Here's my view as a Frontier owner... EVERYONE ALWAYS complains about how expensive trucks are, that they've lost their utilitarianism, that they're cowboy cadillacs, etc.. The Nissan IS affordable (especially on the used market), can be fully cleaned inside with a towel and spray cleaner, has competitive towing and payload, gets decent mpg with the 9 speed, and IS STILL EASY TO WORK ON / FIX. My 2020 has the 9 speed and new engine but old body style. No start stop, no modes, no crap you dont need. Its been rock solid and simple to maintain. Nissan kept what was GOOD about a TRUCK. People want these things then fawn over all this 4 cylinder turbocharged crap that will all break in the future. This is a half ton platform midsize truck with a beefy rear end, 1/2 ton trans, and big boi frame channels. This thing is meant to do the job at an affordable price and all I see are people complaining. This is the truck most people ask for yet people bitch its not fancy. In the words of Vice Grip Garage, HELP ME UNDERSTAND.

You pretty much summed up the average truck buyer, a bunch of idiots that don't need a truck and don't use their truck for truck things. Instead, they want big screens and heated steering wheels which makes actual truck users have to pay 40 GRAND for a mid size.

Exactly! Like you, I have the old body with the new engine/transmission (2021 4X4 SV crew cab). I have a 2 1/2" lift with upgraded suspension and 32" tires. For me, it's the perfect blend of on road/off road ability. I love the way it looks and I really love how simple it is and devoid of many expensive (and costly) features. It's not the latest and greatest, but I don't need (or wish to pay for) the newest thing. Don't get me wrong, I really like many of the new vehicles with all the fancy features. However, for many people (myself included), I enjoy the peace of mind that comes with knowing that I don't have tons of potential little "features" to fail and have to fix. As with most things in life, everything is a trade off, and for me, my little Frontier makes a lot of sense. And one more thing...YES, tires are super important as has already been pointed out!

You guys might be making a good point. But, the slipping wheel braking/traction control(faux locker/limited slip) seemed non existent. And, after all, those are the AT tires that came on the truck. Tires that are better in mud would have helped a lot, but once a front tire starts spinning uselessly or is in the air, tires become irrelevant. You will get no help out of that axle unless you brake the spinning tire or lock the axle(or at least limit the slip). But, I will admit this: if they had some true mud tires on this truck, it might have cleared the tread and gripped enough to push them far enough for the lifted rt or lt tire to come back down to earth and find some grip. But what brand new truck comes with real mud tires? And that broken shock is not inspiring either. It would have been interesting to have a Chevy Trail Boss along on the same day, as well as a few other competitors.

A problem I have with this video (and I'm not a frontier owner) is that they declared the frontier "all washed up" without also testing comparably priced trucks under the same conditions. I viewed a number of their past videos that tested other midsized trucks under difficult but not exactly the same conditions and while they were more capable they also cost 10k more. It would be interesting to see the pro4x compared to the colorado trailboss, tacoma offroad, ranger xlt, canyon at4 under the same conditions on the same day. That would be interesting.

"If you really wanted to test the ABLS you have to put it in 4lo unlocked.". So, ABLS won't work on the front axle if the rear is locked? Why would they do that? Wouldn't 4 wheel ABLS be hugely useful in both 4 Hi and 4 lo, whether the rear is locked or not? Even if 4 Lo is required, don't most newer truck apply some sort of braking to a spinning rt or lt front wheel if the rear is locked? And don't some do so in 4HI?

You need ABLS to work with the locker. The front should be braking to help assist the rear. Nissan's just suck off-road. Not saying this truck is not a decent value, but every video off-road shows how this truck is seriously lacking -- especially considering it has a rear locker.

Yeah it's good for uneducated folks that are too lazy to learn. But I would never pay 40k+ for old tech and engineering. Could've just bought last generation and save 10-15k if people truly just want a truck for truck use. This truck is a fail compared to its competitors, hence low sales and always low resale value. Anyone that buys this generation instead of last generation, a part of them want to just look modern with some modern tech and can't afford the others. Nissan will forever be a low quality brand.

Manufacturers have to play to the majority of buyers who will use this as a daily driver and need the balance of on road performance and some off road capabilities. Additionally, they have to meet safety requirements and a more road biased tire helps them meet performance parameters for safety requirements. If you want the best off road performance, you have to expect to buy new tires.

