Ever wanted to slap all the Nismo parts on your Frontier? Nissan will now do that for you in North American dealership, thanks in part to ‪@chrisforsbergracing‬, who tested the entire catalog of parts in Baja to prove their reliability.

[@BCJDM]

Very under rated truck, not only do they look great they have a bulletproof drivetrain

[@jacoblee5307]

I agree!

[@Grungebungle]

Except transmission unfortunately. I’ve seen quite a few in my shop

[@kamikazikaizer]

​@@Grungebungle22 and up model? Looking at a pro 4x but kind of effy about transmission not proven yet

[@jonathancarino]

@@kamikazikaizer Drivetrain and motor is the same since 2020. Not many issues regarding those, from the facebook pages and forums. I wouldn't listen to that guy...

[@chrisinutahpagano6774]

Tranny is fine. Any issues are electronic tuning. All the 22-23's get flashed now so the intelligent cruise control doesn't downshift to 6 million rpms. Other than that not much in bad transmissions showing up

[@UncleManuel]

"We modified this truck in 2 months, had no time for testing, drove it to Mexico, won Class 7 and then drove it home" is quite the flex. Wow! 😲

[@brandon_buildsDIY]

I am 💯 getting a new frontier Pro4x in the next 2 years or so. Waiting to them to 30-32k average market value. These trucks are so freakin good looking. I love the fact that it has a simple V6 tried and true. The transmission is very good also(same transmission in the new Z and the Aston Martin DBX i believe). You can swap the titan front suspension stuff unto it. The aftermarket is picking up for these. Overall I think this truck in the next 4-5 years is gonna be an unbelievable deal. Also congrats Chris on the new special edition, so nice to see Nissan honoring you for your loyalty and dedication to the brand.

[@jdev232]

Might not be around in 4-5 years. Definitely won't be 32k. 😂😂😂best get you an S, and buy some parts

[@RetroMotiveAdventures]

Eh 4-5 years sound about right, Nissans depreciate like a brick. And the market post covid is returning to normal depreciation rates. ​@@jdev232

[@Camaro45th]

While I will at some point be in the market for a midsize, I’m keeping the frontier on my list. Crazy to me that it is the only vehicle in the class that’s naturally aspirated.

[@t.a-8469]

Seen plenty in the 32-37k range mile dépendant of course considering one for the near future thankfully most people want a 60k Tacoma trd pro 😂

[@notoriousshizzane2696]

I bought a loaded pro4x (missing sun roof, I don't care putting on a roof rack, and leather seats, honestly I like the cloth more) with 10k miles it had a scuff or two but looks mint. $37k, If you went a 22 with a little more miles you could easy get your $30-33k mark.

[@opensourcedev22]

Chef's kiss. This may be my next truck platform when I retire my Honda

[@jacoblee5307]

About time someone covered this truck! Great platform and great content!

[@-PLAYER0NE-]

So cool, everyone sleeps on these trucks becauseit isn'ta tacoma lol. I really miss my frontier. I had a 2019 SL 4X4 i did a small lift and some tires and that thing was amazing off road. Never had a single issue with that truck it was the best I've ever owned. I would definitely do a titan swap with the front suspension if i was willing to actually beat it up.

[@frontier_etc]

The race truck has a Titan swapped front suspension, that's where the extra track width came from. Also gives more travel. It's not the same front suspension as what's on the street truck with the Nismo UCAs

[@EmileModesitt]

Yeah super weird that they didn't seem to mention that?

[@TheCarGuyOnline]

Awesome video Larry, Love the truck and his attention to details. Always love hearing him talk about the tech on vehicles, so knowledgeable. I'd buy this over the new Tacoma every day of the week, they haven't had any issues compared to the other new mid sized, no turbos to worry about, great truck.

[@vegpwrshlominator1873]

Owned mine for about 2 weeks it’s a great truck pretty good gas mileage. Very happy I bought it. Transmission is very smooth.

[@mikezadow4208]

Sweet man. Look forward to see your race off road more 🤟🏻

[@jimmyjackass1805]

I own a Gen 2 and Gen 3 Frontier. Not sure why they don't get the love the Tacoma get's. But both mine have been bullet proof super reliable Trucks. I sold my Gen 1 with 388.000 Miles on it.

