The 2011 Nissan Frontier: before you buy
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2011 Nissan Frontier for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. This page puts the 2011 Nissan Frontier in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.
What to check on the Frontier
There are 1 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 64 complaints with NHTSA, most often about air bags, service brakes and power train; have those parts checked.
The numbers in plain words
The 2.5L 4-cylinder is what moves it, with rear-wheel drive. It runs on regular gas. Rear-wheel drive gives balanced handling; in winter, the tires make the biggest difference.
A combined rating of 11.3 L/100 km works out to about 34 litres per 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $52.56 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,200 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
When the Frontier makes sense
It uses more fuel than most, so it suits shorter trips or people who need its size. It suits a family trip where everyone and everything fits in one car.
Size and space
As a pickup truck, it has an open bed for things that would never fit in a trunk.
Rent it for a week first
Try the Frontier on your commute, then decide. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide. Rent the Frontier for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one.
Picking a year and a trim
If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Look at a few listings of the same year and trim to get a feel for fair prices. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Money matters
The EPA estimates US$3,200 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $17.52 in fuel. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $175.20 at our price setting.
