2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-4X Review and Off-Road Test

[@mduke162]

I like the review (and turning radius is definitely the worst thing). But, as a 2022 frontier owner, I'm frustrated that off-road youtube reviewers don't understand the running boards. They're actually dual purpose rock rails with removable steps attached. If you're going to off-road this thing, take the steps off and the rock rail will help protect the truck without the loss of clearance.

[@thedarkestrainbow]

Are they proper rock rails that can support the weight of the vehicle?

[@jamesbuff3619]

Can you really take the steps off? I might have to buy the Nissan ones for my Pro-4X

I love the infotainment display, it's not overbearing, isn't required for most functions, and allows for still a majority of tactile buttons to be used over the touch screen. Very practical and a lot safer than some of the infotainment displays that displace safer buttons while driving. Have to give Nissan props for that.

[@kentadamson6992]

I love mine, bought it last September. The 4wheel drive system does well in bad weather. I have to be honest, most of the issues that people seem to have with this truck don't apply to me. I'm not concerned about backup cameras or the most up-to-date technology. It's a pickup truck not a luxury vehicle luxury vehicle. If you want the finest luxuries get a sports car.

Nissan was almost a lost cause to me ditching all their offroad vehicles for cross overs sharing the names, and the full size thing is not for me at all, having yhe frontier go a decade with no refresh was starting to concern me as far as where nissan was going in the offroad world, this was a big step the right direction, now bring back the xterra!

I have the 2023 Baja Storm 4X and I love it! I had a 2002 Silverado 4x4 for 20 years and it was in my opinion irreplaceable. I was wrong, my son has that truck now and I have this. My only complaint is that there is NO telescoping steering wheel (I am 6'4"). But hey small price to pay for a non turbo charged modern V6. I despise turbos as I see them come through my shop constantly for overheats, block issues etc... Glad I was able to snatch this little beauty up. I'm almost 50 now so this will be the last truck I buy. It will become an heirloom IMO.

Really? because I have had my Ranger blasting in the mountains of Wyoming with zero issues. Personally I would never ever go back to a NA engine.

I now have a 2021 Frontier. Had a 2010 frontier for 10 years. They are known for a poor turning radius. TFL did a test and a 4WD F-150 had a significantly tighter turning radius, and it tied a 4WD RAM 2500. Still love my truck. I had my 2010 off road numerous times and it ALWAYS took me wherever I wanted to go. I was tail end charlie on a group of 4x4 trucks. I kept having to stop at the bottom of an uphill to allow the guys in front of me to make it up the muddy roads, as even with all the latest tech ( I had the oldest vehicle in the 2010 ), they were spinning wheels and slinging mud everywhere. I was worried someone would get stuck in front of me. Once they got out of the way (barely in some cases), I'd kick it into 4 low, get it moving, and let it tootle on up the hill w/o all the wheel spinning. And I didn't even have the rear end locked. Surprised a guy that took that "road" regularly. I wouldn't get the running boards either. Those are for mall crawlers, not off road. I'd go with after market REAL rock sliders instead. Even with the steps off, they still reduce the clearance where honest to God rock sliders leave it almost the same. One of my son's has a lifted 2019 4WD F-150. We went elk hunting here in Colorado, and he was shocked at how sure footed that little truck was. I went places w/o question that he admitted he'd have had second thoughts about taking his truck. Never had to engage the locker. My oldest son was so impressed by my old Frontier that he bought a 2022 when they came out.

[@slumy8195]

having a huge truck in the backroads is a hit and miss due to the space you need to get thru some areas with heavy bushes or groups of small trees and giant dirt pot holes and the worst: a 3ft mound with rocks that can take out your transmission. A smaller trucks light weight makes those problems more bearable, where in a larger truck youd get stuck in the mountains due to weight issues.

Thanks for another great review. Just took the Frontier for a test drive and wow I was very impressed. I think a Frontier will be in my driveway soon.

Great review! I own the truck and love it. I average 19 mpg, and really I drive 80-90 on the hwy so I’m sure it would be better if I slow down. It is annoying that only the drivers window is automatic, and the cameras are terrible as you mentioned. Just a pro tip? The steps on the step-ups are removable, making them more like rock rails and giving you the ground clearance back!

