2023 Nissan Frontier SV Midnight Edition

[@swampssa]

As a guy who traded in his 2018 Tacoma for a Frontier…this thing is soooo much more reliable.

[@jaymeparker27]

Good to know

[@snanguidry3283]

I was thinking of doing that as well

[@shanekunde7302]

How so?

[@snanguidry3283]

@@shanekunde7302 vq engines are pretty solid

[@johnvall5809]

How can you tell that is reliable already in a new model and more reliable on top of it, reliability is determined with time and mileage and percentage

[@paintedwolf8394]

I just bought a white one. I love it. Its a rocket! Drives like a full size.

[@modernrustics5069]

Just bought this truck in grey. Loving it

[@Blue-moon12]

The Midnight looks very slick. I have a glacier white Pro 4x

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you. I like the white also

[@soteriology400]

Same here, love it! ❤

[@DanzigDemento]

I had a Titan XD Cummins. Bad ass but the emissions garbage was a constant headache. It came time to delete it or trade it in and I traded it in. Leaving the Frontier with proven, durable and reliable drivetrain makes them more appealing than most domestic competition.

[@jaymeparker27]

I loved my titan (07 se KK 4x4) almost wanted another one but a midsized truck is what fit my needs the most. Very happy with the frontier

[@jackleprevost9021]

I have the same truck...the seat thing has finally been answered. Thought I was loosing my mind. It is a great truck!

[@jaymeparker27]

Yes sir, it had me guessing for a few days also. Ran across the answer on a fb group then paid attention when I was getting out and sure enough . It was me 😆

[@josephorr5175]

TY for the review. Honestly, for 20+ years, my cars / trucks have had compasses. I've never really used them for anything, especially now with GPS driven mapping. So maybe Nissan did the right thing after all and simplified.

[@jaymeparker27]

Same here. 03 chevy 2500 was the first vehicle I had with a digital compass in it. I do know the pro x package has one along with on screen navigation. Just not an option in this truck. Have to use the ol reliable cellphone 😅

[@TRDTalk]

That midnight package really takes the truck to a new level. Congratulations!

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you .

[@Ryan152103]

Soooo good. Just bought this truck with the midnight package but in grey with the black trim. These trucks are so good.

[@jaymeparker27]

@Ryan152103 nice! Still loving it after a year. Just a great drive

[@veteranveteran9915]

I had a 2003 Nissan frontier supercharged 4x4 long bed crew cab. That was the most underpowered small truck I had ever driven in my life at the time. I'm so glad Nissan has redone the frontier with a stronger base engine that's more reliable❤

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

There is only one engine available now, the 3.8 v6.

[@Ghostedninja]

I have the same truck just got done taking off the front lower air damn today. Easy and it gives it a much more aggressive look

[@jdev232]

Very nice! 👍 had one black truck in my life. 91 s-10. Used to take 3 hours to wash trying to keep water marks and dust off. 😂 i stick with white now

[@dwb142]

Black is a beautiful color on a vehicle, but like you, I’ve only owned one for the same reasons.

[@jaymeparker27]

Definitely beautiful when it's clean. I'm not one to wash a vehicle consistently but I will have to with this one.

[@guttertierbot]

@@jaymeparker27 get it ceramic coated. Will help alot with ease of keeping it clean

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you

[@sharkskin3448]

Congratulations on a fine truck! If it truly suits you, it doesn't matter who approves.

[@jaymeparker27]

Thanks, I appreciate you

[@SeaCryptWeave]

Great video! Have a good one.

[@christopherdurante3367]

Looking to buy one now, i appreciate your video 👍

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you for the comment

[@voltthrower]

Compass is there if you have navigation. Its on the nav page on your gauge cluster. If you don't have nav and the bigger radio (fender audio) it appears you don't get it.

[@jaymeparker27]

Correct, it's not standard equipment .

