The towing stability is the standout. My only gripe is the fuel bill when towing, which I knew going in.

2026 Nissan Frontier review
Nissan Frontier: capability first, comfort close behind. Illustrative review
9.0/10 OffLot expert score
The 2026 Nissan Frontier sits near the top of its class. Standard driver-assist suite; cab is quiet at highway speed. Some cabin plastics feel basic on base trims and fuel economy drops sharply when towing, so test the trim you'd actually buy. Starting around $34,000, it undercuts most direct rivals.

Owner reviews · 4.3 of 5 from 3 owners
Bought it for the weekend hauling and a daily commute and it has handled everything so far. Fuel economy has been close to the sticker in mixed driving.
We cross-shopped three others and this won on towing stability. the fuel bill when towing is the trade-off.
