The Frontier pickup continues to live in the shadow of its bigger brother, the Titan. Despite the inferiority complex, the Frontier does offer a 152-hp 2.5-litre four-cylinder and an optional 261-hp 4.0-litre V6. Available in either king- or crew cab, with rear- or four-wheel drive, the Frontier`s abilities are excellent in terms of road manners and hauling capacities. Interior is basic, with rough plastic dominating the cabin.

Pros

Nowhere near as popular as old Hardbody

Cons

Nothing to stand out in a crowd
