10K+ Miles: 2023 Nissan Frontier's Long-Term Performance (Quirks, Steering, Transmission, and More)

[@phw2274]

I bought an original 1986.5 Hardbody 4x4, manual transmission, loaded and brand new that first model year back in 1986 for $18,000. 140-hp V6. It was a fantastic truck. Now for my sixty-fifth birthday I treated myself to a low mileage Nissan certified pre-owned 2022 4x4 Frontier. I absolutely love it, and all the new features and improvements, and that 310 HP isn't so bad either.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Congrats and what an awesome story. Love that you stuck with Nissan and I'm a lifer too, :D. Enjoy it!

[@JP-ec9rl]

I like my 2022. I've had a couple issues that I've had to sort out for myself and my local service department didn't seem to be very interested in hearing about it. Other than that, it's been a great truck.

[@diulaylomochohai]

@@JP-ec9rl what were your issues? nissan dealers are garbage

[@JP-ec9rl]

@@diulaylomochohai the biggest thing was warped brake rotors and a caliper hanging up by 6000 miles. The truck started pulling to one side and the rotors started pulsating. They didn't seem to take my concerns about it seriously, said that they would order rotors for it and call me back but wouldn't listen that I felt like a caliper was hanging up intermittently. They never did call me back but I didn't trust them to take care of the problem correctly anyways so I went ahead and put extreme duty rotors and pads on it myself and inspected and serviced the calipers, that way I knew it was done right. They had already botched one of my "free oil changes" by leaving oil all over the bottom of it and by the time i got it home, i could smell oil burning off of the exhaust. If I've got to crawl under it, clean it off and remove the inspection cover and make sure that the oil filter is tight and not leaking, what do I really need them for to begin with?

My question is will they last as long as a Taco? I ask because I am just not sure based off knowing nothing about the Frontiers

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@bcw686 well, I know for a fact that a lot of the previous generation frontiers and Xterras are still running around with two or 300,000 miles. I personally have a 2008 frontier in my driveway with 218,000 miles that while needing some stuff, maintenance wise still runs like a champ engine and transmission wise. My Xterra had 150,000 miles and ran like brand new when I traded it for my frontier. Historically people would argue that the Tacomas are slightly more reliable but my question is, is it worth the significant markup to get something that’s just slightly more reliable than a frontier? I don’t think so, personally. Especially when buying used.

I bought a new 2022 SV 4x4 fully loaded and love it. Had a few issues, but, what first year model of any vehicle doesn't have some issues. Thankfully, the dealership I purchased it from has a fantastic service department and corrected everything promptly. I'm so relieved you didn't complin about hoe "HARD" the steering is. I'll be 64 in three weeks and took my drivers test in 1976 in a truck with three on the tree, manual brakes and manual steering, now that was hard steering. Too many people have become spoiled with the electronic steering. I prefer power steering over electronic steering as I feel power steering gives me more awareness of the terrain.

[@ajfam871]

Thanks bro. I really appreciate your videos and will watch your other ones. I have a turbo hatchback and have wanted a truck for a few years. I love the ranger but do not want a turbo. My wife also owns a Pilot and I love it. I only regret not getting AWD. I have narrowed my picks to either a Frontier or Honda Ridge Line. Either way I’ll be fine. I love that the Ridge line has a higher back seat with vents other mid size trucks do not have this for some reason. I am fine with both trucks ability to tow. I can’t decide. Our Pilot had the old 6spd automatic so I am sure this new Ridge Lines 9spd will feel significantly better. Not have great power and event mpgs if you drive efficiently.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Yeah, the new Pilots (and I'm sure Ridgelines) are pretty sweet. We rented one from Turo on a vacation earlier this year and the trans was great. I think either truck would be great, but the Frontier would edge out the Ridgeline in offroad capability, but if you're not going rock crawling, you'd probably get better gas mileage and a little more utility out of the Ridgeline.

It has all the features I want at the right price, comparatively speaking. One feature it’s missing is lane keep assist/lane centering…I know that’s due to its hydraulic steering. The cruise control issue is not a big deal for me.

Otherwise, totally love my truck!

It did take a bit for mine to smooth out. I had 2500 miles on mine by July of this year and then I drove it all the way from Indiana to Wyoming and spent 2 weeks offroading it and sleeping in my roof top tent.

