Tested: 2000 Nissan Frontier SC Crew Cab Gains Much-Needed Power
From the Archive: With the help of a supercharged V-6 and bold styling, Nissan s compact Frontier pickup shows new signs of life.
From the September 2000 issue of Car and Driver.
After floundering for the past five years, Nissan appears to be back in the game. In just two years, the Japanese automaker has introduced a revised Maxima sedan, pumped up the Pathfinder SUV, and rolled out the all-new, entry-level Xterra sport-ute.
The Xterra has done quite well for Nissan, selling at a pace of about 90,000 a year, some 30,000 more units than Nissan had expected to move. Nissan is now hoping that some of the Xterra s success will rub off on the Frontier pickup line, with its aggressive new bodywork and an optional supercharged engine.
