I was poking around the last couple of nights, looking at Frontier. I think they're rare but you can get an I4/5MT/2WD King cab (aka extended cab) for under $20k supposedly. Seems like it gets reasonable reviews. Although it too has a horrible turning radius. But somehow its 2.5L avoids the pre-cat problem that the FWD 2.5's have, somehow. Anyhow, base/cheap truck, yesteryear technology. Wondering if I want to keep my potential list for the future.
I've seen some horrible reviews in regards to fit/finish on the base model 2.5L frontiers. There was also a guy here that posted his experience w/ pics of his new 2.5L Frontier. Things not attached properly, etc. On the other hand, the 4x4 crew cab models rarely have such issues, reported anyway. I'm with you though, the 2.5 5MT should be a bargain, but keep in mind, even one year old 4x4, 4.0L crew cabs can be had for $23-24K. My FIL bought a 2017 ex rental with 8K miles on it for just under $24K in 2018.
In regards to the whole Nissan thing, I like them because they make inexpensive used cars, which is what I typically buy.
Why Nissan is hanging on with the sedans I have no idea. Pretty sure only rental companies have been using them. Even the Murano and Pathfinder. Who's buying those? It seems as if the Rogue (and variants) is what is keeping them afloat.