I have a one man lawn mowing hustle, 6x10 utility trailer, 2' sides and drop down gate, with zero turn, push mower, weed eater and blower. I will say I drive the truck more for other reasons than the little bit I use it for the mowing hustle. This is the truck I'll retire with. I've owned lots of trucks big and small. Years ago I owned a 92' chevy S-10 Tahoe 4.3 V6. All I can say is WOW! Manufacturers have come a long way with power! This engine, transmission, styling, tech and comfort are spot on! I do not like the nanny's. I suppose it's nice to be able to push a button and disable some of them. It drove me nuts the first time i hooked up my trailer and tried backing up...frontier slammed on the brakes and stopped me dead in my tracks. I thought that I had it figured out by disabling emergency braking in vehicle settings but then sadly mistaken by default it came back on when i shut vehicle off and turned it back on. Only thing so far that has me a little frustrated is a noise coming from the rear of the vehicle when I take off from a stop sometimes. Sounds like something is loose, or squeaky. I'll be getting under the truck to inspect once weather is better.

a few things on interior and exterior i would add at least on the pro 4x i bet is on the base model as well. when you key less remote start when the truck is warming up it has both inside door defrost but also has defrost on the door handles so if for some reason you had ice on the door handle it would melt it. I found that to be amazing in Oklahoma. I have had mine since feb of 23 very close to your model. my frustrations not hates, I dont understand for being a pro4x why i had to upgrade the center mirror to get a garage door opener, I dont understand for being a pro4 x why i had to pay to upgrade a locking rear tail gate..

I didn't know about the door defrost, that's cool. I had the same thoughts on no homelink garage controls on the mirror. My Pro4X came with the locking tailgate, but maybe it was part of one of the packages I got...

[@morningdrums]

I did see some with a 6 inch lift and bigger tires looks amazing. Just thinking if i should go with this or something else.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

It kind of depends on what you want. I've seen a lot of trucks with the 6" lift which seems like a lot on these trucks (could cause driveline problems and other issues). There's also a lot more cutting to do to run 35's on the 6" lift which kind of seems to be the point of the larger lift. I personally have a 2nd gen Frontier with a Titan swap, 4" lift and 35" tires so when I bought this truck, I wanted to keep it a bit more mild so I didn't have to chop up the truck or do extensive mods. Reliability and simplicity were my goals so I went with the smaller lift and 33's. Again, just depends on your goals!

Same here. That's why I just don't buy anything that is more than $10k to $13k. My last purchase was a 2010 Nissan Versa 1.8 hatchback with 151k miles for $4700 cash. I also have a 2015 Lexus GS 350 with 190k. That one was $13k. I have a 2003 chevy trailblazer with 200k miles. I paid $10k for that one and I still have it. So I bought like 3 good used vehicles for less than $30k. I have zero car payments. And it's insanely expensive to insure a newer vehicle. No thanks.

[@VicklessFalcon]

Came across your video looking at reviews for the Frontier. I think it's what I'm going to go with in the near future. I currently have a 2010 Ram that doesn't really meet my needs anymore. I've narrowed it down to the Frontier or Ford Maverick, as I'm not impressed with the Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado, and Toyotas in general due to their dealerships. I think an SV Frontier would be great because it's smaller but not compact like the Maverick, and I could still tow some things if I wanted to. I wish the MPGs were a little higher but it's a pickup at the end of the day. This was a very helpful review!

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

I was a Dodge guy fro a while but had some transmission issues with my Dakota so I swapped to a Nissan and then I've had probably 15 of them in the last 20 years and they've been great.

Great overview ! looking to possibly get a new Pro4x - you mentioned about previous truck/bed rack compatibility - do you by chance know, or have any experience with the Thule Xporter Pro rack compatibility on the Frontier? Thule website is inconclusive - the only thing I can find is something about the rail/tiedown system needing to be removed. Thanks again !

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Thanks! Unfortunately, I don’t really have any experience with that. You might try giving them a shout and see if you can verify? Or I wonder if there are dedicated third GEN frontier groups out there where people have verified that it works. I know that I literally installed a second GEN, xtrusion Overland bed rack on my third GEN with all stock hardware and had no problems.

