2002 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab 4dr Crew Cab XE-V6 4WD LB (3.3L 6cyl 5M)
Suburban Workhorse
 Recently moved from NYC to suburbs.  
Found myself borrowing/renting trucks 
or tying oversized items to car roof 
too often.  Purchased Frontier compact 
pickup with quad cab, 5 sp manual and 
long (74") bed.  Has quickly become my 
full-time weekend car.  Enough interior 
room for all (3 fit in back seat 
easily), plenty of hauling capacity, 
4WD for the beach.  Acceleration is a 
little slow on the parkway (compared to 
my cars), gas mileage is reasonable.  
Biggest problem is a lack of center 
consol parking brake handle in the 
hills.  This small truck handles nicely 
both on and off road.  Reasonably 
quiet.  Even my wife enjoys driving it.
