I Take The New Nissan Frontier On an Epic Overland Adventure! 130 Miles on The Mojave Trail

[@MoparG_73]

That was a great video! Looked like alot of fun. Thanks Tommy!!

[@ruvalca10plazola5]

Jajaja😂

[@Williams-mp7vz]

Slow af

[@ryanmartinage]

Frontiers are criminally underrated. Larger version of a Dana 44 rear axle, fully boxed frame, full depth frame channels, last NA v6 in a midsize, stayed small, and are reasonably priced. Fantastic trucks and they deserve more spotlight versus people pretending the Tacoma is God's gift to man.

[@JM-nz8gw]

I had one as a rental and now I'm seriously considering a Pro-4X. Excellent and underrated truck!

[@ss4jarmon]

Frontiers are great. Bought one brand new in August of 1999. Nissan frontier desert runner edition 3.3L v6 . Drove it without an issue for 23 years. ( regular maintenance). Awesome.

[@PoppaSnipe]

22/23 Nissan Frontier Pro-4x is the best bang for the buck in midsize trucks. Its 4wd capability is severely underrated by most enthusiast. Ive been loving my 22 (I got an 3” Dobinsons suspension lift) Pro-4x and haven’t needed to use the rear end locker yet off-roading, 4 low has gotten me out of everything so far.

[@zandergourley6089]

Was giving a Pro4X as a rental in Fresno and I really loved it! Also has the Tacoma TRD as a rental and the frontier was way more comfortable and just felt better! I usually drive a Audi so both were a nice change.

[@sarrum7696]

That was cool I really like the Frontier, it's my favorite of the smaller pickups.

[@andrewb325]

You guys definitely have me thinking about the Frontier as an option.

[@johnstrickland-de2to]

Bought a 2023 Pro-4X 3 months ago and love it.

[@NinoTamburrino]

Would love for you guys to get a Frontier long term tester. It would be awesome if you guys kept it stock for a period of time then mod it out an build it.

[@michaeltoro-mendez1664]

Thank you Jesus! I’ve been looking for a video like this for the Frontier because I wanna see how it performs in this scenario. Found some stuff here and there but this is exactly what I was looking for!

[@johna5563]

That was one heck of a cool road trip! And the Frontier looks cool while doing it! Go TFL making history with this generation’s Nissan!

[@310Sole]

Wow this episode was like an adventure of an Wild West movie but with trucks. Wait that's exactly what it is. Nicely done TFL.

[@stout_tossme7541]

Great video. I think the Frontier is a fabulous rig. The Gazell tent is an amazing tent. I have had one for three years and love it. Thanks, Tommy. Good job my friend.

[@awdanthony]

As a 6’1” previous Frontier owner who works at a tire store, my opinion is the Frontier is a far more comfortable vehicle to drive.

[@Silverback_GMT410]

That’s the trail I pushed my Maverick FX4 on. The way up to Fort Piute was the worst section. Being on the highway ready Scorpions and the low chin made it difficult. Thank Ford for the skid plates. Ended up blowing one of the tires near the end.

[@dustinizard2524]

Awesome 1983 was a good year ! The year I was hatched 🐣! Love you guys the new frontier seems damn good and true to their reliability!

[@MrAKhiker]

Great video as always, Tommy. But, a couple of things: $40K+ for a mid size truck without an adjustable steering wheel? And - for all you other manufactures out there - for the love of God, give us a top end off road truck without a crew cab, but with a 6' bed. Please!!!

[@paulm6481]

No one wants two door trucks dude.

[@85mackey1]

@@paulm6481 speak for yourself. I’ve never owned or wanted a four door truck. There are things called suvs and sedans for that.

[@chadsteele1]

@@85mackey1 I speak for all people. It will never happen. You want it you got go build it.

You also don’t get Power mirrors in the S model…mine doesn’t at least. That’s all I wish it had.

[@brad4527]

​@85mackey1 I'm there 💯% trucks aren't SUVS let's get back to making truck with the standard 6ft bed and put sunroof back in and everything that belongs Nissan!!

