Can’t speak to the 4 cylinder but I had a 2006 Frontier that died at 150K from multiple issues.

thanks. I have had 3 Frontiers, including 2 brand new ones. I usually get a new truck every 5 or 6 years and they are no problems by the time I sell them......typically around 80,000 miles no major problems.

But I don’t know if Nissan is gonna be around so I went with the Ford Ranger XLT with the 4 cylinder ecoboost, 270 Horsepower. In reading up on these turbo engines, some people are saying they won’t last long and are essentially “disposable” engines. The guy at Nissan tried to sell me the new Frontier which is not a turbo, but a nice strong V6 delivering over 300 HP. I guess I just liked the looks of the Ranger too......so we’ll see........but since I sell at around 80,000 miles......it may not affect me.

My sister had a Tahoe that would stall on the highway all the time while it was packed with dogs and small children. She always had to drive in the shoulder lane after that.

I had a 2004 Nissan Frontier with a V6. It was an underpowered piece of junk and a money pit.

My first and last Nissan product.

There a YouTube out of a hot shot driver who put over a million miles on his 4 cylinder Frontier.

FWIW.
