2008 | 4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 154-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed manual RWD |
I love the front seats, good leg room and I am 6 foot 1 inch tall. Seat material on my XE was rather rough so I put on seat covers that had a softer material and that felt more comfortable. see full Nissan Frontier review |

2009 Nissan Frontier Powertrain: Pros | ||
Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
2009 | 4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
Best V6 power rating on the market in a truck (Full or Midsize). More than ample power. see full Nissan Frontier review |
2009 | 4dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 5-speed automatic RWD |
The V6 moves the Frontier along with plenty of power left to spare. Engine has a lot of torque. I decided to go with this truck over the Tacoma because the engine felt familiar to the my old G35 that I used to own. see full Nissan Frontier review |
2008 | 4dr Crew Cab 5ft bed 261-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed manual RWD |
Great horsepower and excellent VQ40 engine. see full Nissan Frontier review |