[@garynapoli3042]

I know I’m a little late with this but I also cross up to 22 which was scarce at the time and ended up going ridgeline, but only kept it for a year so I guess my question is did you look at the versatility on the Ridgeline 5.4 inch bed, the trunk the swing gatewhatever it is fit in the 4 x 8 plywood in there or sheet rock

[@modernrustics5069]

The compass shows up in your navigation

[@Warbeaver]

Not sure why it's only got a longbox Midnight edition in Canada. Why would they have the crew shortbox foe the US?

[@robertisaac4950]

Looks sick! Such a cool look compared to the old gen tacos. Congrats and enjoy.

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you

[@Garlander]

If you feel like the cruise control is harsh at that it wants to rev up to speed so abruptly instead of gradually, there is a TSB out at the dealer to fix that issue.

[@jaymeparker27]

Thanks! Thats one issue I haven't had with my truck. The down shift on cruise is spot on and doesn't Rev way high.

[@Garlander]

@@jaymeparker27 that's good, I think they fixed it with the mid production 2023 models, the early 2023s and all the 22s were having high revving (basically flooring the gas) issues when getting up to speed while in cruise control. It was really bad but they have a software fix for it now.

[@jaymeparker27]

I believe that is correct. I knew it was a issue at one time. Not the case with mine though. I do live in mostly flat Louisiana also so I'm rarely on any change of elevation more than a slight hill.

[@Garlander]

@@jaymeparker27 oh nice then you're good to go, enjoy your truck, it's beautiful. One thing I recommend for your screen is a screen protector. They screen on my truck was starting to scratch fairly easily. Now I'm protected

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you ! I appreciate the advice

[@justincase9638]

The Pro4X has a compass in the instrument cluster

[@jaymeparker27]

Yes sir. Odd its not standard equipment .

[@Corvenik1]

the pro 4x does actually have a compass on the infotainment screen

[@jaymeparker27]

I noticed that on a pro 4 review video. Hate its not a option on all the models

[@Ashoud_Anobetah]

Every time i open a frontier video there is a Ford f1fiddy ad😅😅😅

[@914made2]

The passenger has a backseat pocket so that the driver can reach back and get anything they want from the backseat. You can’t reach back and retrieve items from behind your own seat.

[@marksullivan8200]

Beautiful truck id suggest having it ceramic coated professionally by a detailer if you dont realize why yet talk to some people that have black vehicals trust me you really want to protect that black paint

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you. I'll definitely look into it

[@garynapoli3042]

I believe you have to get navigation to get the compass

[@jaymeparker27]

Agreed. It comes in the pro4x

[@deanmay338]

Beautiful truck! Nice video!!! Hey, would you mind sharing your payload?

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you. Payload for the crew cab short bed is 1480 lbs.

[@deanmay338]

@@jaymeparker27 yup. I have seen that on the Nissan website. I was wondering about your specific truck given its options. How much do the options eat into the payload of 1,480 lbs? What does your yellow stick on the driver side door jam say for your specific payload? Thanks!

[@jaymeparker27]

Only load numbers on the yellow sticker is for occupants and cargo. " should not exceed 1300lbs " the only info I can find in owners manual and online say the same thing for this specific truck. Crew cab short bed payload, 1480. Max tow 6560

[@deanmay338]

@@jaymeparker27 payload, CCC (cargo carrying capacity), and “occupants/cargo” are the same thing. Your specific truck has 1300 pounds of “payload” or CCC given its specific options. I have seen Frontier Pro4Xs with as little as 1000 or so lbs of payload. I don’t need the off-road capability of Pro4X and value more payload for hauling camping gear when towing our small 2900 lb camper (loaded). Thanks for the update.

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you for the explanation.

