Replying to: shadow20 (Jun 24, 2007 6:44 pm) I have called about seven different dealerships here, spoken with sales, service and parts departments and none of them know whether or not the Frontier has a built in supplemental engine oil cooler and transmission oil cooler. I can't believe that no one would know--how do they repair vehicles if they don't know what is in them or not? I would expect that at least the parts department would be able to look up a 07 Nissan 4 x 4 automatic and tell me yes or no and what size alternator. If for some reason the Frontier does not come with either (the hitch can be ordered separately), I am wondering if I should get those installed aftermarket to ensure that the engine and transmission stay cool when towing-- all the websites dedicated to travel trailer towing highly recommend having these, so do I just plan on getting those installed if needed or wait and see how the truck does? Also, I loved the Fosgate audio system, but do not want to be forced to buy the sunroof and roof rack and side airbags too--here, they force you to get all of them just for the nice stereo system! Has anyone been able to get one from Nissan without having to also pay for all that other stuff, or have you gotten a comparable aftermarket one that fits the Frontier stereo opening? Thanks for any advice.

Hi everyone- I'm a large guy (6'5", 265 lbs) and I'm interested in purchasing a new truck. I've currently got a '96 Dodge Dakota, which fits but is getting up there in miles. I've test driven every midsized pickup, and the Frontier is the one that fits the best. However, it'd be better if the seat was about 2" lower than the lowest setting allows (or the default in the SE). Right now, I get slight vision blockage by the sun visor, although it is tolerable. I just need to lean forward a bit to see the traffic light when stopped. Does anyone make a lower profile seat that isn't one of those weird racing things? Has anyone heard of someone modifying a 2005+ Frontier in this manner? Where would I go to get this done (assuming it can be)? Any suggestions are much appreciated! BTW, I already tried the Titan and the Toyota Tundra, they're no better in the vision department. |

Replying to: randyfromde (Jul 18, 2007 6:35 pm) 1. The dealer told me that with the tailgate locked, no one can remove and steal the bed extender, but I was easily able to remove the bed extender with the tailgate locked. Am I missing something in terms of securing it so it cannot be removed? 2. I want a two or three panel HARDSIDE lightweight, removable and lockable tonneau cover that works with both the Utilitrac and the moveable bed extender. The one in the Nissan Accessories catalog looks good, but I am sure it's very pricey. Has anyone bought anything like this and how do you like it? 3. Has anyone found an aftermarket product that really does improve the mpg and torque? I saw an ad for a very extensive-looking exhaust/intake system that claims to improve gas mileage by up to 15% and increase the torque too. What works? What doesn't? Thanks!

See my post in the Toyota Tacoma vs Nissan Frontier. I told about the cover and other things I did to get better gasoline mileage. All I can say is that it certainly is nice to be able to lock my bed up and not have to worry about someone stealing the contents. I do not have a bed extender so I cannot help you with that question. OkieScot |
