Available in markets like North America, Central and South America and the Philippines, the Nissan Frontier is Nissan’s 2nd generation of D22 and D40 pickup trucks. After the D21 series was discontinued in 2002, production of the Frontier started, along with the discontinuation of its availability in Japan.

In North America, the Frontier is manufactured in the Nissan plant in Smyrna, Tennessee. The Frontier follows a long line of Nissan pickups, as Nissan is the pioneer in the compact pickup scene. Its predecessor, the D22, was the first compact pickup with a crew cab body style.

In other markets such as Europe and Australia, the Frontier has slight variations and is more popularly marketed as the Nissan Navara from 1998 until 2005 when it was replaced with the D40, which still more or less is a variation of the Frontier, only bigger and taller. The Navara is also available in South Africa, China, and Egypt and has switch branding from Frontier in Mexico.

Base MSRP for New Nissan Frontier: $18,200
Estimated Price Range for Used Nissan Frontier: $3,000-$17,000
Estimated MPG for Nissan Frontier: 14 City/19 Hwy

The Frontier and Navara brand has been changed in Chile as well, making the Terrano brand more recognized there. For its safety features, concerns with airbag deployment and seatbelt support have been corrected with an upgrade of the pickup truck’s software features.

Although stripped of the “skyline” brand, the GT-R still carries some features that made the Skyline a very popular brand – an all-wheel drive, a 6 cylinder engine with twin-turbo capacity. The HICAS system with four-wheel steering, as well as the straight-6 RB26DETT engine were changed. The replacement is the V6 VR38DETT engine. Moreover, the moniker “Godzilla” was inherited by the GT-R from the Skyline. The GT-R has received acclaim from various institutions, including Automobile Magazine which named it as the 2009 Automobile of the Year.

Nissan Murano Review

The Nissan Pathfinder, otherwise known as the Terrano, was originally intended as compact SUV in 1986. Now, the Pathfinder/Terrano is marketed by Nissan Motors as mid-size SUVs.

The name difference before was according to markets, as the Pathfinder was only known as such in North America, and it was known in all other markets as the Terrano. This was until 2005, when the integrated name Pathfinder was first made available in the UK.

The platform for the first generation Pathfinder is the WD21. R50 was the platform for the second generation Pathfinder/Terrano, while R51 was the platform for the third generation. The size of the Pathfinder is between a Nissan Murano and Nissan Patrol but is priced between the Nissan Xterra and Nissan Murano. The 2008 Nissan Pathfinder incurred some improvements, including additional new models and a V8 engine borrowed from the Nissan Titan. It was first seen at the Chicago Auto Show in 2007.
