2014 Nissan Frontier Vehicle Review

DREXEL HILL NISSANWWW.DREXELHILLNISSAN.COM

The compact pickup segment has shrunk severely over the last decade, with few truly compact pickups left. Even those names which once rode on small trucks are up-sizing, including the Chevy Colorado. The Ford Ranger is gone. But the Nissan Frontier remains, though it too has grown over its lifespan. 

Other than the Frontier and GM's new offering, the main alternative is the Toyota Tacoma. While the much newer Colorado offers many upgrades to the Frontier's capabilities and feature set, the Frontier remains a comfortable, traditional take on the segment. The Frontier is showing its age, however, having seen only minimal updates since 2005. Improvements for the 2014 model year help recalibrate its comfort and convenience, but the style remains the same. 

2014 Nissan Frontier

The 2014 Nissan Frontier gets a range of upgrades and trim changes to improve over the value of last year's model, including heated front seats with the SV VTP package; heated cloth front seats are now standard on PRO-4X models and optional on SV models. Bluetooth phone and audio is standard on S models; navigation enhancements including smartphone integration and improved voice recognition; and NissanConnect Apps functionality.

Under the hood, there's a choice of a 261-horsepower, 281-pound-foot 4.0-liter V-6 engine or a 152-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder. The V-6 is the star of this show, with pep and pulling power that's almost equal to some smaller V-8s. Improvements to the engine's internal components last year reduced friction and boosted gas mileage slightly (along with minor aerodynamic improvements), helping to keep the V-6 competitive. The four-cylinder is fine for the commuter who occasionally needs a pickup, but it's ill-suited to heavier duty. Both 4x2 (rear-wheel drive) and 4x4 drivelines are available as well.
