Tips for new Frontier owner?

If like most other Nissan models, the Frontier comes with NGK plugs, you'll regret buying Bosch plugs.

I got a similar deal. If you want to prevent the A/C from coming on automatically anytime you turn the dial to defrost, let me know. It is pretty annoying as there are many times I want air coming out of the top of the dash, but do not want the the compressor running. That was about the only thing I didn't like about the truck other than the rear is sprung too softly.

I second not replacing the plugs with Bosch.

Why would you take out those nice NGK Platinums and but in crappy Bosch's?

I was happy with the price, personally. Like I said it's a 2WD 2004 Frontier Crew, auto, power, short bed with liner and extender. My drive out price was about $18,680 or so.

Okay, the Bosch plugs are out. Forget I ever mentioned it. ;> It's just something I did to my Hondas, and I felt they were a good replacement plug after about 50K miles.

I haven't noticed the issue with the A/C in defrost mode. Honestly, I've only had this thing for 6 days and I may have spent 2 hours in it so far. Hell, I only adjusted the headrest _yesterday_!

I'd like to get a seat cover for the lower portion of the rear bench. I keep tools back there sometimes and I don't want to rip the seat or get it filthy. Not yet, anyway. Anybody got a lead on a good seat cover?

Can anybody tell me about the fuel gauge? It's a 19 gallon tank, what about reserve? Point being- I don't fully trust gauges so I watch the odometer as a clue when to fill up. Assuming city driving, how many miles can I expect from a full tank? I'm guessing best case scenario would be 19x19 (capacity X mpg). I guess I'll find out when I get through the first tank of gas.

I gotta get some cargo straps, or maybe just bungies. I dunno. It's Sunday, I think I'll go out for a drive.

Get some good front mats, like the kind that can hold a quart of water. I used 1 1/2 PVC Tubing to make separators for the cargo area. Do the defroster/Air conditioner mod.
