#1402 of 1428 Mileage by 2005lekc Sep 10, 2007 (6:39 pm)
The best I ever got was 27.1 mpg when the truck was new and no mods at all. It was a 200 mile trip down to Bedford, TX to get my Flo-Pro exhaust installed. I had a good tail wind and it was more downhill than uphill, although there was a lot of both.   I have a 2005 LE KC 4X2 automatic. After the exhaust install I never got better than 23 mpg on the road and that was before the Volant CAI.   I recently removed the Volant CAI as I had the engine covers airbrushed and I liked the look of the stock covers better. After the removal I seem to be getting about 1 mpg better mileage.   The current mpg on my computer is 19.6 mpg and that is over the last 3 fill ups and is about 90% town and 10% freeway mileage.   I have never felt that any of my mods have really helped with my mileage. I do love being able to secure the load in my bed with the bed cover and I would not take for the sound of my exhaust.   OkieScot Replies to this message: canon714 (Sep 11, 2007 7:02 am)

Sorry, it is the V-6 which is standard in the LE.   OkieScot
#1405 of 1428 Frontier Trailer Hitch by bobw1 Sep 12, 2007 (11:05 pm)
Does anyone know if the trailer hitch that comes with Frontier towing package is a weight distributing hitch, and what else comes in that package. Does the Frontier V6 take regular gas. I see the Pathfinder takes premium and I thought they were the same engine. Thanks... Replies to this message: carnut21 (Sep 13, 2007 7:23 pm) rocketman67 (Sep 17, 2007 6:29 am)

Replying to: bobw1 (Sep 12, 2007 11:05 pm) I believe it is a weight distrubuting hitch but to get the "full" weight distribution you have to buy another piece that goes onto the tongue of the trailer. This is the same as any other truck and can be picked up at an RV or off-road store. They can direct you accordingly.   The Frontier or the Pathfinder require premium fuel for "max" hp. However, I have and 05 Frontier with the 4.0 V6 and have ran maybe 2 tanks of premium fuel. There is little difference. Most of the Nissan's are that way. They are the same basic engine except a slight tweak to a chip or something to get a little more hp. Either way, you can not go wrong. This is a tough engine. I average 21-22 mpg with the crew cab 6 speed and topped at 23.5. Replies to this message: rocketman67 (Sep 17, 2007 6:29 am)
#1407 of 1428 What's your trucks maximum tongue weight? by tigger32 Sep 16, 2007 (6:54 am)
Hi all,     Just a quick general question for all of you fine folks. I am very seriously thinking about buying a Frontier for towing a trailer. I prefer to stay with the smaller truck instead of moving up to the Titan. So the question is: what is the maximum allowed tongue weight on most your trucks? I realize that it varies truck to truck by the addition of accessories and such but I am looking for an overall spread.   Thanks to you all.   Jim Replies to this message: dave_petty (Sep 19, 2007 6:37 am)

Replying to: carnut21 (Sep 13, 2007 7:23 pm) Will the ECM/ECU from the Pathfinder work with the Frontier?

Replying to: tigger32 (Sep 16, 2007 6:54 am) 350# on the step bumper, 500# on the hitch. The truck rocks. I really didn't think I'd like it better than the Toyota, but it's the hands-down winner in my book. Love it.

My wife and I had to downsize due to my health..We moved into a 55+ MH park..We have a 98 Tracker that has served us well but we can't haul any remodeling supplies...We would like to get a small pick up with extended cab and 4wd for the winter..The neighbor would also let us use his small tent camper on occasion..We would like either a tacoma that has 70/80 thou on it to fit into our price range...Would the 4 cyls. pull a small tent camper or would it be best to have the v6...Would the higher miles be harder on a 4 vrs a v6 if it was well cared for..We can afford to spend 10- 12 k...Comments, thoughts or ideas.. God Bless...K Replies to this message: thegraduate (Sep 25, 2007 12:23 pm)
