[@Commentleaver-c6x]

The Nissan Frontier will prove to be the most reliable of the current midsize trucks, with its naturally aspirated V6.

[@revnation_auto]

Of course, simple design and a great truck.

[@thewireman134]

Nissan is a bottom feeder truck, junk.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

@@thewireman134 wrong, totally wrong.

[@Mikef1969]

I don’t agree with that at all. I test drove every midsize truck before I purchased my AT4. It was by far the nicest looking and preforming truck for the price. If you want cheap, buy Nissan they are not giving them away because they are reliable or comfortable..

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

@@Mikef1969 if you want something that will blow up prematurely, buy a GM.

[@PrepperDawg]

I agree, at that price, it beats the Tacoma up and down all day long. And I've owned many Toyotas.

[@revnation_auto]

Same here

[@DFRANCOO80]

Just to let you guys know after that purchase you had to go back to the dealer to replace the entire headlights that takes between 3-4 weeks this trucks comes with lights issues that happen to me two weeks ago

[@jmua8450]

They should have made the top of the door panels soft touch.

[@Holden-McGroin]

I got one of these about 2 months ago(company truck) and it’s even better than I expected. Installed an additional 2” lift. It looks and feels so premium inside and out. The turbo4 engine smokes the 5.3 V8 in driveability and responsiveness. The low-end torque is just so good! It will cruise north of 80 without hardly touching the gas pedal and will get 25mpg highway if driven correctly. My only real complaints are lack of interior storage and the mirrors are too small.

[@revnation_auto]

That is awesome my friend! Awesome truck for sure!

[@quoththeraven7]

All new Ex-taco owners are coming over 😂

[@Mikef1969]

I’m one of those people… had the TDR sport premium ordered saved $7k and got a much better truck…

[@PrepperDawg]

Great looking truck, best looking in this class for sure. Bang for the buck, I would go with the Colorado Trail Boss. I keep vehicles for a long time so realiability would be a concern.

[@revnation_auto]

I agree, I would go trail boss unless I get a killer deal on the AT4 which is doubtful.

[@Mikef1969]

My local GMC dealer offers lifetime power train warranty on the AT4. I paid $48k and mine is fully loaded. I spend a lot of time in my truck and the comfort in this truck was worth the extra money IMO. Drove 8hrs and didn’t have to shift my ass one time during the trip.. only my 94 300zx has better seats than this truck…

[@user-mb4wh2xf5c]

These trucks are very expensive and I don't know where you are but my dealers have 12 of them and some have been sitting for over 3 months.

[@sabastian4858]

You're confusing eye candy with quality. Price is absurd.

[@revnation_auto]

It’s expensive for sure

The Frontier would be a better buy based on longevity and reliability ,,,and cost up front

[@revnation_auto]

It’s a solid buy. A lot of people just don’t like Nissan though.

[@chabbysrides]

It’s a hot truck for sure. My local dealer had one of these same equipment in yellow and it didn’t sell so they dealer traded it. I was close to buying, but the color just didn’t fit. Great video!

[@revnation_auto]

Yeah that color sucks. I would pass on it as well. Thanks for watching!

[@romanmoroni2785]

Good looking truck! It would be my first choice in that class.

[@revnation_auto]

I’m torn between this and the Colorado Trail Boss. There can be quite a massive price difference and the Trail Boss is just as capable. That interior on the AT4 is a really good place to be though.

[@romanmoroni2785]

@@revnation_auto I agree. Either one is fine with me.

[@JCT442]

Been eyeing a '24 Acadia AT4 but I just can't bring myself around to buy a four banger turbo...

[@revnation_auto]

Those are pretty nice. Maybe shop some of the older models.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

The car wizard says never buy an Acadia.

[@revnation_auto]

Yes, he doesn’t like many GM SUV’s. If you can find one way back with the 3800 V6 in it, he strongly recommends those engines. Mostly Buicks and Oldsmobiles.

[@Commentleaver-c6x]

@@revnation_auto yeah, him and the car care nut basically only recommend anyone ever by a Toyota or Lexus.

[@revnation_auto]

And that’s why I stopped watching both of them. There’s more to cars than Toyota. I get really annoyed when mechanics just do nothing but beat that drum. I nearly had to declare a lemon law on my 2016 Tacoma. My wife’s 2012 Camry is a complete turd, still runs but is falling apart and an awful driving experience. Those are the top two, and some are crap, just like every other brand.

[@mcjogom]

👍👍👍

[@6ftfox]

Compared to a TRT pro Toyota $67,000 here in Las Vegas they got them marked up to 81 grand

[@revnation_auto]

Wow that’s gross

[@lettuce235]

You said that they could have done a better job with the center console what should they have done

[@revnation_auto]

More padding on the top, in counsel light, deeper, and duel charging ports.

[@furmanmackey5479]

Knock about $20,000.00 off the price tag and I might be interested. No? Oh well, I guess I'll just hang onto my high mileage '05 Chevy Colorado 4X4 with its five-cylinder engine and much higher MPG.

[@revnation_auto]

I like those older Colorados with the 5cyl. Hard to find a well kept one nowadays.

[@furmanmackey5479]

@@revnation_auto Found mine by pure dumb luck and, believe it or not, an honest used car dealer who keeps a few "beater" pickups on his lot. They tend to have rather high mileage, but they are good knock around trucks.

[@revnation_auto]

Yeah that’s how it works sometimes. I found my Ranger on FB. I looked at like 10 before I bought one. They were all in terrible shape. I knew I could fix this one easily so I pulled the trigger. Keep that truck for as long as possible.

[@Mikef1969]

I know they are expensive, but compared to all the other midsized trucks it was the best looking and way cheaper than a new taco(my old truck). They have the best seats in the market IMO, I did get mine fully loaded for $48k but included from my dealer was a lifetime power train warranty. Added the 100k bumper to bumper warranty. Mine only had the 20” tires/rims added by the dealer. I get so many compliments on this truck and it’s a great little truck. If you want cheap go with the Nissan but crappy interior crappy seats even in the fully loaded models. Best value for the price IMO better for off road also than the trailboss with more clearance on approach angles and departure angles, plus it looks way better IMO..

[@furmanmackey5479]

@@Mikef1969 I'm glad you found, and could afford, a truck set up the way you wanted for the most part. But I don't see The Lovely Bride and I coming up off the hip, so to speak, and paying that kind of money for a truck, especially anything from GM or Ford, that does nothing my old beater truck can't do for us or our trusty, bone stock, daily driver RAM 1500 5.7L 4X4 quad cab pickup can't do even better.

[@redbird444]

Answer to the question? ABSOLUTELY NOT.

[@revnation_auto]

It’s a lot of money for sure. Will be a good used by in a couple years.