[@ronsmith9251]

I’d like to see Nissan build another Pathfinder based on this new Frontier.

[@yissibiiyte]

Frontier is underrated tbh. Just as good as, if not a better all-rounder than a Taco

[@preacherman85379]

I ended up with a taco because I couldn’t find a Pro4x anywhere. That was in 2018. Ive always preferred Nissan, but the taco is still with me and going strong.

[@jakmac13]

Idk about “underrated” considering every car youtuber says it’s a great midsize truck. I do think the frontier will be in trouble once the new Tacoma comes out next month.

[@yissibiiyte]

@@jakmac13 I say "underrated" in terms of sales. Taco sells 3× better for absolutely no reason

[@sapperROSS]

​@Yissi Biiyte I have a 16 frontier and had a 2022 taco offroad for a rental, id much rather have the frontier, I dont get the taco hype

[@AHungryHunky]

I just think at this point vehicles are so overbuilt that there really are no wrong choices anymore. Not just trucks, but literally most vehicles with their intended purpose kept in mind. This hit me a while ago when I was reading people complaining that 250hp and a 0-60 in the 7-8 second range wasn't enough, for a family crossover. You know, a frumpy people mover designed to get you from A-B at the speed limit. 250 was not enough somehow to do that. That was a huge reality slap for me, that people will never be happy unless this years specs have higher numbers than last years, even if last years was already more than they needed.

[@dajuggernaut2099]

Would LOVE a NISMO version!!

[@medic7556]

Hello TFL. Have you all thought about creating a say "TFL Trail" channel to solely do offroad trail and on pavement scenic drive type reviews. I would love to get your perspective on different trails and drives. I know you mix in, like this video, trail reviews with vehicle reviews, but maybe have a dedicated channel for trails you all go on. Just a suggestion, thanks for all the great content.

[@rowerwet]

Or just a Playlist

[@Linknelson]

The FRONTIER is an awesome truck

[@GarageWorx]

They are good looking truck. I was looking closely at them a few months ago.

[@mlow42]

It's a real shame, that the bed is so tiny. Now you have to buy 4 doors too? Yuck

[@HenryCalderonJr]

Loved the Nissan frontier and also the historic run of the forts and old roads! Thank you! Sometime to do this summer or early fall

[@karryhoward3946]

Nice work Tommy, I'm doing the Mojave trail in early April on my dual sport, great content as usual.

[@Ornelas11B]

I was at Ft Irwin in the Mohave desert December 2011 for 4 weeks of training for my Afghanistan deployment. Had a nasty sandstorm come through one night as we were loading up to convoy to another base for the night as part of training. I was the driver of the second HMMWV behind the trainer. The sandstorm was so bad he had no idea where he was going. I had my goggles on. Couldn’t see a thing. We were off roading all over the desert because he couldn’t ever find the road. Our tents were blown over and our duffel bags were blown all over the desert the next day. If you go out in the Mohave make sure you’re well prepared.

[@HatArmor]

Frontier is an awesome truck!

[@AdventureRocks]

What an amazing experience! Fun trip.

[@1antisupercat]

My friend just got a new pro 4x he really likes it. His previous one, a 16 I believe was totaled when it was rear ended.

[@clintperry799]

I love my 2024 pro4x , it's rock solid , my only complaint is turning radius ! But what a great truck ! It's so good . I'm to old to lift it , but it's awesome !

[@Joe-eg7ml]

They should of offered the Hardbody version(they introduce months ago) in this road trip.

[@LikeMike337]

Didn’t need a pro-4x to get through most of that. A pro-x would have been more appropriate

[@pacificnorthwestfrontier]

Love mine

[@f5fstop]

Nothing dramatic, but looks like fun and the Frontier should be quite capable of doing A-OK.

[@concentricvoid]

I'm a local in Eastern area of where you were driving. I camp all over the BLM, Mohave Preserve and the National Trails monument. That must have sucked, camping at Goffs with all the trains rolling by. They should have brought some port-o-lets and let you sleep further away, up Lanfair road, away from the train noise.

