Buyer's Guide: 2007 Nissan Frontier

For 2007, the Nissan Frontier receives a few changes, including the addition of Crew Cab SE and LE Long Bed models, featuring a bed more than 330 mm (13 inches) longer than the Crew Cab’s traditional bed.

The Frontier also receives an MP3-capable audio input jack, and front passenger seatbelt reminder light; a King Cab XE Appearance Package, which includes a chrome front bumper and 16-inch steel wheels; and a new exterior colour, Pebble Beach.

The Frontier comes in King Cab or Crew Cab configuration, and in two- or four-wheel drive. Engine choices are a 2.5-litre four-cylinder, or 4.0-litre V6 in King Cab models; Crew Cabs are strictly six-cylinder. The four-cylinder comes with a five-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic, the V6 with six-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic.

Even the base XE King Cab comes well-equipped, with air conditioning, cloth seats, CD player with four speakers, floor mats, folding rear jump seats, tire pressure monitor, four-wheel ABS with electronic brake distribution, 15-inch steel wheels, sliding rear window, and variable intermittent wipers. The SE V6 adds alloy wheels, and power locks and windows.

Crew Cab models are similarly-equipped to the King Cab line, but the LE Crew Cab adds a Rockford Fosgate audio system, heated leather seats, airbag package, aluminum roof rack, power sunroof and 17-inch alloy wheels with matching spare. The SE Crew Cab adds shift-on-the-fly 4WD and four-wheel limited-slip, while the LE 4×4 adds Vehicle Dynamic Control, leather seats and side and curtain airbags.

Both versions of the 4×4 are also available with a NISMO Off-Road package, which includes a locking rear differential, Bilstein shocks, skid plates, 16-inch BFG Rugged Trail tires, hill start assist and hill descent control, and side and curtain airbags.
