all-new 2022 Nissan Frontier review // The one to beat?

#NissanFrontier2022

#CoupleCarReview
This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2022 Nissan Frontier mid-size pickup truck. A 3.8 L naturally aspirated V6 with a 9 speed automatic transmission, 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. The Frontier’s suspension is built to handle all the bumps, potholes and rocks you encounter. It offers Bilstein shocks which give you better control over rugged terrain. The shocks are standard on the Pro-4X models. The Frontier has a 4x4 drivetrain, 2-speed electronic transfer case with 4-HI and 4-LO, an independent double wishbone front suspension and a rear suspension with solid axles. The smooth shifting 9-speed automatic is good, it is a different automatic transmission than the one we recently reviewed in the new Pathfinder. This one is built by Jatco and designed by Mercedes-Benz. The new Nissan Frontier has a whole new exterior look and I think it could be best in class for styling. It’s rugged on the outside but has a very modern interior. The new Frontier has a bigger, bolder grille with the new Nissan logo and Frontier script. I like the rectangular shaped headlights, which are halogen on the base model, optional LED headlights depending on the trim you choose. The backend is a nice shape, it has standard LED taillights and fog lights and you see Nissan has added the Nissan script. The tailgate is damped so it’s so much easier to lift it up and down with one hand. The base model comes with 16” wheels all other trims 17”. You can get a 5 foot or 6 foot bed. and optional LED lighting in the bed, it is 1.4 inches taller so you get a more useable bed. There are two Frontier cabs to choose from, the King Cab and Crew Cab, the King Cab has seating for 4 and the Crew Cab for 5. The King Cab has rear suicide doors, which provide a larger opening for cargo and the Crew Cab has regular doors. Rear seats on the King Cab can face forward or flip up and out of the way for extra space. The Crew Cab has a 60/40 split rear bench that folds and lies flat. The rear seats flip up for additional cargo space. The interior is more comfortable, quieter and more durable than the outgoing model. It has sound absorbing acoustic glass and there is an available moonroof, 9” touchscreen, the largest in this class, a 10-speaker Fender Audio system, wireless charger, remote-engine start, heated front seats and heated steering wheel. The zero gravity front seats are very comfortable and would be great on a long trip. One from the base model on both the King Cab and Crew Cab gets you get the power driver’s seat, heated front cloth seats, a heated steering wheel and 17” wheels. There are only manual passenger seats available. The top Pro-4X model has the Bilstein off-road performance shockers, underbody skid plates, electronic locking differential, 17” all-terrain tires. You can get leather seats in a package on this model. The new Nissan Frontier has a rugged looking exterior with new rectangular shaped headlights, a bold and boxy grille with the Frontier script and the new Nissan logo. LED headlights are only available on the top trims of both the King Cab and Crew Cab but LED taillights and LED Fog lights are standard on the base model. What’s under the hood? A 3.8L naturally aspirated V6 with a 9-speed automatic transmission, 310 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque. It has the most horsepower in this segment with the Chevy Colorado in second with 308 horsepower. The King Cab S base model comes standard with 16” wheels, all other trims get 17” including the Crew Cab. The standard bed is 59.5 inches/5 feet and the long bed 73.3 inches/6 feet. Nissan is offering a new feature, tailgate lift assist for a smooth, more controlled motion. You can open and close the tailgate with just one hand. The King Cab has seating for four people and the Crew Cab for five. Nissan didn’t make this new Frontier any bigger, they said, their customers love the size.

The engine is why I'm choosing a Frontier over the Tacoma. Every Toyota truck I have driven with the 3.5, Tacoma or 4Runner feels like its working hard to reach in town speed limits. the Frontier even the previous 4.0 had plenty of power, the 3.8 is no different.

[@mowcowbell]

I agree, Nissan did a great job on this redesign. If I had any complaints, it is the several thousand dollar markup that dealers are placing on each truck.

[@bw6415]

It’s sad that the dealers feel the need to put addendums on the trucks…..but not all are doing it. People need to shop around …… my neighbor/friend got one without paying an addendum. These new Frontiers are so good.

[@weirdshibainu]

It's odd. Nissan is the only dealership in my town that doesn't markup

[@dlg5485]

Great review guys! I was planning on purchasing a new Tundra SR5, but I'm leaning toward getting yet another Frontier. Yes, I've owned 2 of them before, so I'm obviously a fan. The size is just right for me, but the reason I was planning to go full size this time is because midsize trucks have gotten almost as expensive as full size. I figured I may as well get a lot more capability for just a few grand more. However, I don't really need a full size truck and I do love this new Frontier. The loaded Pro4X Premium is $44k in the US which is steep, but a loaded Tundra SR5 would be $50k! Truck prices have gotten out of hand!

[@timjones6637]

I agree. So, have you decided which yet? Me, still scratching my head!

[@dlg5485]

@@timjones6637 I decided that I want at least a 6ft bed so I can get a small slide-in camper. Unfortunately, that rules out the Frontier because the payload is too low and the only Frontier you can get with the long bed is a poorly equipped SV. LED headlights, heated seats, etc aren't even available on the long bed Frontier. So I'm going to wait a year and get a Tundra SR5 which will cost in the upper $40s, but at least I won't have to compromise anything.

[@timjones6637]

Agree. I like 6 foot bed for my kayak which is helps loading or unloading. Thank for the output.

Very good looking truck for sure, that green is gorgeous, just can't believe they didn't update it for 16 years. One thing about Nissan is that they have the most comfortable seats in it's class, even better than my new GV70's seats.

