2007 Nissan Frontier Review
A longer available bed for Crew Cabs is the main 2007 news for Nissan's compact pickup truck. Frontier offers two cab styles. Extended-cab King Cabs have rear-hinged back doors that don't open independently of the fronts, flip-up rear seats, and a 6.1-ft cargo bed. Crew Cabs have a rear bench seat and a 5-ft bed. Both come in SE, LE, and NISMO trims; Kings also offer XE models. The King's 6.1-ft bed is newly available on SE and LE Crews. XEs have a 154-hp 4-cyl engine. Other Frontiers have a 265-hp V6. Manual transmission is standard: a 5-speed with the 4-cyl, a 6-speed with the V6. A 5-speed automatic is optional. All Frontiers are available with rear-wheel drive and all but the XE are available with 4-wheel drive. The 4WD system includes low-range gearing but should not be left engaged on dry pavement. ABS is standard. Front side airbags and curtain side airbags for both seating rows are optional. So is traction/antiskid control. The NISMO is named for Nissan's motorsports arm and comes with heavy-duty off-road equipment. A factory spray-in bedliner is available. Leather upholstery is an exclusive option for LE Crews and includes heated power front seats.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Compact Pickups offer a true-truck design in a relatively modest package. They are best suited for personal or light-duty use rather than commercial use, heavy hauling, or towing.

Our Best Buy is the Toyota Tacoma. Our Recommended picks are the Dodge Dakota and Honda Ridgeline.

New or significantly redesigned is the Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
News
Last redesigned for 2005, Frontier reportedly gets a freshening come model-year '08. We think the updates will be relatively minor. Meantime, Nissan has lately agreed to share some products and technology with Suzuki. One result is that Suzuki is expected to get a version of the Frontier for model-year '09.
