Whether trucks are your first vehicle of choice or not, everyone can agree that a pickup truck is very useful. In fact, this useful quality trucks have is what will keep them on the market for decades to come. If you're in the market for a useful truck, one worth noting is the 2016 Nissan Frontier. With a brawny V6 engine, excellent ride quality, impressive off-road capability and overall fun-to-drive demeanor, there is a lot to enjoy in the Frontier. But there are many more reasons to invest in a truck like the Frontier. Continue reading to learn more sought-after qualities trucks provide.
Versatility
If there's one quality that trucks provide that many vehicles can't its versatility. From daily errands to loading lumber on the job site and hitting rugged terrain off-road, all of it is made possible with a pickup truck.
Ability to Tow
One of the main reasons people love trucks is that they are able to tow. Whether you want to pull a boat to the lake, a snowmobile to the mountains or a trailer full of furniture to a new home, owning a truck makes all of these things possible. The 2016 Nissan Frontier, for example, is powered by one of two engines: the standard 2.5-liter four-cylinder or the optional 4.0-liter V6. When properly equipped, the Frontier can tow up to 3,500 pounds with the four-cylinder and 6,500 pounds with the V6.
Safety
With their higher ride height which increases visibility behind the wheel and their solid safety equipment, trucks provide consumers with safety. Plus, new trucks like the 2016 Nissan Frontier feature safety systems that help boost driver awareness and, in turn, increase on-road safety. The Frontier comes with items, such as:
- Automatic collision notification
- Emergency call button
- Stolen vehicle locator
- Remote alarm notification
- Rearview camera
Improved Fuel Efficiency
The newer the truck, the better the fuel economy. Okay, so this may not be the case for every single truck on the market, but for most, it's the truth. Today's trucks are not only lighter, but they are also equipped with technology that makes them more fuel efficient in specific driving conditions, like active fuel management, which deactivates engine cylinders when possible so less fuel is burned.
Full of Features
Just like other vehicles on the market, pickup trucks offer loads of features that make the overall truck-owning experience excellent – even upscale. Depending on trim level, the 2016 Nissan Frontier comes with a number of sought-after features, such as:
- Keyless entry
- Foglights

- Heated front seats
- Auto-dimming rearview mirror
