The frontier has ALWAYS been the dark horse in this race, even the previous generation was a very well built truck. this 3rd gen will be a very good long term model. I tested the old colorado, tacoma and ranger, and the pro4x was the one I got, cant beat the value for the features you get. Its been a really good truck.
Frontier is the name used for North America, Navara for the rest of the world. 3.8 engine and 9 speed were introduced in 2020 in the last generation. Auto 4wd is not necessary, when the weather is getting bad , turn the knob, it isn't that hard..geesh !!
I test drive the Tacoma and then drove this, and i left the dealership last night with one, not an pro-4x, but an SV. Got more band for my buck with the Nissan, plus they look much better!
Nissan did a great job improving this truck. I don’t feel it is all new but new enough. Engine and transmission are really good as is ride and how quiet it is. I test drove it and did not like really stiff steering you referenced and lack of LEDs unless you opt for top level trim. I don’t mind and actually prefer manually going into four wheel drive modes, but if you are used to AWD then one may miss that feature. At the end I chose Tacoma because reliability and resale value, but no denying how good looking this Nissan is and great improvements.
Interesting, I test drove the Taco, engine was just too choppy for me. I actually preferred the heavier steering of the Frontier, so we found and purchased the pro 4X. Honestly, it was like finding a unicorn for the top spec. Enjoy the Taco, a fine truck indeed.
For me, my 2022 Pro4X is my first truck, I don't want auto 4wd, and where this is my first truck is impossible for me to miss a feature I've never had. Its also a feature I wouldn't opt for if it was an option.
The more tech the higher the price. I appreciate that Nissan has lower level trims that are relatively affordable. I wish Nissan had a manual transmission option. I learned how to drive a manual on a 90s Hardbody.
While I would never rev the engine to the redline to get full power, I sort of like the idea that they use an older engine where the bugs have largely been worked out (and is likely more reliable).
Pretty sure at this point they have figured out how to put together NA V6 engines without them being a problem. We are soon to be in the electric age ffs.
I have a Pro X coming from a Titan it’s a fantastic little truck. The gas mileage sit somewhere around 20 mpg as a daily city driver and I have gotten up to 25 on the highway. Sadly the lower trim models just do not look that impressive if you’re looking for a basic fleet truck then it’s fine but not really gonna turn heads. The pro models are really nice looking get tons of compliments. Coming from a much larger truck this is the closest thing you’re going to get to driving a full-size. It’s built well even with the ac/radio off it’s quiet and the engine sounds smooth at higher speeds. The hydraulic steering is refreshing I hate electronic steering especially in a larger vehicle it’s just feels more grounded. The suspension is excellent. If you can find a dealership without any markup on these highly recommend buying one.
I hear what you’re saying about the leather! Always had cloth. Leasing a 21pro4x with leather! Didn’t like it at first but having it for 6 months now have to say I’ve gotten use to it and acually like it now! Automatic starters help in the winter and summer!
Owned my Pro4x since December and love it as a daily driver. First thing I noticed quiet! Next hydraulic steering is great, different but great. Ride is very nice, 4 hour trip was a breeze. Yes needs 4auto, needs a little mor refinement, looking forward to future improvements that I’m sure are coming.
Great looking truck... Nissan did a awesome job on it... Just a shame its automatic transmission only, that's why I went with a Tacoma since Toyota still offers a manual....
Ordered a Pro4x last month and eagerly waiting for it's delivery. Also looked at the Taco but at 6'7" the seating position was atrocious. This was the deciding factor for me. As reliable and resale friendly as the taco is, the comfort level is a non-starter for taller folk.
How’s the the leg support and leg room? I’m only 6’3” but I have long spider legs and I’m struggling to find a mid-sized truck that I fit comfortably in. My knees hit the lower dashboard and the pedals are always too close.
I know its the previous generation, but I test drove a 2014 Tacoma recently, I could not believe how uncomfortable the seats were. Obviously its a truck so comfort isn't the prime issue, but it was a total deal killer for me, theres no way you could be happy on long trips in those Tacoma seats...
@@blairbreaks9521 Youre better off with a full size, unless you dont plan on using the back seats. Im 5'9" and there is little leg room in the Taco when seating 4 peeps. The truck is narrow compared to the nissan, so virtually no foot room on the backseat floor. My father is 6'1" and he look cramped in the taco when driving. Unfortunately the midsize segment cant seat 4 people without being cramped. Otherwise if its just you then youll be okay in the long run. Infact the overall interior is smaller than that of a corolla; I would they should make the interior as big as the corolla.
