2011 Nissan Frontier
2011 Nissan Frontier offers bold styling and innovative design. These trucks handle well and the optional supercharged engine delivers decent performance. The 2011 2011 Nissan Frontier’s closest competitors include the Chevrolet Colorado Crew Cab 2WD, the Ford Ranger Super Cab , and the Toyota Tacoma. Upon introduction, the Base King Cab is equipped with a standard 2.4-liter, I4, 143-horsepower engine that achieves 22-mpg in the city and 25-mpg on the highway.
A 5-speed manual transmission with overdrive is standard. The SC-V6 Crew Cab Long Bed is equipped with a standard 3.3-liter, V6, 210-horsepower, supercharged engine that achieves 15-mpg in the city and 19-mpg on the highway. A 4-speed automatic transmission with overdrive is standard. The 2011 2011 Nissan Frontier is a carryover from 2003.
In 2011 Nissan Frontier, Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC) with traction control is a new option for 2011 Nissan Frontier. VDC controls brake pressure and engine torque automatically to reduce understeer or oversteer in slippery situations. Using sensors for steering, g-force, wheel speed, brake pressure and other factors, VDC can control individual wheel brakes or cut power to aid stability in adverse driving conditions. The VDC option includes a tire-pressure monitor system. A warning light appears if any of the four tires falls below the recommended air pressure. 2011 Nissan Frontier rides and handles very well, for a truck. It feels nimble in corners, and the steering is responsive. The front wheels stay glued to the road when cornering and the rear end never feels light over bumps. It rides like a truck, and you can feel road vibration through the steering wheel and the seat of your pants.
2011 Nissan Frontier’s supercharged version of this engine improves acceleration performance, but it doesn’t make the Frontier a hot rod. Still, the additional 44 pounds-feet of torque should improve towing performance. The anti-lock brakes do their job, although the Frontier uses less-expensive drum brakes in the rear. The four-speed automatic transmission upshifts sharply, but as smoothly as an expensive sedan’s when your foot’s on the floor. The automatic doesn’t hunt a lot when the engine is being challenged on hills. Frontier comes with a comfortable cabin. The Crew Cab increases versatility, though back-seat legroom is lacking.