I have 2018 Pro-4X. Yes it is designed for adventure off road but it also has to navigate the traffics of Los Angeles in this high-fuel cost post-Covid era. It is a truck that does everything well. My truck does about 17 MPG (with all the work-related equipment on board) which is rather low compared to the other trucks - but has good power and most of all, very good AC. My work colleague has 2017 Tacoma TRD Sport which we use for work - in comparison, Tacoma gets a bit better gas mileage, and has much better infotainment screes (older model has very old info system) but in every other aspects, Pro-4X is better in terms of power, comfort, and drivability. This new model is an excellent choice.

Also the titan is a fail because the market is very competitive and the titan is ungly as hell by a lot. So why buy it? Also who cares about the ridgeline?

[@laborcreatescapital9483]

Great video, especially, the off-reading portion. I found the use of the 4L, locker, etc buttons more understandable in this vehicle than just about any of the others I’ve viewed w/all the optional driving modes. Maybe its me, maybe its hard to translate in video (despite yours & others best attempts), maybe this old school just works well, maybe even better than the tech….Nissan needs to improve the turn radius though. It’s so important on the trails to have a tight radius. Heck, in the urban jungles I navigate, the super tight radius of my 6th gen OB is phenomenal & required!

[@drn13355]

I disagree the older stuff works better. Many people fear change and simply do not understand. I live in Wyoming and I had a 12 Tacoma TRD off Road. I switched to a Ranger and the primary reason was the turbo. At elevation it does not lose power like a NA engine. Also the ten speed and torque is just awesome . I have no problem with Nissan or Toyota, but I will say there isn't a chance in hell I would ever go back to NA engine. I am legit getting 24 miles a gallon and the powertrain is just perfect. If I am paying 50K for a vehicle I don't want to buy a 1997 Nissan hardbody tech.

They are fairly simple to remove using an Allen wrench… so I’m told…haven’t done it yet. So if you like the look of them or someone shorter could use them, it shouldn’t be a problem taking them off when needed for off road adventures. I also added 33” wheels which gives some additional clearance.

First: great review as always, but I wish you would spend more time on how the back seats configure for a load. Those of us who want to put dogs or ice chests back there want to know. Also when giving EPA mileage could you also quickly add some competition ratings? "Frontier 4Pro-X gets XXX and the Toyota TRD Pro gets XXX. That context would be helpful. Second: Nissans have always been "old school." Which I like. But sometimes stuff gets left out that would be helpful. (Fully adjustable steering wheel for example). The idea is to go for value, but then add on a bunch of fluff for the dealer to mark up. Burt, you get it if want it. (BTW the side steps are removable, leaving just the rails.) In this case Nissan mostly succeeds. It looks great, but I wish you could get the the Pro4-X with a 6' bed and a smaller back storage area (no "crew cab")

@@johnnyreb9398 US buyers are obsessed with crew cab trucks. Nissan is simply offering what the vast majority of buyers want. If they offered the king cab pro4x, they'd probably only sell a few hundred a year, so it's just not worth it for them. Also, the Canadian market doesn't get 4x2 models, so Nissan is streamlining their offerings in all markets to cut cost. Nissan is still struggling financially and can't afford to do the things other more profitable brands can do. That's why the Frontier only got a heavy refresh instead of a full redesign.

And cresting a hill or even just going up a steep hill, you are blind. Not unlike old school wheeling days. But w/out a spotter, it is no fun. Steps: Worst thing in the world to put on a 4x4 truck of any make unless all it is going to do is drive on the paved roads. Proper sliders however, best 1st upgrade one should do if you plan on OR wheeling. I was impressed with the capabilities of this truck. Even w/out the rear locker, it managed to do something old school open diffs. would have struggled on. I had an 86.5 Nissan Hardbody SEV6 4x4 and as incredible as it was OR, there were times I desperately needed a rear locker. Off camber and I was SOL. Like you said, having a rear locker would have made that truck nearly unstoppable for the times. Which leads me to the final agreement/observation about turning radius, I tried out a 1987 extended cab of the same make and it was awful!