[@shaneanderson8358]

Not a lot of people know about their global market, Nissan did make a revised version. It’s called the Navara over seas and it’s a modern diesel. However our regulations are to strict for it to make it successful in North America. A very beautiful truck as well and they released it for the global Morley around the time the frontier should have been updated with new looks. I have the 2010 frontier pro4x in alert red and I love it. It’s lifted on mud tires and it’s never given me any trouble. Just change the oil. I’ll definitely be looking to get a new alert red Pro4X in January 🤟🏼

[@HiPlains1]

I've heard on the interstate if you don't go too fast its better on MPG's. But still not great. Its still a tank and weighs even more then the outgoing truck. They decided to stay with a larger motor NA engine so its not going to be as good as Fords little eco. Back seat is no bigger. Truck is longer but that's all in the nose. IMO, Nissan needed to go with a smaller displacement engine using induction or offer a hybrid option. This truck needs more low end torque. It will soon be passed up with GM/Fords 2.7 turbos as far as low end torque. Not future proofed enough IMO.

In TX the dealerships have very few trucks, the trims are picked and sent by Nissan and they're not that good at all.

@@reallyrandomrides1296 I know a few Tacoma owners, and they're actually honest. Tacomas aren't really all that note reliable than anything else. I've asked them all about it, and consensus is, owners online and on KZbin are too brand loyal to admit faults in their truck.

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

@@TheBeatenPaths Yeah, maybe. Brand loyalty can be really strong. However, in general, Toyotas have a reputation for quality, reliability and good resale value, often better than its competitors.

I traded in a 2023 Hyundai for my 2023 Frontier Pro-4X. There is NO comparison, one is a TRUCK, the other is a Tucson SUV with a bed on the back and it drives like a long Tucson. But other than what it is, I cannot say the Hyundai was not fun to drive, comfortable and cornered great. My problem was, it was NOT a truck and for an old-timer like me, a truck needs a body-on-frame, not a unibody.

Drum breaks are considered superior off-road / in trucks for a couple reasons. They have a higher static friction holding surface area and they are harder to get stuff inside of and mess up, when in mud water rock etc. Basically on a truck if you are parking with a loaded trailer on a hill, the friction surface is substantially larger for a given diameter of brake. This means the truck is much less likely to break away from the emergency brake. They are also cheaper to replace. The only real negative I know of would be heat build up, but that has been addressed numerous ways. This is why most brakes on 18 wheelers are still drum. Some have disc brakes on the front 2 wheels but almost all the others are drums. That is at least from what I have seen.

Good info, thanks!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@robertom883]

Well said, drum brakes are old technology but it works and you are right about better suited for off road driving, I take my 2016 Tacoma on the trails quite a bit at 157K on it I have replaced the front brakes once already but the drums still going, just maintenance that’s all.

[@benhaze1010]

You have some good points except about 18 wheelers; the industry has finally changed once the calipers became reliable and the added safety is quite considerable over drum brakes. They last far more longer than drum brakes. Also pretty much all semi-tractors come standard with disc brakes now. Toyota reasoning for sticking with drum brakes is not so relevant anymore except perhaps for the few doing hard core off-roading.

Two weeks ago I was excited about getting my 5th Datsun/Nissan truck, since 1976...Now I'm pissed off...had to order a Colorado yesterday...Two 2 Wheel drive...(no 4x4 ever)..for me...

[@bjornironsides6474]

Frontier can come in 4x2. In the US at least.

[@larryc506]

I just want a base 2wd. Not available?

[@haze1123]

Nissan nailed it. I'd take this over the Tacoma in a heartbeat.

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

Maybe. But... I'll wait to see if the new Nissan Frontier can beat the Toyota Tacoma for reliability and resale value.

[@haze1123]

@@reallyrandomrides1296 True. But there are a few Frontiers with a million miles on them. The old ones are famously reliable.

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

@@haze1123 Yes, I guess because the Frontier used the older technology and based more on 1990s design and tech, rather than 2000s after their quality went down, it was a good thing in this case. It was more reliable than the more modern cars and crossovers. Hopefully the new one follows in those footsteps. I see (thankfully) it does not have a CVT.

[@whiskeyearned1543]

@@reallyrandomrides1296 Nissan trucks never used a CVT, and the only trucks on the market with a better resale value than the Frontier are the Tacoma and the Tundra.

[@reallyrandomrides1296]

@@whiskeyearned1543 Yes, I guess the CVT either isn't durable enough for a truck, or just the wrong choice, especially for things like trailer towing. And true, they hold their resale value. I was looking at Titans and Frontiers in addition to Tacomas and Tundras. Ultimately settled on a Tundra.

[@robertom883]

I own a 2016 Tacoma with Manual transmission. The Tacoma V6 it’s just fine the problem is the gearing in the automatic transmission. Technology in trucks is good to a certain degree but not to justify a higher price tag or just for the sake of keeping up with the competition. Do you really need a bigger infotainment screen? I will assume that people buy pickup trucks to use and abuse. Looking at trucks these days are becoming overpriced appliances on wheels. Practicality and simplicity it’s getting to be non existent.

[@lolotus4borderless]

I am so glad someone brought that up ;) it is a competition to amenities and not to utility, I would love to see more bed equipment standards on 6 foot beds

[@NorthPaddle]

You nailed it. My truck has manual locks and windows and a manual transmission. I'm not afraid to get it dirty by any means, or throw a load of rock or dirt in the bed.

[@ruslank4028]

Do I have to manually switch between 2WD and 4WD? No center differential?

[@bjornironsides6474]

Yes
