I just bought this truck...I can't believe how many people are bashing this truck. Saying it is still outdated. I completely disagree, it's a pickup truck, not a sports car. I looked at tacomas, canyons, and rangers. All good trucks, but the Nissan remains a simple honest truck, I love it.

Couldn't agree more. I bought mine in January and have zero regrets. The interior is ergonomically correct, seats are super comfy. Only complaint is the stereo is lacking high frequency sounds. Lots of bass with the Fender system but no top end. Its the right truck at the right time IMO.

Only thing that was bothersome was the gas consumption as it was thirsty. Hopefully they’ve improved this however not a game changer. Keep up the great work!

Love that color. It seems that Nissan’s well on their way to making a comeback according to many people. Was talking to my local dealer and they said that they can’t keep Pathfinders on the lot. The Frontier seems like a good choice. I also think you hit the nail on the head with it being a good powertrain. The Tacoma 3.5 has been a disappointment since it replaced the fantastic 4.0.

Love this truck. But one thing I don't understand is that front skid plate with the "shovel" lip. Seems like that will just dig straight into a hill instead of deflecting or gliding over. I would think they would design a backward overlap so nothing gets caught. Or just no gap at all.

Just an FYI, just because the headlights are wired to be on at the same time doesn't make the fog-lights into "driving lights". Mounting location and beam pattern are the things which will differentiate between the two. Also due to regulation (DOT or NHTSA, I believe) fog lights are wired to turn-off when a vehicle's high-beams are actuated. I don't know if the regulations mandate whether the regular low beams must be on or not, however, it seems all factory installations are being designed, wired, and delivered this way. This isn't to say people aren't self-wiring up aftermarket lights, whether fog or driving lights, anyway they want especially if hard-wiring a relatively simple switch and relay set-up. If any company is delivering fog lights which can be turned on without the headlights on at the same time, do let us know. I can see the utility of this as I've been in very thick fog where that might have been of benefit and like that idea the more I think about it. Otherwise, thanks for the review and as a current '17 Tacoma owner, I could be swayed over to this new Pro4X should I get another truck.
@EngineAdventures
@EngineAdventures 2 жыл бұрын
Thanks for watching and commenting! There are many manufacturers that allow the fog lights to be on with just the running/parking lights on. Forcing the headlights to be on with the fog lights negates te effectiveness of the fog lights because the headlights will reflect off the fog/snow and limit visibility. I drove through a blizzard in a vehicle that required the headlights to be on for the fog lights to be on. It was easier to see with just the parking lights on than with the headlight/fog light combo. However, I couldn't drive like that due to other vehicles potentially not being able to see me. I think there are states with laws that require the headlights to be on with the fog lights, but practically speaking it doesn't make sense.

All 3 (you're current Frontier included) are great trucks and I think it just comes down to personal preference. See if you can test drive a Gladiator and a new Frontier back to back to see which one you prefer.

The Colorado Z71 is about the same, except I prefer an e-locket over the G80. Ranger Tremor is a little smoother at higher speeds, but as far as getting through tougher locations, the Tremor and Pro-4x are about the same. I also prefer the power train on the Frontier over any other mid-size truck (except maybe the diesel Gladiator, but that is kind of in a class of its own).

It's actually not very impressive for a 2022. It's pretty basic. The 2016 tacoma has a better system and it came out 6 years ago. With that being said, it's good enough and probably all you will ever need. Looks like a nice truck so far.
@EngineAdventures

Land Rover had this type of system in the late 90's. Toyota's Atrac came out in the early 2000's, jeep, Nissan, and most others followed by the mid to late 2000's. Yes ABLS is not new, but it works very well, I'd say even better than most others. Unlike Toyota and Ford, there aren't a plethora of settings that really don't make a huge difference. In the Frontier, 4wd high allows for more wheel slip and less braking action for sand, mud, and snow. 4wd low is very quick to brake the spinning wheels for slow speed, precise movements. It's a great system overall.

@@EngineAdventures I own a 2019 trd sport and it does exactly the same thing As atrac, but I also own a 2016 trd off road and the trd off road has a completely different brake system, even the brake booster is different and has higher pressure over a traditional atrac and whatever nissan uses. So basically it can brake the system harder and better. Also the modes do make a difference , for example in sand and mud it allows more slippage but still distributes power to the wheel with traction. The traditional system in the trd sport or nissas won't let it slip enough and you basically have to turn off the traction control or you get stuck. So basically the modes in some scenarios will make a difference but if you know what you are doing it doesn't really matter. Either way the 2016 trd off road is a better 4x4 system than the nissan. Crawl control while mostly a gimmick has been very helpful in a couple scenarios. With that being said you don't need it lol.

Yeah I've got a video of a 2020 Tacoma TRD Pro up on this channel. I'm sure the system works well, and my guess is the oversized brake components are for the support aggressive crawl control.

Nissan and others need to have some of those systems turned off when in 4 high. My 2002 Frontier would have coasted up that hill. I do like the 2022 Frontier.

Unless your 2002 is modified I don't think it would have made it up the hard line. If I remember correctly Nissan added ABLS in 2005, also I believe they added the optional rear locker in the D40, 2005 range (might have been available earlier, but not that I know of). This hill is steeper and the ruts are deeper than they look on camera.

@@EngineAdventures Truck was used for driving utility access roads in the mountains and to go up ski runs in Mt Baldy. Truck was a tank. And was the supercharged model. I do love all the real world off road driving that is done on KZbin now. Seeing channels like yours and others really help with making a choice. I'm looking at the Pro-4x, but waiting to see how bad Toyota screws up the 4Runner. The Pathfinder was nice when it competed with the 4Runner, but now it competes with the Highlander.

Took a rock from a truck on the freeway, it cracked about half way across by the next morning, and all the way by the next day. I heard the hit on the glass, but didn't see the chip.

Yeah, they do a really good job of keeping the media vehicles in great condition, but it went from a tiny chip to a full crack in one day during the week I had it. Cold nights and fairly warm days will make the cracks grow really fast.

I'm more of a tall skinny tire guy, I'd prefer a 255/80r17, to a 285/70r17 or 285/75r17 all are roughly the same height, but about the 255s are an inch skinnier. Stock tires aren't too bad on this thing though.

@@EngineAdventures That is what I thought. I love your channel bro. I told you in the past that I subscribed because how consistent you do your test from different angles, from the inside, the outside, the 4L, 4H, Locker, traction on/off, the angle of approach, the departure etc. You make thinks very easy to understand. It helps us on the other side of the screen make an easier decision. I have been watching a few of your videos lately because I am again looking to get another midsize truck and your information is very helpful. Keep up the good work.

As far as my testing goes different tires would have made no difference at all. Yes having the correct tires for the terrain you are on is very important, however my steep hill climb test is more about how well the vehicle transfers power to the wheels with traction.