I owned a 2018 Frontier SV 4x4. Really liked it but the engine had no comfort zone in the slow RPM range.

[@michtur6347]

Great review as always. Would it be possible to upgrade cameras after market?

[@FantomLightning]

Honestly I love this, but there are two really simple things that drive me insane. It really should have a telescopic column, its a simple cheap thing that can have a big impact on comfort as well as safety. The other is the lack of a 4WD system with an auto/full time setting, very nice to have driving through a storm where road conditions are changing without having to move in and out of 2High-4High. That said if I was looking to buy in this segment at the moment this would be my choice.

[@K03sport]

Agree. None of those two things are expensive or new tech. Every vehicle in their showroom has a wheel that telescopes; why isn't it in the truck (why Nissan fails at more than just using rehashed chassis in "new" vehicles)?

[@IzaguirreC]

Another thing to add is no adjustable power lumbar support. Even the Tacoma has it on SR5s and up.

[@chiefman8316]

Good review on the Frontier Thanks, Why are the different manufacturers placing so much emphasis on off-roading?? How many fools would pay 45k to jump ditches and climb rocks??

Great review!

[@karnvir20]

My company is getting me one of these, don’t know how I feel about it. We had Tacomas and F150s before but because of the shortage they can’t get their hands on them, so they decided to go with these.

[@Bcrew9]

Would love to see a 2023 Frontier review. I know they are pretty similar, but it would still be cool to see the latest model!

[@twinbee4243]

As a Nissan Frontier owner buying a $48,000 Brand new Frontier is not worth it neither buying Tacoma or Ranger or Colorado or Ridgeline on the same price range. It's absolute nonsense! When I got my 2018 Nissan Frontier Pro4X Kingcab 4L V6 6 Speed Manual Transmission I only got it for $29,600 with taxes and everything all brand New zero Miles it's a steal! Nowadays midsize trucks cost 48 to 50 grand it's so crazy. Not worth it! Take my advice and recommendation folks. For 48 grand you folks might as well buy a fullsize pickup truck either a basic or mid level trim Toyota tundra, or Nissan Titan, Chevy Silverado 1500, Ford F-150 or GMC Sierra 1500 or 2500 with a big V8 engine. OR! Get a Ford Maverick it cost much less $18,000 or Toyota Tacoma 2.7L 4cylinder or GMC canyon with 4 cylinder engine. Otherwise you folks gotta think 🤔 1000 times before buying a pickup truck, think and consider "What the hell do I need a pickup truck for?" Do I really need it?? What do I do for a living?? Or Do I just wanted it for fun and to show the people how badass I am but don't really needed it?? Hey folks owning a pickup truck is a very serious thing just like owning an Electric vehicle this is not just like a walk in the park y'all.

[@Postmangames]

I think the Pro 4X is more inline with an TRD Off Road Tacoma then the full blown TRD Pro. That being said, I test drove one of these and was VERY impressed

[@mikeajifu4950]

On these offroad tests, have you ever had concerns about those low hanging rear shock mount points placed right in the center. Just waiting for a rock to smack that off. At least Toyota places them near the wheel.

[@eppyz]

At least the Nissan has rear disc brakes 🙄

[@eppyz]

@@eyedentity66 my sister races in rallies with her JK Jeep... Since 2007 how often has my Sister ever used her front locker??? Not once. 99.9% of people will never need it and the money saved over a TRD Pro you could install an air locker in the front and still put $10k in the bank 😎

[@beexiong2995]

@@eppyz you do know the pro4x competes with the trd off road not trd pro and its the same price as this

[@eppyz]

@@beexiong2995 yes and I'm aware. In 2019 my wife bought her fully loaded Pro4X for over $10k LESS than a TRD off road. The reason why i brought up the TRD PRO is the Nissan Pro 4X actually sits in between these 2 from Toyota. Some options the Nissan has as standard only comes on the TRD Pro like 4 wheel disc brakes for 1 example. Anyway yeah in 2019 we bought a new crew cab Pro4X with Premium Pack for $31,400 the Toyota Off Road was $45k so yeah not the same price AT ALL.

