High prices loom across the mid-size market - with every pick-up burdened with hefty MSRPs and meager discount options. Seattle drivers stumble from platform to platform, trying to find one that won’t shatter their budgets. Every search ends in failure, though, and their heads hang heavy as they shuffle home.
Nissan thinks it’s time to inject some affordability into the pick-up world - which is why it’s fused its 2018 Frontier fleet with the lowest prices in Seattle.
As Torque News explains, the 2018 Frontier (which includes the S, SV, Pro-4X, and Desert Runner trims) ranks as the market’s most affordable option. Boasting an average MSRP of $18,900, it proves far more budget-friendly than its rivals - with Chevrolet demanding $21,195 for the Colorado and Toyota requiring $25,200 for the Tacoma. How does it achieve such a reasonable number? The answer lies in its design.
According to Torque News, the Frontier is intended for everyday demands. Unlike its hulking off-road brethren, this platform yields a streamlined profile (206-inches long, 73-inches wide, 69-inches high) and a peppy FWD. It utilizes a responsive 2.5L four-cylinder engine to adapt to both residential and commercial needs, generating 152 HP and 171 lb.-ft of torque; while its five-speed manual transmission promises sterling control, allowing drivers to take advantage of the nimble 21.6 cu.-ft turn radius. This isn’t a traditional half-ton truck. It’s instead a compact alternative that strips away the costly steel and aluminum.
The 2018 Frontier provides drivers with up to 3,500-pounds of conventional towing - without demanding a high price. That makes it ideal for the budget-wary. To learn more about this platform contact our team today.