[@markcarlile7380]

I thought the cost cutting measures in the 24 frontier pro 4x was a little weird, receiver hitch or harness for it, mine didn’t come with blind spot or heated mirrors, and the VCCS system that will cause headlight led flicker of the battery isn’t charged, and the weird door lock issues like the driver hanging up in like half lock position

Hi from Youngstown Ohio. We're boaters and my son wants to buy a boat for himself. He'll need a tow vehicle. Tacoma was the choice because of this = I owned a 2009 Nissan Altima with the shit Jatco tranny. I got rid of it and picked up a Camry. Heard Frontiers are also Jatco- But I learned the Frontier is a good truck and no comparsion to the front wheel drive crap. Why have you been commited to Frontier and not Taco? All due to price? Thanks, Tom

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Hey Tom, I've had quite a few Nissans and 3 of them have been the trucks/SUV's and they've all been great. The Altimas (unfortunately) had CVT transmissions that did have a lot of problems. I like the new Frontier because it has a true 9 speed, non-CVT transmission. So far, they have been pretty bullet proof. I have 20K on mine and no worries but know others with 2022's with 70K miles and no issues at all. I love Nissans, but wouldn't buy one with a CVT at all due to the poor reliability of those. But their normal transmissions are generally pretty reliable.

[@BigHouse907]

I like hydraulic steering. When driving on slippery roads in particular, I like the road feedback. My only complaint is your choices get limited if you want a 6’ bed. In Canada they sell a King Cab Pro 4X, why not in the US? 😡

As far as the steering, I love the heavier feel of their hydraulic system. It inspires confidence in most driving situations and I have no problem whipping it into tight spots.

I have the 2022 SV 4x4, just hit 31k, went from Northern Virginia to Chicago and back and was a comfortable ride the entire time. I love it, like look at it and smile sort of love. I do have dreams of overlanding on the weekends while being my daily driver on the weekdays. The only gripe I have is I take my time getting out + being a larger person (are we allowed to say what we are lol?) and end up 'sitting' on the seat controls so I end up having the seat go flat, and other "me" issues (being a larger person + CCW setup = a bit harder trying to get to seatbelt/scuffs, etc). The truck itself is good and I appreciate the heavy steering. It just feels right y'know? Sorry for many edits, I press save and remember something else lol.

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

Nice truck choice! Totally get your concerns with the seat and have heard that from other folks too. I have seen somebody that 3D printed a smaller, more angled power seat control that they said helps keep it from getting pushed when getting out so maybe something like that would help? And agreed on the steering. I was kind of caught off guard when I started to see a bunch of people complaining about it, :D.

@@AllThingsOverlanding I'll have to look into those power seat controls.

Maybe in the last 11K miles I've noticed it a few times, but just assumed it was the trans being a little slow to react when I would roll up to a roundabout and was slowing down but then suddenly floored.

My Ford F150 drives me nuts when backing up my boat with my tailgate down. My truck does not apply the breaks, but beeps at me very loudly.

I personally do prefer the cloth seats over the leather seats for a few reasons. To get the leather, you have to opt for the (I think it's called) comfort package which is about $2750 and includes sunroof and some other options (been a year since I bought the truck so I may be off on that, but that's what I remember). To me, it wasn't worth that additional cost for those things. Also, I've seen some evidence that the leather seats (most of which are actually vinyl) are showing wear way worse than the cloth seats. Then lastly, since you can get heated cloth seats, that was the primary thing I wanted, living in the midwest. Hope that helps!

I've had about 12 or 13 Nissans at this point in my life and they've all been great. I've got an 08 Frontier with 218K miles in my driveway and the original transmission is still going strong in that. Nissan also has a 5 year 60K mile powertrain warranty, so if something happens, it should happen in that time period, so I feel fine about it. I've got 15,500 on mine now and just got back from a 1500 mile trip to MO and back and it still drives like new. I figure worst case you can always lease it or buy it and then trade it as that warranty gets close if you would have problems, but I personally am not worried about it. It's always a risk though, so totally understand the hesitation.

Is this normal?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

I've noticed that too. I think it may just be the way the 9 speed behaves, because the programming is trying to prevent unnecessary gear hunting, so if it immediately shifted down when you let your foot of the gas and then got back on the gas, you'd have no power and it would have to shift back down. At least that's my guess, haha.

what do you think for 2023 SV 6ft bed for overlanding? great review of pro4x

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

I think it's a great option. The only real difference between the trucks is the rear locker, but if you're not doing more challenging trails, you'd be fine. The longer bed would be nice for a camper type set up and I believe they have higher payload.

@@AllThingsOverlandingdoes the sv come with a limited slip or it’s open differential?

[@AllThingsOverlanding]

@@dohc1974 The SV’s have an open diff. Pro-4x gets the locking diff but those have pretty much always been the only two options.

@@AllThingsOverlanding thanks for the answer. Sucks to hear though, never understood why a manufacturer would sell a off-road vehicle with a open differential. Locking differential should be a standard equipment even on base model trucks.
