Yes, very comfortable. And I have only 99,000 miles on it so it's good for a while longer, plus it's getting to an age where people comment on it.

Love the Frontier

I have a new 2017 Frontier after giving back a loaded 2016 Ford XLT. The Frontier is as gutsy pulling our 2010 Escape 15. It is not much lower than the 150, and is not a cushy or loaded with extras. It is easy to use everyday, very reliable, easy to load and unload, the ride is good for being a truck, the seats are fine (I have a heated pad for my back because it does not have heated seats). I couldn't be happier with this truck as it is everything I expected it to be, and even more powerful than I anticipated. Best of all,it was about $20K less that the 150, and $15K less than the Honda.

Had a 1994 Toyota pickup before the Nissan Frontier for 12 years . Then purchased used a 2002 Nissan Frontier . For how the Frontier handled and it's comfort really liked it much better then our Toyota . Both vehicles were the every day vehicles until the new Subaru Forester . Have had the 1992 F-250 XLT , second owner since 2003 to haul our camper , now the trailer . My brother buys new Ford trucks and I really find my old truck much nicer and comfortable . Really don't want or need all the tech stuff they come with . He buys the Platumin fancy with everything . I hope to keep the old girl for a long time . Less then 126,000 mi and get lots of looks and compliments when on the road and she does the job . Pat

I agree the Nissan Frontier is a better truck than a Toyota but that's setting the standard awfully low.

Steve the Toyota was a 1994 and they were a lot smaller then they are today . You couldn't kill that truck , mechanically it was great . The fellow that bought it wanted the compression in the heads checked and he couldn't believe at almost 200,000 hardly any wear . Course I changed the oil regliously with Castrol . It was squirrelly at a fast stop . The Nissan had better paint and felt like I had more control . Because of the ladder frame I think . Really would of kept it but in traffic , my knees said no way . It was a 5 speed . Got to say though for a everyday driver the Subaru Forester we love . Pat