[@beexiong2995]

@@eppyz the 2019 was cheaper because it was essentially the same truck from 2005. The tacoma had a redesign in 2016 with crawl control and multiterrain modes. Something the frontier still does not have. All trucks in the segment and even full size trucks and crossovers have. Consider this the pro4x costs the same as the trd offroad but offers less. At that price the trd offroad is the better value. I bought my top off the line trd offroad for 46k. The TRD pro does not have 4 wheel disc brakes. The only upgrade is the fox shocks, springs and now control arms. The TRD pro offroad modes are identical to the TRD offroad.

[@Doc1855]

Great review. I don’t know how people can afford to drop $50K on any vehicle. I bought my first house in 96 and that 3bdrm 2bath house on 1/3 of an acre for $55K, so spending $50K for a vehicle is have simply priced themselves out of my market.

Average buyer for midsize truck is in their late 40s/early 50s. Most good jobs if you’re 20-30 years in should be able to easily afford a 50k vehicle. Add a spouse income and that makes it even easier. But just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

@@gs98999 I’m in my late 50s and make well over a 6 figure income. $50K is still too much for any vehicle

[@K03sport]

@@gs98999...lots of factors there...however, the Frontier is NOT all new and uses a lot of previous gen parts and omits simple stuff that Honda Fits have. It needs to be 10-15% than it is; nothing industry breaking in this truck. You buy this because you are a Nissan fan or if you work at one of their assembly plants (so you don't show up in a competing brand). Dealer markups are not going to help the cause. The pro 4x is a $37k-40k max truck and should not be any where close to $50k.

[@legambaz]

Awesome styling

[@slocavky]

Really like the look of these things. Nissan did a heck of a job. Just wish they'd offer a Manual Transmission. If it was offered in a manual when I got my Tacoma, It would have been a super hard decision...

[@K03sport]

Ryan, glad you found the rear cup holders, because the non-telescoping was enough for me to skip the truck...I guess someone needs to tell Nissan that it is the small, simple stuff makes the difference btwn good/ok, and great.

Turning that into a true Pathfinder SUV. It would sell

[@daddy752022]

VW also has Fender audio, it's in my wife's Atlas. I just got the Frontier with the Fender, and I think it is alot better than basic. Audio is a really subjective thing though.

When will Pickup trucks finally implement a FULLTIME auto 4wheel drive like many SUVs have?? My Grand Cherokee has it and it also has 4low if I need that (never have). Driving a rear wheel drive pickup with a part time 4wheel drive transfer case and partially covered snow is a MAJOR annoyance!

"That was old school, and I'm not into that." LOL!!! I don't blame you, Ryan.. Not a lot of things seem too advanced in this vehicle. While I enjoy your videos/reviews, Ryan.. I don't like this revision of the Frontier. Yes, I love the exterior and color, but the LOVE stops there..

[@jeanclaude7018]

If Jeep or Toyota do old school, it's "proven reliable." If Nissan does old school, it's "outdated". Why is that? My old school 1987 Hardbody has an engine block dating back to the late 60s, based on a Mercedes design inherited by Nissan when they bought Prince Motors. Still working away in 2024.

For all those, if you can live without these limited storage spaces, no telescopic steering wheel,no bed storage, dark interior lighting when at night time, no sides turn signal or auto fold, no auto correct or centering, remote start, no power rear sliding windows., drive mode. Then it for you. :)

Four low needed for that road? I've done a lot worse in just 4HI or even 2WD. Wheel braking works on all four wheels if in 4H/4L In two-wheel drive wheel braking only works on rear brakes. If locker engaged, no wheel braking. Per Manual. Those step bars do remove two-inches. You really need to head down to Moab and do at least Hell's Revenge.

[@dlg5485]

Having owned 2 previous gen Frontiers and loved them both, I mostly like this refresh. I call it a refresh because, let's face it, this absolutely is not a full redesign. The absurdly massive turning radius (and a few other issues) definitely should have been addressed for this redesign, but Nissan left most of the chassis underpinnings unchanged. I'm not too mad about that because, again, I loved the previous Frontier. However, the steering rack should have been updated.
