If you need a truck that hauls, tows and loves to get dirty, but don’t want to deal with the mass of a full-size pickup, the 2009 Nissan Frontier will impress you with its capability, utility and refined ride.
Even though the Frontier’s V6 is impressively smooth and powerful, if your workload – or playload – absolutely demands a big V8, then you’ll have to look elsewhere. Also, the Frontier does not offer a standard-cab model.
