2000 Nissan Frontier Extended Cab SE Desert Runner 2dr Extended Cab SB
Great bang for the buck
 I bought my Nissan Frontier in August, 
2002. I was initially looking to buy a 
Toyota Pre-runner, but as I researched 
several key areas (price, reliability, 
maintainance, performance, owner 
satisfaction) the Frontier Desert-
Runner soon became the better value.  I 
own 2 Toyotas, an FJ-40 Landcruiser and 
a SR-5 Pickup.  Both are solid, 
reliable vehicles.  But the Nissan is 
just as trustworthy at a lot less 
money. Also the Toyotas' developed 
rattles from the get-go, the Nissan 
remains quiet and composed.
