What Owners are Saying About the 2005 Nissan Frontier King Cab
"Comfort & Most Reliable"
"Best truck for the money. I have owned Toyota, Chevy, Dodge and Ford over the past 37 yrs and this Nissan Frontier has been my best investment. The ride is much smoother and more comfortable even when you have pot holes. There have been no mechanical issues and we use it for work and pleasure. Works great for hauling hay, feed and gravel as well as taking a boat to the lake."

It is currently on it's third set, yes, you read this correctly. This truck does't even wear out tires. Other that one front wheel bearing and the catalylic converters, it has been wonderful. Can't say enough good about it."
