will the fit/look meet your standards.

Regardless of the type of seating surface, I have nothing but praise for my 2010 Frontier.

I understand your opinion but a Katzkin set of seat covers fit like a glove and way better grade of leather. You'd be surprised how perfect they fit.
After my last frontier le and titan le with leather I wouldn't buy Nissan leather again. But that's just my personal observation.

You're correct these trucks do deserve only praise. All four of my Frontiers have been nothing but dependable.

My truck was the only one on long island when i purchased it back in late november. there were LE's with the full package you want but all short beds. the long bed in my opinion is totally worth it. good luck on your search

I don't have an LE, but I can tell you that even the SE's are hard to find...I talked with both of my local Nissan dealers in Albuquerque looking for my truck (see my sig) and they both told me the only option was to order it from the factory....one salesman even had the audacity to call it a "unicorn"! I had to call around to dealers out of state and finally got lucky and found one in Flagstaff that had just been delivered. 2 other people tried to buy the truck before I got there the next day. I don't know why Nissan didn't make more CC's with the LWB option....anyways, good luck with your search! BTW isn't Nissan discontinuing the option to have a CC with a long bed in 2011?

^---That would also be my suggestion.
If you are going to be particular about the package/options this is one way to ensure you get exactly what you want with no compromises.

I did find a dealer last Friday that would order me a 2010, and I got a call today the 2010's can't be ordered anymore. However they are going to give me the exact deal minus whatever the price increase is for the 2011. Salesman said it might be a couple hundred dollars. So hopefully sometime in Sept. I'll be driving a new Frontier.

Can the '11 be ordered yet? Orders only go in the first week of a new month and will take approx. 8-9 weeks. Good luck.

When I bought mine there were only 3 navy ones east of the Mississippi. I asked about ordering one and the Dealer didn't seem to keen on it. Luckily they found mine in eastern PA

Same here, when I looked for one of the LE in white, only found one or maybe two fully loaded, or I have to travel out state to get one, but not the color that I want. Seem kinda hard to get verything in one.

Like mentioned earlier orders for custom trucks are only once a month. It took 83 days to get my truck. 10 LE CC LWB moon roof value package and leather. I love it well worth the wait. As far as rebates they can only offer you whats available at the time of purchase. Don't let them tell you that you get what is offered now then. Another note that worked in my favor was what ever is on the sticker can not be removed by the dealer by law at least in florida. We agreed on a price and got it in writing and was signed by me and the dealer. Well when the truck came it had a hitch floor mats and bed divider and i did not order any of that and of course they tried to charge me for them but since i had in writing what was ordered and the agreed upon price they ate the extra cost. I told them them to just take it off the truck and later found out by law they cant. Good luck with your new truck.
