I have a 2024 Pro 4X. I really like it. It goes everywhere. My old Jeep would go. I did add a 2 inch lift. One thing I’d like to say on the Internet everybody says how great they are including me. Just wonder how come I never see any on the street. Live near Phoenix Az.

Reply to opinions of Fender sound system.Ifind it okay,but no where near premium.

[@robertakin3702]

I have a 23 frontier SV with the premium package and it has the LED headlights leather seats and the sun roof. And the fender sound system is DEFINITELY worth the upgrade! But I love the way yours looks with the upgrades and hopefully I can start getting mine modded in a similar style soon!! Keep up the excellent content!

[@JediKnife]

Wow what a magnificent view! Truck is awesome!

[@CanadianCruisin]

@JediKnife one of my favorite spots. It's even better on a clear day

[@onefastcyclist]

These are GREAT trucks - My 2019 PRO4X with a modest Old Man Emu lift is still going strong !

[@clintshanks2538]

I have 22 P4X fully load like yours except mine is white. I have 103K miles so far with no issues. In regards to the Fender Audio, I absolutely love it, but I really think you will love it or hate it depending on what you listen to. It is Fender, so if you are a Rock guy like me, you will love it. I rock my Pantera and Tool all the time. If you like Rap or Hip Hop, the bass for that is not good. Mine is not lifted but I did upgrade tires to Falken AT4Ws and they are soooo much better the stock tires. One of my favorite things about the truck is the 9 speed. I would admit that I didn’t like it at first but that all changed when I took it off road. The crawl ratio is amazing in this truck. I think the only one that has a better crawl is Jeep. The other thing I like about the 9 speed is with 4 Lo. I don’t have to stop, neutral, shift back to 4 hi between obstacles. I can just take 4Lo to sixth gear and cruise like 4 hi to the next technical part. The gearing is really amazing. Great vid and great truck.

[@NoName-fx9zi]

I really hope this upcoming Honda Nissan merger doesn't do away with the Frontier. Easily their best vehicle.

Your truck looks good and ready for adventure👍. Nissan was smart to stick with a V6 naturally aspirated engine.

[@Blob-xm3fq]

Wow, I thought I was the only person that had the rattling seat issue. I don’t go off road with the truck , but the roads are so bad where I live I can actually see the seat moving.

[@WayneHall-c4v]

I have a 2022 with 68000 kms. Agree 100 percent on the tires. Had one issue with the sensors and it was fixed under warranty. It is my third Frontier. These are just a good truck. I would recommend them.

[@MarkLevesque-h1z]

Nice truck. I have a 2023 SV king cab. The 6 foot bed was a must for my uses. I will admit, sometimes i wish i had those few extra inches in the cab. Otherwise I have no complaints. Adding a lift and some AT tires soon.

[@CHINGLAW21]

So I live in the lower mainland as well. Got my 25 P4X 2 months ago. I've found the stock Hancooks are just fine. Obv in Vancouver it's been raining none stop, and drove the Coq in that snow storm earlier this week and found them completely fine

[@CanadianCruisin]

@@CHINGLAW21 maybe they improved them a bit. Mine sucked in the rain.

[@monocogenit1]

I have a 23' pro4x. Kinda love it. Especially considering the price. Got it new in may of 23' for $42otd. It came with none of the three available packages ( I think tech, convenience, luxury). So it was relatively cheap. Only thing it had was tow hitch and plug added( guessing by the dealer??). I didn't want that stuff anyways.

[@CanadianCruisin]

@monocogenit1 yeah when I bought mine it was about 10k less than any of the other trucks at that time.

[@tonyb.5768]

I have a 23 P4X wish the turning radius was better so far so good 👍🏻 love the heated seats

[@jaleru]

4:45 Bro is filming this in Middle Earth. That view is crazy!

[@rodneymanor2000]

I put in a billiebars hard foam tailgate cover and while it was off lubed up the locking mechanism in the tail gate and it hasn't hung up since. Also, I always turn up the trebel and the bass but I dont find the sound system that bad. It's definitely not as good as the harmon kardon system in my bmw but I think its passable. Only had my camera hang up once. I drive mine more on road trips so i just hit 28k over this christmas. My biggest gripe is the camera quality. Wish i could upgrade the cameras on the truck.

so i bought a 2024 pro 4X and added a few thing you have like the decals in tailgate and the grill like yours added the raptor light you suggested then add a roll / sports bar and a 32-inch light bar then a Z1 off road leveling kit witch to me makes it look nicer and does make it easier to get into truck without smacking my head on door roof lol

[@CanadianCruisin]

@ryanmerkel9167 i think its stock with the pro4x now

[@prodogey69]

Love this truck. I have the midnight edition which I didn't realize was only made for one year, It's been solid. And exactly what I wanted. A VQ V6 Nissan engine, if any wants to look up how many year Nissan VW series motor, please do. It started with the first Maxima, so if anyone knows how to make a V6..... Just saying On top of that I found a cool fact about the frontier, it comes with a Nissan GTR variable OIL pump transmission has been great. It kind be a little touchy on take of every here and there or when towing. Everything is smooth overall. It's definitely not the fastest truck vs some of the others with turbo's, but it's one less thing to worry about in the long run. VERY well rounded truck.

[@patricklachance3187]

Got rid of my 22 Pro 4X after 2 years. I miss the power and that's it. So many bugs and weird quirks. Living with it in northern Alberta showed how crappy this truck is in cold weather, from a clunky tranny to black screens and many things in between. It pulled great and was somehow comfy for the driver, but that's it.