[@khantra4568]

The lack of aftermarket parts compared to the Tacoma would be a major factor.

[@jimmyjackass1805]

@@khantra4568 It would have to become popular with consumers before after market parts took off, They don't sell enough of them for after market to put R/D into parts for them. Sure you can get a bumper and rims But the Tacoma almost has a Jeep Wrangler following. That's why they make so many diff brands of A/M parts. Because they sell a lot of trucks and Wranglers. Not the other way around.

[@khantra4568]

@@jimmyjackass1805 it’s a vicious cycle. Also didn’t help Nissan didn’t take the initiative to update the Frontier and continue Xterra production when it was just them and Toyota in the mid size market. Reason why I chose a Tacoma in 2019 over a Frontier was how old the platform was the money.

[@jimmyjackass1805]

@@khantra4568 100% The Frontier stayed basically the same from 2005 to 2020 The it took 2 more years for the body re design. Other than the better interior and lighting and safety options, The Wife's 22 really is not that much diff than my 13. Witch was hers new in late 2012. Now my work truck. If Nissan continued to upgrade the Frontier ever 3 or 4 years you're probably right it would have a BIGGER FOLLOWING. If they come out with a new X There will be one in the driveway for the Wife. She's holding out for it.

[@khantra4568]

@@jimmyjackass1805 Wish Nissan kept a manual option for the new Frontier it would make them stand out in the current competition. That being said if my 19 Taco ever got totaled, the Frontier would be my next truck. Glad they held out and kept a proper v6 instead of another turbo 4 banger.

[@onefastcyclist]

A fine video on a GREAT truck! And a modest lift is often all one needs on modest trails! I own a 2019 PRO4 X with an Old Man Emu lift - Actual: 1-3/4" front and 2-3/4" rear - it sets level when towing or loaded with overland gear.

[@lucianmoon7755]

Forsberg is a genius!

[@carbud9823]

Great looking truck!!!

[@joedesalvo3316]

I want that Wheel and Tire setup for my 2023 Rock Creek Pathfinder

[@nigelhenry5741]

Thumbs up for this forberg edition. This may be my next purchase really soon. I am hoping Nissan continues with these components and apply them to other Frintier special editons... is a Frontier Warrior package in the works? Thinking Ranger Raptor stuff????

[@DirtBikeSessions]

Very nice 😎

[@Genghis_Khaan_]

I bought a 2024 pro4x 3 days ago!

[@youtubecarspottersguide1]

nice wish the king cab and 6'box was available in pro 4x allso for a race truck no back seat and smaller cab save wt.

[@TommyFerlatte]

Hi ;) I have the same Nismo roof rack on my Frontier. I'm looking to add side lights to the rack, what model you have ? :)

[@raymanvonmetal1436]

If the Forsberg package is purchased & installed, does dealership give customer the oem parts?

[@offtherocksfishing_officia974]

60 mph on that road is insane

[@TheRealGhostK22]

I want one of these so bad, but imagine most will be spoken for probably already lol

[@dylanhammerstein3059]

When does it arrive in Australia? 😂😂😂🤯😞😔😔🥺

[@augustusandrada3930]

Is The the frontier has a crawl control?

[@abrahamlopez4864]

Wasnt the forsberg truck vk56 swapped?

[@rick9705]

How is it stock with such a wider stance? Did I miss that part? About to buy a Pro 4X next week, interested in this look for sure.

[@benchandler5184]

It has Titan front suspension on the race truck. Not sure how much work goes in to making it all fit but it isn’t totally uncommon for people to do

[@theguy9234]

Show this vid to truck king. That Canadian offroad reviewer, who seems to always hate on nissan

[@jhardwood6960]

So i want a Forsberg edition but i have a 2022 2wd frontier, can i still get it?? For the cosmetics and suspension??

[@Kevin93til]

Different truck, you could probably find some similar exterior bits, but you have the generation before this.

[@KrazyKajun602]

It would be alligator sliders here in Louisiana.

[@Calvinizur]

7:16 wheres the bump stop?

[@bscabl]

I have a question. With the stock drivetrain, the initial scene had the production Frontier doing over 60mph while going pretty nuts in the sand. How do these handle when considering the manual calls for lower speeds in 4H? Are you running these in 2H or are the manuals overly cautious?