Enjoyed the video, I have the same color in my Pro4x, and people notice and praise the look of this truck, one thing I think it's my biggest peeve is having to use my foot for the parking brake. Aside from that, I enjoy it as my daily driver. I feel it's going to last a long time
Love the looks of this truck, and the traditional control layout. Only fly in the ointment is the lack of automatic 4wd/AWD. I need an off-roader a heck of a lot less than I need a truck that's good in slippery/snowy road conditions. If I did a lot of actual off-road stuff, I'd lean towards the Frontier, but my Honda Ridgeline is a much better truck for my needs.
I have a White PRO-4X, and I love it so far. That being said, I absolutely agree with your comment about an automatic or full-time 4WD system. The only other thing I would change would be a rear defogger in place of the rear sliding window. Outside of that, it’s really been a perfect truck so far!
If you get the pro 4X without the premium package you get everything but the leather seats and sunroof I just purchased a 2023 frontier pro 4X That has everything but the premium package so it has cloth seats and no sunroof.
Great review! I have the same model you reviewed, but with black wheels. A few ergo points to add. The center compartment does not have a light. At night, it is a big black hole. I also noticed that not all of the window switches are lit up, only the drivers window switch. And the stalks are not lit up. I find that a bit odd. And I agree on the placement of the start button. After a month, I still struggle to find it.. Overall, I am VERY happy with this truck. It has just the right amount of technology to be current, with no gimmicks.
I like those rims better than the black ones that come on Pro 4X premium package in the states. Nissan put together better packages in Canada. We can’t get a Pro 4X King Cab either. Darn it. The Canadian trucks make more sense in Alaska because I also need the engine block heater. I also prefer hydraulic steering. Road feel is nice, especially on slippery roads. I have found electric steering to feel vague on slippery surfaces or when on tight curves. Nice review. 👍🏻
Love This Truck BUT needs some improvements to make it Great, Bed between wheels is not able to transport 4x8 sheet goods flat like other brands. Seats, both driver and pass could use more power options, Need rear A/C vents and front ventilated seats for southern buyers.
@@BrianMakse Their wonderful trucks, just enough technology and a nice V8. American made. Ford makes junk for the past 20 years or so. Most Chevy Silverados are made in Mexico and Rams is NOT an American company. :). So there's only technically the big 2. Nissan is built in Mississippi and engine I believe is made in Tennessee. It's a damn solid truck.
@@BrianMakse Different rpm’s different sound pitch. Never deep like a v8. Little cab drone. Definitely hear it inside the cab at 2k-3k. Sounds like the spaceship from the cartoon “the jetsons”. Lol!
There is a recall on the 9 speed transmission on the frontier and titan. Park selected may not hold park in the transmission and cause the truck to roll away if the parking brake is not on.
I want a 4auto especially when it rains. Taking a corner the rear kicks out very easily even when meaning not too. Have an 08 nismo frontier and this happens very easily even at moderate speed.. Rwd and light rear end is not a good combo in the rain.
Adjusting the rear tire pressure for unloaded weight helps. Stock is 35psi here in the states. Most people drop the rear a bit when empty to get a full tire contact patch and a little more comfort. However if you load and unload the bed often it get tedious.
Personally I think the cloth looks nicer, maybe if they did the contrast stitching on the leather I would think about it. Also I believe it's not real leather and looks cheap.
Not sure we're you came up with as tested price. I just bought the same package exactly and paid msrp with freight it was just over $53000 plus tax. The PRO 4 X with cloth sits just under 50 k.
I WISH my 2016 Frontier got 17 mpg, I get around 11-12 mpg and I use cruise control like 98% of the time. I think the hood and tailgate weigh about 1,000 lbs Combined. That shit is rediculous. Must say though, havnt had a single problem with my Frontier. That's why I decided to geo ahead and get it in the first place.
I have a 22 s trim and I feel like the suspension is too soft ...bed bounces on highway,I get jitters after hitting bumps etc im thinking I need a stiffer suspension.i could be wrong but how does it feel with the bilsteins??? A little too stiff ?just right?
The PRO 4X suspension is excellent. Not stiff. Does a way better job with body and wheel control. Far less secondary motion. You might be able to bolt it on, but I’m not sure.
I just bought the same truck here in BC canada. just curious about Direct injection 3.8 motor, I think the old 4.0 was n to direct injection. reading all those horror stories about direct injection carbon buildup at as low as 30,000km. any information about that sir...
Use DI intake valve cleaner before each oil change and it minimizes the issue. Also use top grade GF-6 motor oil. Got a DI engine and its going pretty good. 90k on it and barely noticeable buildup on the valves.
It’s really sad when your “favorite” feature is a dampened tailgate. A feature that can actually be easily installed on any truck with a tailgate for like $30.
@@BrianMakse if you’re insinuating you broke your wrist off an undamped tailgate then I suggest you stay far away from trucks and stick with a Prius. Also I have no idea who Leon is. I don’t think I’m a chump.
