TO THE POINT
What’s New? The 2005 Nissan Frontier is redesigned with an all-new chassis, styling, and powertrain.
Selling Points: Tough looks, a potent V6, a good warranty, and a comfortable interior
Deal Breakers: Poor fuel mileage, lack of a long bed Crew Cab model
Our Advice: Nissan builds a fantastic midsize truck, possibly the best. Make sure to put the Frontier and Toyota Tacoma on your short list, and then decide between the two.
