New nissan frontier reveal video.

It really is amazing how long the truck was built without doing any significant changes.

Two or three years ago I got one as a rental car on a business trip (funniest "midsize car" I`ve ever seen!). The interior design and materials didn`t look like they were ever updated and by the looks of them were probably out of date when the truck was unveiled originally. It felt like I`d gone through a wormhole back to high school in the `80`s and landed in my friends Nissan Pulsar. it was a really odd experience.

They updated the steering wheel and center dash around 2011, same with the grille. aside from that nothing. When I was with Nissan back in 14-15 we sold every one I could order. I was selling 15-20 a month for a few years.
 
Thanks for that great video link, Dave !
Really liked the front end of the new Pathfinder..
The Frontier looks great and has a nice 310hp motor... :)
I never see any Frontiers on the road, but then I live in farming country, so Ford, Chevrolet and Toyota are the big boys..

An article I read last week pointed to this exact reason why Nissan didn`t bother with any significant changes. They were consistently selling well and there was no compelling reason to make chages.

Overall, my experience with the truck was good. I might have chuckled at the vintage gage cluster and interior design, but it was comfortable and rode/drove nicely with decent gas mileage. My only beef with it as a rental car was the fact it was a regular cab and my suitcase had to go in the bed where it go in the back were it was covered in snow while driving to/from the airport and hotel. If I was in the market for a truck it would have been a viable alternative to the Tacoma.
 
Some people like a basic truck (me). I would take hand crank windows over automatic anyway.

It was one of the few manual tranny trucks left in production, looks like they not making manual.
