Nissan Frontier
The Frontier is proving to be an excellent truck, but it isn’t selling as expected. It shares its platform, albeit modified, with the Titan, and benefits from many mechanical elements used in its big brother. The 4-cylinder engine found in the basic version is efficient and economical, but the crew cab version’s V6 is at once smoother and more powerful. The Frontier can tow up to 3,000kg, which is better than most of its rivals.