[@cyborg2048]

What did you replace it with?

[@patricklachance3187]

@ oh, you won’t like this… We cut expenses so no new vehicle. I went back to an old love and got a 2015 4Runner. It does what I did with the Pro 4X and is overall much more reliable and comfy, particularly for our kids! I wouldn’t get a new 4R/Taco nor any Nissan product.

[@markgobuffalo6490]

I have a 2012 Pro 4x and thinking about upgrading. Mine has a Rockford Fosgate and it rocks. I love my truck but the time has arrived.

[@TheSouthPaw]

I agree with most things said here, the Fender system is ok for stock but pretty weak overall, especially considering its the "upgrade"

[@shotakuervo]

Lets face it, most if not all of "premium audio" upgrades (Bose, Alpine, Infinity etc...) are pretty much lacking. But to get the big screens or upgraded packages, these are bundled all together whether you want it or not. And they're so tied into the other functions of the vehicle hard to just remove or bypass without special intergration equipment.

[@imcrux6583]

Just one correction, the headlights are now available in the ‘24 and on SL trims!

[@CanadianCruisin]

@@imcrux6583 that's awesome. Thanks for letting me know

[@shotakuervo]

Nice rig. This is the mid-size pickup I want, as you stated the last of the naturally aspirated engines left on the market. The only downside to the Nissan Frontier IMO, is the lack of aftermarket support. Coming from a Jeep Wrangler, this is disheartening.

[@CanadianCruisin]

@@shotakuervo there are quite a few manufacturers out there now. Definitely nothing compared to the jeeps though

[@brochilldude]

Aftermarket suspension can increase articulation as well as the clearance. Which is actually critical for these trucks if you offroad as the factory wheel travel is abysmal.

[@n00bstacle]

Man the new frontier really does look good! Just so expensive for a midsize truck

[@CanadianCruisin]

@n00bstacle yeah and it's crazy to think its the cheapest option still. Things are nuts right now

[@warrendonaldson4144]

Rust issues in your area? Here in Maine... Nissan seems to have a few rust issues. Still considering a Frontier..

[@CanadianCruisin]

@warrendonaldson4144 the exhaust has quite a bit of surface rust but other than that it's not bad. My 2018 pathfinder has the same thing with the exhaust but it's holding up great so far and I've never treated anything under there.

[@rickwalton8490]

When you were talking about the light for the front collision sensor are you referring to the blinking yellow dash light? I've seen that because of the heavy, heavy fog we had here in south central Wisconsin.

[@CanadianCruisin]

@rickwalton8490 yes that's the one. I think its 2 cars crashing into each other if I remember right.

[@Troublemaker-g8r]

I see it on my Mazda as well

[@stevenpeterson7234]

I have a 23 Nissan Titan Pro-4x and got to say it's an awesome truck!! Im gonna make a video here soon of everything I've done to it!! Better hang on to your butts!! 😂

[@CanadianCruisin]

@stevenpeterson7234 maybe ill add a titan to the garage one day

[@sturdyvw]

Fix for the seat rattle, get in the back seat, put your foot on the seat back and push hard enough to bend it slightly on one side. I’m talking like 1/8 inch after you let go, so no one will notice sitting in it. Solved my rattling completely.

[@morningstarquaid3464]

This is the last standing truck v6. I love Toyota but I’m scared as hell buying a new one that 4 cylinder turbo I don’t know what to do I love the way the Tacoma drives hate the way the frontier dives this will be my first truck

[@CanadianCruisin]

They're both awesome trucks.

[@Outdoorswithmikey]

It’s a great truck. Had 4 F150s loaded and this is a great fun ride. Negatives still pop up when I think of the trembling passenger seat (on bumpy roads), lack of auto up/down switches for all four windows, and lack of tailgate lock with key fob. The worse is the navigation system. The outdated maps and voice recognition is a huge miss.

[@shotakuervo]

Eh, I believe your smartphone is more powerful and useful as a GPS, but the lack of resolution in the 360 cameras is a huge miss.

[@kagu6856]

Great review! Just curious, how often do you use the rear locker, or ever 4x4 on the service road. I am asking because I plan to go Dempster Highway in a year or two, and road condition should be pretty much just like the one in your video. So I wonder if Pro4X is the one I need, especially that I don't plan to do any hardcore offroad.

[@CanadianCruisin]

@kagu6856 on the roads like this video you don't even need 4x4. I use it a lot on the trails that come off the service roads though. 4lo is nice to have sometimes as well.

[@Joes_Aquatics]

How’s the transmission?

[@CanadianCruisin]

@@Joes_Aquatics seems ok so far.

[@bscabl]

ive done the tailgate lube [spray grease] - worked like a charm

[@NuclearT3acup]

I really want one of these but I'm worried that its just not as capable offroad as my jeep is. I really want a pickup instead of the jeep and would like to get something that has better on road manners than the solid axle gladiator. Im still thinking the solid axle 4 way locker jeeps seem to be better when it comes to some more hardcore wheeling. I don't know.

[@CanadianCruisin]

@NuclearT3acup i don't think much compares to the gladiator/wrangler offroad at least in stock form. They're all nice but for the type of off roading I do this truck has been awesome so far.

I love the NA V6 but the pricing of the Frontier is high for what you get, I wish GM would have offered the old 285hp 305 lb ft 4.3 liter still offered in the Express van with a 10 speed from the 1500. Because they only offer the turbo 4 banger 8 speed combo I'll keep my 156K 2019 Colorado Diesel. Leveled on 32s without the chin spoiler I still get 28 MPG.
