Boldly going where no truck has gone before is the versatile and rugged 2012 Nissan Frontier compact pickup.

Not much changes for the Frontier in 2012 except for a new Sport Appearance Package, which includes body-colored bumpers, fog lights, a dark grille, and 18-inch alloy wheels, that is available for the King Cab and crew-cab SV trims.

Competing with the Chevrolet Colorado and Toyota Tacoma, the 2012 Nissan Frontier is available in many different cab configurations, trim levels and powertrain options. Choose between S, SV, PRO-4X and SL trims; King and Crew Cabs, different bed lengths, two engines, and two- or four-wheel drive. A 261-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-6 generates 281 pounds-feet of torque, which is good for a 6,500 pound towing capacity, while a smaller 152-horsepower, 2.5-liter inline-four-cylinder engine produces 171 pounds-feet of torque.

The Frontier also comes with a few helpful mechanical features. Hill start assist helps you from rolling back on inclines, while the Clutch Start/Cancel feature allows the Frontier models with a manual transmission to start the Xterra from a stop without using the clutch. For serious off-roaders, the Frontier PRO-4X model provides an electronic locking rear differential that sends equal power to the rear wheels boosting traction.

The 2012 Frontier is only available with a Crew or King cab, so it seats five passengers under any configuration. The Crew Cab standard bed is 4.7 feet in length, while the King Cab standard bed and Crew Cab long bed boast over six feet of length. To better secure items in the bed, Nissan’s Utili-track Channel System utilizes five channels that run the length and width of the bed: two on the floor, one on each side wall and one on the header. A factory spray-on bedliner, roof rack, and locking tailgate add to the Frontier’s utility.

Inside the 2012 Frontier, a 10-speaker, 2-subwoofer Rockford Fosgate audio system, XM Satellite Radio, auxiliary input jack, and Bluetooth® connectivity are optional. Small side doors for the rear seats in the King Cab and multiple seating configurations and storage areas highlight the versatility of the Frontier’s interior.

In terms of safety, the 2012 Nissan Frontier features all-disc antilock brakes, LATCH child seating, active front head restraints, and an electronic stability control system. Dual-stage front airbags, driver and front-passenger seat-mounted side-impact airbags and roof-mounted curtain airbags for side-impact and rollover head protection all come standard.

With so many ways to get it right, the 2012 Nissan Frontier pushes the boundaries of what is possible in the compact pickup segment.

*Incentive programs are subject to change at any time by the manufacturer.

Secret 1
Consumer Incentives

Zero percent financing, employee discount, cash back, out-the-door price tags...

Most dealers work hard to offer the public competitive prices. These incentives can grab your attention, but they can also obscure the actual terms you're getting on your purchase.

How can you fully understand incentives to get the lowest possible price on your car?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 2
Finance & Insurance

Most state franchise laws prohibit manufacturers from selling cars directly to the public, so the dealer will be your middleman. But in terms of financing and insurance, you can choose a bank or the dealer directly.

How can you determine what's in your best interest?

Secret 3
Additional Costs

Destination charges, taxes, license and title fees, advertising fees... When going to a dealership, you must ask for an explanation of any fee you don't understand. But you need to choose your battles wisely. Your local car dealer may have taken a loss or slim profit along the way, and your fighting over something like a doc fee when the deal is nearly wrapped up may be counterproductive.

In any case, there are many fees and charges in the sale process: some inevitable, others questionable. How do you tell them apart?

Secret 4
Trade-in Value

If you currently own a car, it probably represents profit. The question is, whose profit will it be?

With few exceptions, you'll get the most money for your used car by selling it privately. That's because dealers pay wholesale prices — not retail prices — for used cars, and they sell them at retail.

Your current car's value can be used to lower the price on your new car. However, most people underestimate their used car's value when going to a dealership. How can you maximize your value?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 5
Dealer Holdback

The car manufacturer holds back a fraction of the price of all vehicles the dealership sells. Then, it returns the money to the dealership, usually on a quarterly basis.

Dealer holdback began its life as a safety net that ensured the manufacturers would have a security deposit of sorts if a dealership missed payments, and the dealerships would have money on hand to cover overhead costs when the holdback was returned.

How can you take advantage of dealer holdbacks to get the bottom line price?

Get our free quote, and we'll tell you the secret.

Secret 6
Dealer Incentives

Unlike consumer incentives, dealer incentives are factory-to-dealer incentives that reduce the dealer's true cost to buy the vehicle from the factory to below invoice.

Manufacturers offer these incentives on a regional basis to generate sales on specific models. These incentives are sometimes referred to as "spiffs," and they can touch off competition among dealers to move slower-selling stock.

For instance, a dealer incentive may kick in when a certain sales target is reached, with each subsequent sale resulting in a higher factory-to-dealer rebate. How can you benefit from that?