No, I broke it downhill mountain biking, which is what I do when I’m not racing cars. If you make flagrant assumptions, you may be a chump. Only you know for sure.
@@BrianMakse the idea with an undamped tailgate is to let it fall not assist its fall. Yea stick with a Prius. I’m pretty sure it’s rear hatch has hydraulic struts.
Auto 4x4 is just more crap in the transfer case to go wrong . I think it needs a 4x4 lever I hate the electric motor crap yes said the key words it’s a truck build it like one the yuppie’s can Lear to drive in the real world. Good review
Nice truck here and a good alternative to the Taco. Toyota is probably not going to let Nissan outclass them for very long, it’ll be interesting to see. I wonder why Nissan did not go with electric steering and brakes just for the sake of gas mileage? Why did Nissan use leaf springs instead of coil springs? Most truck owners use them as daily drivers don’t they?
@@SteelheadTed really? But still a lot of$$$ right now,unless you have a good trade in like a fellow Nissan friend did. I will wait for summer and see where prices go with the inflation thanks to Biden and the chip shortage. I really hope it gets better,because I've been doing my research on trucks and I want to buy my 4th Nissan. Though if Ford has the new Ranger out and fixes a lot of issues I will consider it also. Though I will a dabick each truck apart if Ford gives the USA the Ford Ranger this summer, Nissan has a great suspension,yes its nothing new but it's been working great so 👍, though the Ranger is like ridding in a boat unless you by the Yacht lol, where Nissan is great! I hate how Ford only gives you a a better suspension on the Tremor and not on every level what the Fun... I know rambled on sorry. How about this vision, put the old school roof racks on the new Frontier, how bad Ass will that look!!! If I do purchase the Frontier I will look into possible ability to putting that rack on, I loved that about my 2005 Frontier !!! So what's everyone's thought about the roof rack, can you invision this guys?? Please share your thoughts. Thank you all. Brad. Nj
@@brad4527 yes, a 6 foot bed is an option. Now is not a good time to buy any vehicle, has nothing to do with Nissan in particular or the new model. Wait a year and the used market will be flooded with trucks as everyone is finally able to get a new truck.
They don’t know how to play to their audience. They have a very nice cloth interior as standard on the Pro-4X. It’s got nice contrasting materials, etc.
I’d love to see what it looks like in person. My guess is their focus groups, for whatever those are worth, still indicate leather as the premium consumer choice.

I wonder why Nissan did not go with electric steering and brakes just for the sake of gas mileage? Why did Nissan use leaf springs instead of coil springs? Most truck owners use them as daily drivers don’t they?
All good questions that I would have asked the engineers if I were at the launch.
Coil springs????? you need a Maverick for that,, and don't expect to have the same towing capacity..

I guess a maverick would probably suit me better.
Nissan should've made the long bed with more better options! I'd rather by the older version again!!
A 6 foot bed is available too.
@@SteelheadTed really?
But still a lot of$$$ right now,unless you have a good trade in like a fellow Nissan friend did.
I will wait for summer and see where prices go with the inflation thanks to Biden and the chip shortage.
I really hope it gets better,because I've been doing my research on trucks and I want to buy my 4th Nissan.
Though if Ford has the new Ranger out and fixes a lot of issues I will consider it also. Though I will a dabick each truck apart if Ford gives the USA the Ford Ranger this summer, Nissan has a great suspension,yes its nothing new but it's been working great so 👍, though the Ranger is like ridding in a boat unless you by the Yacht lol, where Nissan is great! I hate how Ford only gives you a a better suspension on the Tremor and not on every level what the Fun...
I know rambled on sorry.
How about this vision, put the old school roof racks on the new Frontier, how bad Ass will that look!!!
If I do purchase the Frontier I will look into possible ability to putting that rack on, I loved that about my 2005 Frontier !!!
So what's everyone's thought about the roof rack, can you invision this guys??
Please share your thoughts.
Thank you all.

@@brad4527 yes, a 6 foot bed is an option. Now is not a good time to buy any vehicle, has nothing to do with Nissan in particular or the new model. Wait a year and the used market will be flooded with trucks as everyone is finally able to get a new truck.
I like it, thou would still choose a Taco
Betcha at the end of this year, Taco still outsells this. They’re very popular.
I would love to buy this over the Tacoma but Nissan quality has tanked over the past 15 years. The Nissan also has horrible resale value
Nothing in this video is of worth to anyone who has driven a Frontier in a test drive. And really, a Canadian? Give me a break.
You're an angry little fella today!
@BrianMakse don't worry he's just jealous 😅
They don’t know how to play to their audience. They have a very nice cloth interior as standard on the Pro-4X. It’s got nice contrasting materials, etc.
I’d love to see what it looks like in person. My guess is their focus groups, for whatever those are worth, still indicate leather as the premium consumer choice.