[@peroxidejesus]

I always wondered why my seat would be slightly reclined when I get back into the truck haha thought I was going crazy.. I must have been hitting the recline switch by accident

[@jaymeparker27]

Same here first time. Glad it was something simple

[@soteriology400]

Nice! ❤

[@garynapoli3042]

I like your truck. I’m thinking about going to test drive one today debating between the pro X 2 Wheel Dr. and the SV midnight those side steps. Do you find them useless do they get in the way or can you actually use

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you. The steps are useful for us. Makes it easy to just step in the truck. Be careful the first time you go to just reach in the truck and grab something. They can be shin killers 😆

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you for the comment

[@andrewkim6037]

Congrats on the really sweet truck! I want one now too, lol! What are your thoughts on the bed length? Is getting the 6 foot bed worth the extra money?

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you. Coming from a full size with a 6 foot bed I do miss the length. I'm just not a fan of long bed trucks. The look throws it off for me. Just my opinion. But if you need the room, and use your truck bed . the 6 foot opinion definitely serves that purpose .

[@andrewkim6037]

Very true, thanks for the response.@@jaymeparker27

[@SubieandFriends]

Love your truck and great job on getting the midnight package, the upgraded lighting definitely spiffs up the look of the truck, only thing I would question since I like to off-road my vehicle is those side steps, seems like they might hang a bit too low for some off-road situations but nothing a small lift can’t fix…..

[@jaymeparker27]

Thank you! Yes the side steps are low. I don't spend much time off road so it's not an issue for me. They do un bolt from the side rail. you are able to keep the rails almost like rock sliders without the steps.

[@SubieandFriends]

@@jaymeparker27 oh dang that’s really cool

[@vane12685]

Does it not have a place for a plate in the front? I haven't gotten my plates yet but I noticed in the front there isn't anywhere to put it.

[@jaymeparker27]

Yes it comes with the front plate bracket. The dealership might install it in your state. Louisiana doesn't require a front plate. Mine was just laying in the back seat. It's hanging in my garage now 😄

[@vane12685]

I figured LA didn't need it. Hopefully the dealership will do it because I don't see anything there. TX requires a front and it sucks cuz it looks so much better without.@@jaymeparker27

[@jordez1]

I don’t agree with Nissan with limited engine/transmission options. That’s my biggest problem when it comes to purchase a Nissan product now days.

[@mambi74]

Sweet truck - but please take off that dealer decal, just my 2 cents.

[@golocc16]

Any recommendations for bed liners and covers?

[@jaymeparker27]

I purchased the weather tech bedliner . It's been ok so far. I haven't looked at any covers yet. I joined frontier FB group and there is alot of helpful information on this topic .

[@bradh6185]

How often do you find yourself wishing you had a longer bed. I saw one the other day with crew cab and long bed and I thought it looked kind of odd.

[@jaymeparker27]

They do look odd with the 6' bed. I knew going from a full size to a mid size I'd lose some space but it hasn't been a issue. Everything I'll haul fits in the smaller bed. I have a hitch mount bed extension for my kayak . If I need to move anything bigger (couch, furniture, etc) I'll just use a trailer

Yep, from what I can tell the infotainment screen Navigation option on the pro x also has a nav / compass in the dash menu .

Nissan makes an affordable truck.They should do well in sales.That VQ engine will easily get 2 to 3 hundred thousand miles if maintained.

[@JohnnyRebLa]

Sinks to the bottom, as opposed to what a Silverado? Yeah I bet Silverado just floats like a feather compared to a frontier. That was a dumbass comment.

[@boatwerks]

Nice truck I am surprised the mileage is that good with 4wd my 2020 f150 eco boost gets 22 to 27 depending on traffic and 17 mpg towing with a load

Good truck for a tall person like 6’3 ?

It is a spacious truck for sure. Only thing I could recommend is find a dealer and sit in one. I'm short and fat so I'd hate to steer you wrong with incorrect information about a good fit for tall people.

You kept the dealer badge on it 🤢. Bro let’s clean that up please. Congratulations on the new truck. I think I’d like one. How’s insurance on a pickup truck?
