The 2006 Nissan Frontier Truck
by: Stuart Simpson, Tue Dec 6th
Nissan hits hard when they remodel their vehicles. The newFrontier is no exception. This truck finally has the power andlooks to rival any of the competition. I wanted to help you inyour shopping by pointing out the features I saw the other dayon my test drive. The 4.0 DOHC V6 puts 265 hp down and 284 lb-ft of torque. Itfeels like it can pull a house down. The new engine has analuminum block and is very smooth. The 4-cylinder is no slouch.It puts down 154 hp and is much more balanced for a smooth likecomparison to the V6. The new, boxed frame is similar to the big brother Titan's fullsize frame. The welded in cross members add to the midsizetrucks rigid handling. Nissan went all out. This truck has adouble wishbone suspension and leaf spring rear suspension.Drives like a car in the city, but the structure of a big truckfor work or off road time. Speaking of off roading - your 4x4guys will like the 10.1" of ground clearance. Nothing is hangingdown anymore. Add a skid plate to the 4WD model and someoptional off road tires and you are ready to climb a hill withjust the push of a 4WD button.
Technology was put into this bad boy, too. 4 wheel limited slipso that the wheels don't loose traction and a vehicle dynamiccontrol. It keeps your truck in control by braking and enginecontrols to help maintain total vehicle control. Of course, itmay not prevent an accident, but it sure could help on a rainyday. My friend got the NISMO Frontier. It has the off road packageand some special graphics along with Bilstein shocks. Theinterior was a unique as were the wheels. His was an automatic,and although he doesn't take it off roading, it sure did ridenice and it wasn't that much more with all of these options. Hehad a bed protector and the utili-track bed rail system. The tiedown locations were limitless. It has two glove boxes. Yes, inthe front where you only get one. The Nissan also had neat underseat storage and the front passenger seat folded up to provide adesk type surface. The truck has been really well thought out. There are tons ofair bags for protection on the sides, window curtains, and ofcourse in front. ABS and brake assist (helps you apply morebraking force if necessary) features along with the brakedistribution (applies more braking power to the rear wheelsbalance the weight) helps remove safety as a concern. The truck is truly a world-class midsize pickup and leads inmost categories. I wish you had to opportunity to drive one as Idid. About the author:Stuart Simpson http://www.nissan-trucks-review.com/
