It’s no challenge to own the Frontier in the ‘burbs or any rural environment. When your friend calls and wants to go skiing, you both can throw your skis in the back and be on your way.
If you gotta put the groceries in the bed, I highly recommend reusable bags with handles you can tie, or ones with zippers on top. Otherwise, plan on using the back seat for that particular haul.
The interior of the Frontier is simple, but has everything you need. Comfortable front seats and storage are available. Each door has bottle holders and cubbies. There is a center console that will handle a small handbag.
