Nissan is Offering Decent Deals on 2019 Nissan Frontiers

With news of the Jeep Gladiator’s price drops firing up the page views, attention should be turned to another truck in the midsized segment: the Nissan Frontier.

Unlike the Gladiator, the Frontier has been on the market for a long time. The mild 2020 update won’t be here for another few months, so the only player right now is the 2019 model. 2019 gave the Frontier a bigger touchscreen, making it more modern.

Locally, dealers are selling SV Midnight crew cabs (like the one above) for $7,000 off MSRP. Deals like this are rare for midsized trucks. For $24,000, you get a crew cab truck with a V6, heated front seats, a large touchscreen with Bluetooth and a backup camera, and an appearance that doesn’t look like a work truck.

These features seem sparse, but the competition isn’t much better. The Colorado and the Canyon don’t have a proximity system or push button start regardless of trim, and the optional safety technology is minimal. While the Tacoma has Safety Sense standard, a comparably priced one is a four-cylinder extended cab without remote locking. The lack of CarPlay is normal at $24,000 for midsized trucks.

If you’re wanting a proven truck and you don’t care about locking and unlocking your car with your pinky (unlike me), a new Frontier may be perfect for you.

I wish I had the means right now because I do believe these are a great buy

My dad didn’t fit.

If these had proximity and push button start and came in Metallic Blue after 2015, a Pro-4X or SL model would be my truck of choice.

I rented one for a few day in PA and I loooooved it. I don’t want or need a truck but it was probably in my top 3 rentals last year. (Edited to add, it was not the only truck I rented either.)

If you or a loved one have a pulse and a credit score of 5, then you’re approved!

I would, but it’s a Nissan.

That’s more features than my Taco came with, I’ll keep an open mind in a year when my lease is up. Spend $28k buying out the Taco, or, get a new truck like this. Thanks!

Shit 28k buy back on a taco lease? Mind if I ask MSRP and your monthly payments ?

I’m in the south. Everything is RWD or FWD. Good luck finding an AWD crossover that isn’t a Subaru.

Here’s a Nissan Rogue search I just did.

Kinja'd!!!

Rented two of these within the last few months. Good little pickups.

I checked one out extensively at the Chicago Auto Show a few years ago and liked it quite a bit. I’d take a King Cab with the V6.

Try finding a used Ranger Lariat or a used Tacoma Limited! Both of those have a ton of equipment and can be found for around $28 by next year.

Hmmm...cheapest blue crew Pro-4X w/leather is$30.6k. Not bad but still can’t see paying that even at the 0.9% for 36 (meh $700/month w/$8k down lol). I only paid $6k more for my new ZR2 (no dual zone, roof rack, fogs, or sunroof though), so still way too much for the Frontier IMO.

Also my ex and I bought a 2006 Xterra (new! - I even installed the cool flip up Garmin nav mount on the dash) and the damn Frontier still is virtually the same inside lol. I mean I knew that already but flipping through pics and jeez that’s jarring and ridiculous.

If the Ranger came with a sunroof, my discussions would probably revolve around one of those.

I owned a 2008 that I bought in 2009. Great truck. Really enjoyed it and would buy another. I don’t see any point in buying a new one though, used ones are identical, cheap, and reliable.

Yeah, but my Taco will only have 20k miles on it when the lease is up.. I could flip it and look for something else.

Mid Engine > Nibby

I don’t remember the exact price (I think it was $38k). I put $1k down and $366/month for 36 months. Sales tax here is 10% BTW. The dealer also gave me a third year of free maintenance, so I pay the lease, insurance, and gas. Believe you me, shop around for a Taco and the dealers aren’t willing to move much at all, however the truck doesn’t depreciate much either.

Yeah Toyota trucks really hold their value. I'm leasing a 2018 F150 with $49k MSRP and pay 372 a month with zero down. Figured a Tacoma or tundra would be similar

Also, my company gives me $425/month as a car allowance + 20 cents per mile. So I didn’t stress too much about the payments. I was aware two years ago when I leas ed the Taco that when the time was up to buy or walk away, the technology (what little it has) woul d be obsolete. Very capable and extremely reliable vehicle. I will never, under any circumstances , drive another Ford. They fucked me on their shitty transmission in the Focus and lost any credibility they may have had.

Nibby > Mid Engine

ooof that focus transmission was so bad... but I gotta say the 10 speed in mine is quite decent (Though it’s a GM/Ford joint venture)

pretty nice setup for your company to pay for your car

Damn lol it’s at least 50:50 for AWD here.

I will say though $28k isn’t bad for a mostly loaded 2019 with 4x4. Saw a couple in the 27k
