Did the Frontier ever offer leather?  Keyless?

Dunno much yet, but saw one for sale the other day.
Seemed to have everything I wanted except these 2 features.
Anybody know what the 1st year they offered them (if they did)?
I believe 96 was the 1st year and they have had airbags then and since,
please correct me if I'm wrong on that.

98 was the first year of the Frontier. I know because I bought a 97 Nissan
Truck in 2000 specifically because it was the latest model I could get
without that ugly Frontier styling.  Finally, the latest Frontiers look
decent.  I hope to get a used one next year.  As far as airbags (or airbag)
goes, my 97 has just driver's side, while my brother's 99 Frontier has
driver and passenger side.

Excellent, that's just what I wanted to know for the year thing.
I SO agree about the ugliness of the first Frontier body!  HIDEOUS front
end!
So no sides on the airbags period yet huh? :(
Seems they think people who drive trucks don't care about safety.  All the
German sedans offer it, even VW.
Took trucks an extra 2-3yrs to get them even on the driver side vs cars.
Luckily, that's the only side I care about :)  NO S.O. or rodents to ride
around.

Do you know if the 97's offered leather or keyless entry (sometimes called
factory alarm, but has auto-doorlocks)?
If so, I now know I want 95-97!  That helps in the search :)

Never saw a Frontier with leather seats. Leather in a pickup truck? The
new Frontiers have keyless entry. If the truck you are looking at has
power door locks, keyless is only a couple hundred bucks at a store that
sells aftermarket alarms.

Sure, or vinyl.  I really don't care.  I just don't want nice stainable
hard to clean cloth.
I still can't imagine why they stopped offering all vinyl/rubber floors in
trucks.  Now THAT really is a truck thing that many would want.
Same with the doors, rr. wall, or ceiling.  You just can't get it anymore.

True, but hope not to have the hassle.
Also don't want my brand new (new to me) doors & dash messed with.
Of course, I do know a pro.. still, better not to have to deal with.

I've seen a 2001 and a few other Frontiers with leather. One had the
supercharged engine. Google it.

I suck at Googling, apparently.  Never find what I'm looking for, or more
usually find too much!  Can't sift thru to get what I want to know.
If they'd just allow REAL boolean logic or regular expressions I could
find everything.

Didn't know any had a supercharger!  I've always wanted that on a car.  So
much better than turbo IMO.  Of course, best is both :)  Better yet, 1
supercharger, 2 turbos for diff. rpm ranges!

So 2001.. when did the ugly front styling stop?
Just this last year, or earlier.

When I research a used car that I'm looking to buy, I google something like
"2002 Nissan Frontier" and it will find an archived review back when it was
new. Sometimes they will list the options at the end. I tried the one above
and it came up with some decent results on the 1st page. Sometimes you'll
get a ton of spam webpages though, so I guess it varies. The
research.cars.com link had all the options listed for every trim model.

It's probably quick, but 15-16 MPG and 93 octane sounds expensive...

Do an image search on what I quoted above: http://images.google.com/

Sweet, that sounds like just what I'm lookin for.
I'll check that out ASAP, thanks!

Yeah, you can't run the 93 all the time.. wait a min., 93?!  Where are you
getting that?!  I can only find 92 around here, and crap stations have 91!

Forgot about that one.
Just do one for 2001, 2002, etc. I guess.
Can't believe I forgot that.  Did it for a couple cellphones I couldn't
find in stores to look at.
