Consumer Review Video - 2013 Nissan Frontier SV 2.5L 4 Cyl. Extended Cab Pickup
Common problems and easy repairs on a 2013 Frontier
The 2013 Nissan Frontier SV is a moderately easy vehicle to maintain and is a good choice when compared to other similar models. Changing the headlight is simple. You only have to reach behind the housing to access this bulb. The engine air filter is easy to reach. You only have to disengage a few fasteners and once you do you can easily pry back the cover. The power steering reservoir is easy to access in the passenger side of the engine bay.
Some things are more difficult on this 2013 Nissan Frontier SV. The transmission dipstick is more difficult to access than usual. You must make a long and cramped reach to get to the dipstick and you must first loosen a bolt. You must lower the spare tire from under the vehicle for access to it. The lower mechanism can grow rusted to the undercarriage and be inaccessible. Changing the center brake light can be tough as you must remove securing bolts and pry the housing out.
