2007 nissan frontier

Remember the old joke that babies born in 2000 can officially get married and serve in the military this year? Cars of the beginning of the 2000s are also infinitely far from today's reality and are a thing of the past, having replaced more than one generation. Or not? As it turns out, not all. Here's a live example for you: the Nissan Frontier. We have long forgotten this old Navara, and today's eyes are riveted on a new generation that shared the platform with the Mercedes-Benz X-Class itself. But those who wrote off the pickup truck with the D40 index are severely mistaken. Today we are testing Frontier for the US market in its "customer home" in Chicago. This series of utilitarian cargo-passenger cars from Nissan generally turned out to be indecent, unacceptable, absurdly tenacious. Judge for yourself: an even older generation with the D22 index generally appeared when our fathers received salaries in the millions - in 1997. And it, under the name NP300, inhabits salons an 2007 nissan frontier d plows the expanses of some countries like Egypt and Africa to this day! Is it any wonder then that the next generation, which was released already in the “recent” 2004, still finds buyers not just anywhere, but in the USA? Of course, years suit few people, and age is extremely rarely beneficial, especially for a car. However, Nissan figured out how to properly prepare the sauce, under which you can serve a product that has not yet been spoiled, but is pretty dried up. Talking about the appearance of a fifteen-year-old car ... no, it's worth saying a few words. First, in the parking lot, the main thing is not to start throwing your work belongings into the back of a dusty gray pickup without making sure that this pickup is yours. Secondly, the fact that the years have brought a minimum of changes in appearance is terrible from the point of view of a militant aesthete, but allows you not to worry if you accidentally broke a rear light while loading or tore off a bumper with a loader. Frontier scars to the face, and bandages and plaster for plastic surgery can be found at any disassembly. Sitting inside, you are no longer surprised by anything: historical and external excursions help to calmly meet there at least an ancient Nissan steering wheel with a thick vertical spoke, at least a mechanical box with a shapeless lever knob in a working way, at least “meat grinders” of power windows. Stop ... all this is really there. But there are no trifles like a clock, a cabin filter, and even a heated rear window in the basic equipment. Everything is in place that is ready to return you not only your 2007, but even 2004: orange backlighting, rough dashboard scales, cheap gray plastic that collects all the cave art of scratches, large buttons ... But wait, many of these buttons still in use by the Japanese. However, the interior equipment, unlike the exterior, surprises with inclusions of something modern. The multimedia system, for example, has a color screen, although it is smaller than a modern smartphone, and it can play music from your iPhone, and also shows a picture from the rear view camera as standard. Luxury?! No, it's just that the law in the United States obliged to include a rear-view camera in the basic equipment - hence the screen, multimedia, and USB with Bluetooth, which were added to the slot for CDs from 2004. And now, when the streams of sarcasm, surprise, bewilderment and slight aesthetic disgust have dried up, you either go out and go to the nearest salon for another car for other money, or you are absorbed by this old one ... Okay, this is a joke. Well, almost: Nissan does not know how to charm - you can either put up with the shortcomings or not, and only the most nostalgic adherents will find reasons to rejoice in it. Frontier captivates not with this - more precisely, not only with this. It captivates with a combination of this undisguised simplicity with reliability, durability and cheapness. Nissan says so right on the front page of the model on the official website: "Frontier is America's most affordable pickup truck." And it's true: the car we see now costs $18,900. For the base Chevrolet Colorado they ask for 20 thousand, for the GMC Canyon - at least 21 thousand, the Toyota Tacoma costs from 24 thousand, and the Honda Ridgeline starts at 30 thousand. However, all this is an order of magnitude newer cars. But as they say, a thousand dollars is a thousand dollars. The Nissan buyer, however, has some choices.
