2007 Frontier Review Summary & Specifications
Built on the same mechanical platform as Nissan's full-size Titan, the mid-size Frontier boasts the most powerful V6 engine in its class, useful innovations such as the Utili-Track cargo securing system and spray-in bedliner, a comfortable cab and attractive styling. We think it's one of the best trucks in this class, sharing that mantle with the Toyota Tacoma.NewCarTestDrive.com correspondent Larry Edsall filed this report from Austin, Texas.
