Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Following a 2005 redesign, most reviewers comment that they notice a family resemblance. Kelley Blue Book explains that it is "unmistakable as a direct descendent of the company's daunting full-size Titan pickup, although more athletic looking than its larger sibling." The Arizona Republic notes the Titan-esque style is better suited for the smaller Frontier. "Muscular fender flares are attractively macho, along with the huge off-road tires and the slightly raised body height," the review reads.

The Frontier's higher trims feature a factory-applied spray-on bedliner that protects the cargo bed from rust, dents and scratches.