What I like about the Frontier is its honest in what it is. There are no Turbo's, nothing crazy fancy under the hood, or suspension, its just old school proven. The part I don't get is the price. I understand these trucks have newer safety tech and all, but in 2019 I bought a new Pro 4X fully loaded for $31,400(US) plus tax and fees. A new Pro 4X similarly equipped costs almost $50k. I do not see $19k worth of stuff on the new truck. Other than that? I prefer the Frontier over the others in the class for its simplicity.

I bought my Wife's Pro 4X on discount because during COVID no one was buying cars. So we got a really good deal, but now you go to the Dealer and they won't even budge on prices at all. When I just happened to look at a new Frontier PRO 4X while at the dealer getting an oil filter my our Frontier I noticed some neat features on the new truck, but then I looked and saw all it didn't have for the price point. No Sunroof, No Leather, no heated seats, even the Utili Track system wasn't as good, our truck has rails on the bed floor the new truck doesn't. Yes the new truck has more "gadgets" and tech, but most of that is useless off road and doesn't really make it a "Better" truck overall. But this particular PRO 4X was $46k. One with Leather and a Sunroof was $50k. I told the sales guy that is freaking ridiculous I would never pay that for a Truck. Heck in 2015 our then New Titan 4x4 was bought for under $40k its just crazy how much things have gone up and people seem ok with it for some reason, just saying its "Inflation". At no time in USA history has "Inflation" gone up 20-25% in 3 yrs. Folks, we are being played. Enough Said. Nice truck yes, but not $50k nice.

I usually give your videos a thumbs up but I sensed a bit of bias. Even though this wasn't your truck and you drove it extremely cautious, I've seen you drive other brands of midsize trucks with much more gusto. It seemed to me that you wanted the truck to fail but it came off like you who failed as a driver. If Nissan lends you a truck to test drive and review their is no reason to hold back. So what if they have to come a retrieve it with a wrecker. At least you would still be left with your dignity and the respect of your viewers. I'd be willing to watch you do another test of this model with proper mud tires and maybe a couple of liters of mountain dew to help with your driving attitude. 😊

I love the Frontier for what it is. A simple, no nonsense truck. Naturally asperated, none of the stupid electronics that so many trucks have now. It can still be worked on in the driveway and is OK on fuel. I do wish it was a floor shifter for the transfer case and not the electronic shift, but those don't exist anymore. From factory it comes with some terrible tires, but upgrade those and it's a beast. The old school drivability of the truck is meant for a very specific segment. The Frontier is IMO still the best mid sized truck, but I hate all the new technology.

"No amount of traction control will help with a "no traction" situation. I think you actually can pin it all on the (terrible) tires as I think the Frontier would be a different truck in those conditions with better tires.".............. I agree, but applying a brake to a uselessly spinning wheel and sending power to a wheel that MIGHT have better traction might make the difference in slowly moving forward vs stuck. And in this day and age, I really want any truck I have to be able to either lock and axle or greatly limit a spinning tire. All for the same reason that I want lockers or at least limited slip difs. Some good mud tires probably would have pushed this Nissan thru, but what new truck comes with true mudders?

Better tires made a huge difference on our '11 Frontier V6 6MT. Ground clearance and turning radius are certainly weak points on ours, but being able to completely disengage the primitive stability and traction controls on the truck is great. Everything still works on it as we approach 200K miles with mostly basic maintenance. Even with regularly towing ~2000 lbs., the clutch still lasted to about 160,000, and the engine still sounds good and pulls well. The 4x4 time it sees is mostly snow wheeling, and some muddy trails - it does okay on both -- tires, as you said. For the new one, it seems like they didn't go far enough in design to make a substantial improvement over what they were already producing overall. No excuse for that shock giving up, either, especially since what we saw of your test was low-speed.

Hated everything about it, I was only getting 15-18 mpg, 260 miles per tank, the truck was sloooooooow, that 4 cylinder was Toyota’s worst mistake. The inside is smaller than all midsize trucks out there. Luckily I was able to sell that piece of poop to my local Nissan dealership, they paid off my loan completely and bought a Frontier pro 4x for a little over 39k after all rebates and negotiations. I couldn’t be happier, this is day and night for me, this truck can move, plus I have about 6 in more of leg room in the back and front, this feels like a real truck.

I drive a second gen frontier and do lots of off-roading and overlanding. Nissan has always struggled with ground clearance and turning radius. I wish they would release a higher clearance model like Chevy did with ZR2. Cut out bumpers and a front locker would go along way. Stock tires suck too but everybody changes tires anyway. I lifted mine 2.5” with 33’s which works great with the wheelbase. 4wd system works great without all the Nannies that other vehicles have. About the same break over angle as a buddies JT on 35’s. Mine has gone everywhere my friends similarly built tacomas and gladiators have been.

