Look around the road, especially at older Frontiers, Tacomas and Rangers and they look like Tonka trucks. Compared to the current generation of small pickups, anything more than a couple years old is teeny-tiny.
The small pickup, like this Frontier, is about the size of 10 or 15 year old big trucks -- and full-size pickups today have become behemoths.
The Frontier share looks and a basic body platform with its big brudda' Titan, and the engine is no slouch 4.0L, 265-hp V6 with 248 lb-ft. of torque.
I happen to like the Nissan interior -- it's certainly conmfortable but the coarse-look patterning on the seats make it feel like you're driving in a truck. Like Titan, the Frontier offers an available high-utility bed that includes a factory-applied spray-in bedliner and the new Utili-track tie-down system first introduced on Titan.
The Utili-track system provides ultimate cargo hauling flexibility through the use of five special "C" cross-section rails mounted in the bed (two channels in the bed floor, and one each on the bed side rails and the bed header panel). Removable utility cleats slide into the channels, providing a wide range of attaching points for securing cargo.
