Nissan
The compact truck that punches above its weight class
The third-generation Nissan Frontier dropped the ancient 4-cylinder and 5-speed manual for a modern 3.8L V6 making 310 hp and a smooth 9-speed automatic. The result is a mid-size truck that out-accelerates many full-sizers, tows 6,720 lbs, and offers a Pro-4X off-road package with Bilstein dampers and electronic locking rear differential — all while fitting in parking spaces that swallow F-150s. It's the overlooked practical choice in a segment dominated by the Tacoma and Colorado.
310 hp starting at $32,190 is exceptional value.
