Test Drive: Nissan Frontier - a rugged, practical hauler (with video) - Chattanooga Times Free Press

Let's face it, most people who drive pickups for basic transportation don't need big, half-ton work trucks such as the Nissan Titan or the Ford F-150. For folks who just need a truck to get the kids to school, or maybe to haul an occasional... This week's tester is a Cayenne Red Frontier 4X4 provided by Nissan of Chattanooga East General Manager Danny McVay. Our well-equipped, Frontier 4X4 SV crew-cab tester has an asking price of $28,981 under the dealer's market-based "True Price" discounting system. Nissan, formerly Datsun, actually pioneered the compact truck segment in the late 1950s, and has had a strong share of the small truck market ever since. The 2015 Frontier crew cab has a tried-and-true exterior design that includes flared wheel-arches, a handsome chrome grille and beefy tires mounted on 16-inch aluminum-alloy split-spoke wheels. No regular-cab version is available, only King Cab and crew cab models. The four-passenger King Cab Frontiers have small, second-row seats. while five-passenger crew cab models such as our tester, have four full-size doors and ample leg room for passengers occupying the rear bench seat.
