We've recently test drove one for my wife's next ride- I'm trying to sway her that direction with the thoughts I would take ownership after she was done and be a forever to own truck for me to use as needed. Kinda selfish so we will see how it goes. Maybe a new used to pay off in a couple years then get her another new ride.... still selfish.
Good luck on the truck shopping.
I have no dealer to recommend but can say the one in Baytown had $750 worth of dealer add- ons to fight off . (Vs the $5,000 + the Jeep dealer up the feeder had - crooks) .
I do know the fully loaded Pro4X4's were running ~$47k when I was window shopping not too long ago.
Go get it Dave. You will be happy that you did. I recently bought a bronco to keep miles off of my F150 4 x 4. But it was a tossup between that and the frontier. The only reason I did not go frontier was because I already had a truck that was four-wheel-drive.
Made a 7 hour round trip from Houston to pick up my frontier in Corpus Christi. I contacted 7 or 8 dealers. I asked if a certain truck was available & a drive out price. Told them I would be up with a check to buy if they could make it work. Only 2 did that. All the others sent back askin stupid questions or playing dealership games. Ed Hicks in Corpus & Baker Nissan North in houston both did great. I sent a message to Hicks & they answered right back. The price was more than I wanted to pay. A few minutes later the salesman called & asked what my numbers were if I didn't mind. I told him a little lower than my max. He said thanks & I'll be back with you. A little later he called back & said they could do it with one condition. I had to buy the truck before April 1st. Told him I would be there in about 4 hours if they were serious & not gonna play games when I got there. He said deal. A few minutes later sales manager called & said no games, what I quoted is drive out. No dealer add ones to surprise you etc. They contacted me 2 times on the way. Once to let me know truck was being cleaned & gassed up. Got one later & said we are done . Got there & the Salesman Walked up & said your truck is ready,lets go take a test drive to make sure u are happy before you pay. Came back from that & all paperwork was done. No hassles or games. I highly recommend Ray Hicks Nissan & Ray Angeles ( my Salesman). Baytown Nissan never gave me a straight quote & was asking crap like credit score etc. I ignored them after that one. Horrible dealership in my book. Got home from CC about 11 pm & got up this morning about 5:30 & drove to a sporting clay shoot in Austin. After 500+ miles I am averaging right below 21 mpg all hand calculated. Gotta say I am really enjoying this truck. Here is a pic. Not the best, but sun was behind the clouds so couldn't get that blue to pop.
