The 2009 Nissan Frontier doesn't offer styling that stands out much from the crowd, but most drivers will find themselves pleased with what the vehicle has to offer.

The Frontier has what ConsumerGuide refers to as a "middle-of-the-pack size"; with its design and style, it "carves out a nice niche for itself in the compact-pickup market." Although it is often referred to as compact class, the 2009 Nissan Frontier is truly a mid-size pickup, offering a six-foot bed and two extended cab lengths, including a King Cab and a Crew Cab. Crew Cabs offer the standard five-foot bed, but the six-foot bed is available on the SE and LE models of this size 2009 Nissan Frontier. Cars.com notices its "grille with angled chrome inserts and chrome-plated bumpers" and "short front and rear overhangs and large geometric fender flares." Edmunds likes its "rugged disposition." Car and Driver appreciates the Frontier's "romp-and-stomp styling."

Edmunds is one of the few sources to describe the interior. "The roomy cabins offer straightforward controls, comfortable front seats and an attractive design," they note.

Conclusion

The 2009 Nissan Frontier offers respectable styling that looks tough and rugged.

Other Choices:

The 2009 Nissan Frontier offers a wide range of trims and equipment to meet various work and recreation needs—just like other traditional pickups, such as the Toyota Tacoma and Dodge Dakota. The Dodge Dakota comes in two- and four-door versions, with V-8 engines available and four-wheel-drive packages for more serious duty. The Toyota Tacoma offers a big V-6 engine, a special off-road version, and even a sport-tuned edition. The Honda Ridgeline does it differently; it comes in just one four-door configuration and with one powertrain combination, but its cubby-laden interior and highly functional truck bed might compensate for casual users or certain work needs.