The shock breaking is inexcusable, but having seen other reviews and not seeing that happen, it wouldn't disturb me too much as a potential buyer. I don't have alot of experience with Bilstein but I'd expect them to not be turning out many lemons. The tires really were outmatched in these conditions, though, and I hope something more aggressive is at least an option. Generally though, I think the Frontier could still be one of the better values in the segment, they really do need to be more transparent about the Nismo suspension though, I find the fact they wouldn't tell you more about it concerning.

When I had my 2018 Pro4X (Dude I love/Hate my Ride) I did a lot of trails with the Bancroft Overland Club and had no problems in "summertime mud" and never had any traction issues. (Our local trails don't open until May 1st) BUT - I did frequently have that problem of not being able to get out of 4-low. When you're leading a trail ride and you come to pavement and you can't get out of 4-low, that can be a problem for everyone behind you. I would have to remember to get on the radio in advance and say "stay 2 truck lengths away from my bumper 'cause I'm probably going to have to back up". In 2018 that truck was thousands less than the Tacoma and the Ranger wasn't even available yet so I put up with the idiosyncrasies.

Most people on the internet just parrot what they’ve read in the comments about Nissan without ever owning one. They don’t do research. Pretty much across all the consumer surveys (JD Power, etc.) and reliability data (RepairPal, etc.) Nissan is avg or slightly above avg depending on model. But they can be purchased for cheaper than pretty much anything else. So you get average or better reliability for less than everything cost. They’re a great deal! Especially in the used market.

It was never competitive baba. The problem Nissan has now is have they made it competitive. Sits very low. Even adding the slightest bigger tire is problematic. Lifting the truck higher requires more expenses than other trucks. Nissan really didn’t tap into the offroad community with the new design. Small wheel wells low height and an over load of sensors that cause some issues out on the trails. I bought one and this has been my experience. They do ride nice on the road though. Nice interior.

The truck itself is excellent value for the price and now seeing the video from TFL Trucks KZbin channel I’m inconclusive about the comment of the Tacoma in this video.

Whom ever kitted out the vehicle went for looks and minimum capability. The Pro4X is just a step up from the regular frontier, the Dana 44 axle and a rear locker and basic first stage Bilstein shocks. Nissan let themselves down with all that very expensive and not very capable equipment.

If I needed a new truck to replace my 2004 Ford Ranger, this is on my shortlist. This truck is "old school", but who cares. That just means it is well built and easy to work on. I like that it has a traditional V6. The modern 9 speed auto is a nice touch. I don't think the cameras are all that important, plus I wouldn't use the truck in extreme off road situations anyway. What is a bummer is that Nissan doesn't advertise this truck. I suspect most of the car buyers out there may not even know the Frontier is an option. It is priced below the other trucks in the segment, and yet is probably the most reliable and simple. The only other truck I might consider is the Honda Ridgeline, quite frankly.

Thanks for the in depth review. A major factor in your off-road review was simply how muddy it was. I think any truck with those tires wouldn't have fared much better. I'd really like to see this truck in a drier setting off-road, unless it was properly equipped with mud terrains. As far as the traction control, this would be a major issue, had it not have a rear locker. I can live with the less advanced traction control system. Despite a less than stellar showing here, I still like this truck. I really like it's looks. I also really appreciate the naturally aspirated 3.8 V6. Good horsepower, a nice linear response, and no turbo. Simple. It's really the last of an era. The only thing I can knock this truck on is it's infotainment. I wish it had a clearer, bigger screen. Would I take this over a Colorado and Tacoma? Actually yes, I think I still would, because of the aforementioned details. There's something to be said of old tech. Just look at your friends over at TFLs Tacoma. Broke the axle disconnect on the very first obstacle it faced. Or Andre's Colorado. The backup cam still doesn't work and the truck was bricked for days due to a software glitch. This Frontier is still a really solid pickup.

The diff can't do much when you're high centered lol. The heavy steering is 100% not an issue to me. My first truck was a b2200 and it had manual steering. so, any assist is better.

After all these years, I still love my 1992 Hardbody. 4WD, V6, Manual trans. Sitting on destinations and KYB's. Never had a problem yet. Then again, I don't trap myself in ruts, then try to take off. SMH.

There were situations of 4x4 high that, at the speeds taken, any rational driver would just do in 4x4 low. If you're driving as slow as they are (in the forest) - just go 4x4 low and let the truck do the work.
