FRANKLIN, TN - The Nissan Frontier King Cab continues to prove why it is a popular option for fleets and consumers. The 2012 Nissan Frontier S King Cab and Frontier SV King Cab models were recently named as the “Least Expensive Vehicles to Insure” by Insure.com. The annual survey of more than 900 vehicles aims to help consumers identify the best vehicles to help keep their insurance payments low.

The Nissan Frontier continues to be a leader in the mid-size truck segment. Offering performance, utility and value, the Nissan Frontier combines premium hardware, extraordinary power and off-road athleticism. With a choice of two body configurations, 4x2 and 4x4 drive, 152 hp 2.5L inline four-cylinder (King Cab only) or class-leading 261 hp 4.0L V-6 engines, and good fuel mileage (19 city, 23 highway, King Cab four-cylinder 2WD), Frontier offers exceptional levels of family or workplace performance to fit nearly any need or budget.

“Our annual rankings provide consumers with a view of the best insurance deals of the year. If you want to save money on your insurance bill and you’re in the market for a pickup truck, the Nissan Frontier is an excellent choice,” said Amy Danise, editorial director of Insure.com.

The Insure.com nod follows three other recent awards for Frontier. It was named first in the Midsize Pickup Truck category in the Texas Auto Writers Association (TAWA) 2011 Texas Truck Rodeo, and to Kelley Blue Book’s “Best Resale Value Award: Top Ten Models” for model year 2012. In addition, J.D. Power and Associates named Frontier as the top midsize pickup in its 2012 Vehicle Dependability Study.