[@jyharris]

Very cool video Tommy! Really enjoyed it! Looked like a lot of fun. Now, I have a new Bucket List item. 😂

[@Humandriver5280]

A bit of lift would be good.

[@MrBillsfishin]

Looked like a decent trip. Saw a couple roads at the end living in Palmdale that looked fairly close. Lol

[@Skraals]

I wish it had front lockers, the price and everything else is just fine and good up here in Canada, but for the type of overlanding I would need it to go through I need both front and rear locker 😑. I can change the suspension to longer travel and and a 2 inch lift on my own expense with the money I'd be saving compared to buying a ZR2 colorado or an AT4X canyon which are really over priced up here.

[@oogleboogle123456789]

cant you add manual locking front hubs?

[@Skraals]

@oogleboogle123456789 adding front hubs aren't lockers, hubs don't really made the wheels lock their spin and roll at the same speed regardless of traction, tho if they did add an e-locker or a semi-locker for the front of the wheels it definitely be good enough.

[@Skraals]

@@shitloveaduck 😀 have a good one 👍

[@SasukeUchiha-zu6dw]

ARB air locker?

[@SethPinnock]

What a waste, when will vehicles become affordable by any standard. Withh waste like these, it may never be possible.or maybe I just can't understand 'first world' ways

[@Queensizemusic]

Tommy, I’m a music journalist, so I’m curious to know what you’re listening to that’s driving everyone into other vehicles?? You and I might be on the same page. Of the Colorado bands, I do lo Devotcka!! Hit me up with your list.

[@Blue-moon12]

Blows my mind they destroy press vehicles. What a waste.

[@ohwespicy7270]

The money you save from the upcoming TRD/Zr2s is more than enough to deck out the pro4x with a lift and a winch

[@Ichibuns]

I lost interest in GM. You can't get a selectable locker without spending for the ZR2 or AT4X. The rest use their horrible automatic diffs.

[@RayFongFong]

Would a ProX be able to do this trail?

[@cartopia6161]

The Pro-4x just needs a little more ground clearance from the factory.

[@PoppaSnipe]

For $500 you can buy the Alldogs Offroad RCKilla Coil Spring & AAL Lift Kit 2” front coil spring, 1.5” add a leaf. For $1100 you can get the kit with Bilstein 5100 struts front and 5125 shock rears

[@clintperry799]

I agree a little lift , but I have to stick my cranky 85 year old mother in. So no lift for me 😒

[@cowelk]

Another great video. We drove the Mohave trail a couple of years ago but somehow missed Goffs. Bummer. But there is always a next time. By the way, how was the headroom and leg room in the Frontier? Will a 6'5" guy be able to drive it comfortably?

[@elonsus9747]

I’m around 6” and 180 pounds and I find it kind of cramped. I have a hard time getting a good seat position when I’m driving. My right knee tends to rest or hit the dash and the grab handles on the center console. I find the gas pedal to be too upright, for my liking. My knee tends to hurt after a little. The seats are actually smaller width wise, and the arm rest is wider in return. So I often find myself sitting on the bottom boster padding left or right occasionally. Back seats are another story. Overall I like it. I can live with it. I had a 13’ Tacoma and I found it more comfortable but that’s just my opinion.

[@peterpowers4851]

We live in such a wasteful society. They are going to crush almost brand new perfectly good trucks when people drive cars that are litterally falling apart and those same people do everything they can to try to keep them on the road. I have a 2005 chevy colorado work truck with almost 200k miles on it that has zero mechanical issues, no leaks, no lights on the dash as I fix every issue that comes up. The one thing I cannot fix, just simply slow down is the rust that will ultimately kill the truck. What I would give to have one of those new Frontiers that are going to or already have been crushed.

[@johnyota131]

Awesome video! Crazy that those trucks just get demolished! Does this happen with all press vehicles?

@@dannyg5636 No manual Transmission option makes it worse than the old one by default IMHO, I also like the less aggressive looks of the old one as well. I wonder if they improved the turning radius of the new one any, that seems to be the only complaint I've heard about with the old one.
