It ranks at the top of vehicles that I have owned. Overall, drivers appreciate the reliability and the good value of the truck. But then I never traveled long distance in the truck sitting in the back seat. Never failed to do what I needed. Trucks generally go through pads more quickly than cars, but it seemed a bit soon for that kind of normal wear. A receiver is suction-cupped to a window we chose the windshield , and it is connected by a wire to a control box in the driver's footwell. It illuminates a six-by-eight-inch sheet of plexiglass that the map is clipped to.
Total exhaust system, rear brakes original, but will replace brakes shortly. The diffused light was easy on the eyes and less distracting to the driver than an overhead light. First, Nissan began to offer the Crew Cab, which featured a rear bench seat instead of the inward-facing jump seats in the KingCab and independent rear doors. You won't find a more dependable truck. The Crew Cab proved to be popular with 2000 Frontier purchasers, who loved the extra passenger room and for the most part did not miss the lost bed space.
Each time this happened, we had to reprogram our code. I would upgrade to a newer model, but I don't like the new interior upholstry on the 2005 and newer models. I had to replace the fuel line on one end since the old one was hard. Regular maintenance keeps this truck going. When the Frontier was new, acceleration was adequate -- 10.
Very reliable, stylish and useful. And that's about the best compliment we can pay to a truck which otherwise is strictly middle-of-the-road. My only complaint is the back seats are too small for more than the driver and front passenger to be comfortable on a long trip, however if you have kids that won't be an issue as their little legs should fit just fine. I think this is one of the best trucks out in the market for the occasional weekend project person. I have 2 other cars now, but I can not bring myself to part with this old friend. The doors unlock when the receiver recognizes a preprogrammed sequence of finger taps on the glass. This truck is all weather, all terrain, all the time.
No repairs were required, and when called upon as a light-duty truck, it did not disappoint. A good testament to its durability was when a dog ripped a hole in the back seat and I set out to find a replacement. The first truck was totalled after an accident. I had to replace the front shocks on both trucks around 100k miles. Since then other four-doors have appeared, including the '00 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab and the '01 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. In the last year I had the timing belt and the transmission replaced yikes and now it's like a brand new truck. But the Frontier was a dependable, multipurpose errand runner.
Each system uses a separate reservoir marked with full lines to ensure proper levels are maintained. The Crew Cab came standard with the. Paint red is still excellent shape, no fading, no rust, but do keep it clean and I wax vehicle 4-6 times a years. My family and I are very grateful!!!!!!! Early on, staffers praised the Frontier's civilized, carlike ride and the decent acceleration provided by its 3. Fill levels for the three boxes vary based on engine size and specific type of differential. More-lengthy service stops that include various inspections are called for every 15,000 miles.
However, they all use fill plugs for measuring fluid. The 2000 Nissan Frontier saw a few important changes from the previous model. Servicing at 30,000 miles included everything done at the 15,000-mile stop, plus inspections of the steering gear and the exhaust system. The only issue is the front grill which is chrome plated plastic would bubble and flake off. Or that, as a pickup, it is somewhat limited by its small bed, payload a hair more than 1000 pounds , and 5000-pound towing capacity.
He also wished the Frontier's rear seat could be folded flat like the Explorer Sport Trac's , but his biggest complaint was with simply trying to shift the truck into gear. Always check the reservoirs with each oil change, and fill as needed. I can't recommend this truck enough, and the engines are the same in the Pathfinder, Xterra and Frontier for a bunch of years around 2000, so it's worth looking into those models if you're looking for more interior space. We had an even bigger problem with drivers disconnecting the control-box wire with their feet when exiting the vehicle. Could use more horsepower, but overall, very satisfied with vehicle. Known as the Frontier in America, and about a dozen other names in other markets, the Frontier was a kind of return to its roots for Nissan.
It extends bed length from 54. Well, it's 2019 now, it's got 355,000km on it, and runs like a dream. Never sold, that is, until Nissan recently unveiled its 2000 Frontier Crew Cab. Fluid capacities varied according to the engine, drivetrain and whether or not the vehicle came with a towing package; expect anywhere between 2. It tows my boat and gets me to work every day.
I've taken it off-road a bunch, up mountains in blizzards, hauled ridiculous amounts of stuff with it, and it hasn't let me down. The 221 feet required to stop from 70 mph improved to 210 at final testing, but grip on the skidpad, at 0. To prevent this, we had a keyless and fobless entry device called a TapLock available from TapTronics, 800- 943-9441 installed on the Frontier. We also liked the four-foot spiral cord, the clip feature which was good for keeping the current section of the route in view , and that the light did not get excessively hot after being on for hours. In 14 years, never put me afoot.