[@johnnyreb1475]

Are you sure, I have a second gen and all it said was only switch into 4hi 60mph or lower?

[@bscabl]

@@johnnyreb1475 that was a 3rd gen in the video and the owners manual says max speed 62mph. In fairness they did not show the speedometer above low 60's but one would argue the race truck was probably going higher even if the stock one was not...and the race truck has a stock transmission.

[@bscabl]

also.. who would want to ride long distances at the "max" unless the max is simply a guideline to keep warranties happy.

[@johnnyreb1475]

@@bscabl I know what it is I just find it hard to believe that big of a difference on the same vehicle. One gen says don't shift into 4wd above 60 and the next says don't ever go 60 in 4wd. Whatever doesn't matter to me.

[@bscabl]

@@johnnyreb1475 which is why i asked the question to the people who did the riving and have the experience. I want to gauge how much this would actually harm the truck lol

[@macbook802]

Doesn't have the nismo upper arms?

[@pololoy23]

Not sure about that rock slider. flexing (bouncing) around 2:18 to 2:23 mark of the video.

[@theguy9234]

Im planning on getting next year. Great truck. But... 10k$ extra for his special name and nismo parts without a front locker is to much $.

[@jaylancole7406]

It’s actually here🥲

[@ttinnovations3310]

I would buy this over the new 2024 Toyota Tacoma if you plan to keep it +10 years and just want something simple and hardcore off road , you know the new turbo 4 cylinder hybrid trucks now will need $15k in rebuild ( turbo and new battery)

[@1FiftyOverland]

So the "roll cage" portion connected to the front suspension 100% makes it not the same as the stock vehicle. 🙄

[@TheTankss]

Is he the new Ken ?

[@saltymethods2637]

The caged truck looks tight and everything looks rigged together.

[@crazyforeigner]

Ayo

[@Pennychaser1]

I will take nissan trucks over new turbo toyota trucks anyday and I'm a long time toyota guy

[@notoriousshizzane2696]

I found a manual 2019 TRD pro with around 70k miles on it. It has a lift and a snorkel on it, which was super tempting as I'm trying to make an overlander. But then I started giving a closer eye to the Nissans. For the same money as that toyota I got a 2023 pro4x with 10k miles... I live in Ohio and we use salt. Those 3+ years make a difference. Especially if I'm taking care to undercoat and maintain it properly.

[@crazyone1067]

Nissan really needs to take the Titan budget and invest in the Frontier and small truck market.

[@mikeypv6]

Is that the same roof rack Adam LZ put on top of his Safari R32?

[@bro.z34]

i was wondering the same lmao

[@DropdeadTin]

yes they're the same nismo roof rack for D41 frontiers

[@robertaspinall3035]

Ok, but where is the NISMO new generation bumper you promised us TWO YEARS ago?

[@1FiftyOverland]

Just like every "overlander" with case on the roof rack with nothing in them.

[@Tiffer_77]

Mismo parts? Give the vr38 turbos 😂😂😂

[@kjam87gxp]

Save the frontier

[@andresgaray5085]

Damn Andrew Santino could drive

They should have titan swapped the race truck

[@user-tw4my6go5f]

Race truck but did zero performance upgrades.

[@geometrydashclips4818]

Good bye tacoma...😂

[@jmar3011]

What a wasted opportunity. Forsberg edition should have come with the Titan swap suspension like the race truck.

[@kevodean]

lol the production model is far dirtier under the hood than the one that raced the norra 500

[@danielmurray5326]

Wow the interior is so out dated.

Am I the only one who cannot stand Chris Forsberg???

Bro why you hating? Mans put in a life time to work of dedication and commitment to a brand. Let the man live dawg come on now. If you don’t like him why click on the video?

[@On3_media]

The short answer is yes. You’re the only one. Be better. Why hate on a man for accomplishing something massive?

[@XloMotion]

Yes You're jealous of his success so you hate him for that.

[@makesirichards4328]

I feel you are the only one buddy cause I'm a believer in live and let live my guy but haters gonna hate

[@lavachemist]

Yes

[@saltymethods2637]

Nobody drives Nissan off road. Nissan stopped participating in off road racing a long time ago.
