Off-road Testing the new 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro4X!

[@paulwintermute1495]

Props to Nissan for putting you journalists out on real trails not just some stupid obstacle course in a parking lot. I'm definitely considering this over the ranger or taco.

[@useryggfdcc]

Over the ranger but NOT the Taco.

[@paulwintermute1495]

@Mackatax 1114 content embargoes are pretty normal. It's so that all the info is released at the same time. You see it in almost every industry and every manufacturer does it, even bicycle manufacturers.

[@pagodad2036]

It will drive better than the taco. Nothing has a worse transmission except the gm twins.

[@gtlegacy1]

Taco is overhyped

[@BuzzzdLightyear]

@@useryggfdcc Have you actually driven the new Taco? The seating position is too low and the drivetrain is dogshit. They should've just kept the 4.0 from the last generation.

[@tgordon4881]

You guys just provided far more information about the new Frontier than anyone else! Even dealers don't know what configurations will be available and you answered all of my questions. Thank you!

Just bought a green 2022 frontier Pro-X with the lava cloth seats yesterday great truck super happy!

[@garyharms8466]

Hey you’re in my neighborhood. I have driven most of the roads in that area. One of the best things about living here is being able to go into the mountains or out into the desert if I want wide open nothingness. It’s real dusty because up until this week we haven’t had any rain for months. Set the AC on recirculate to keep the dust out without plugging up the cabin air filter.

[@miguelircontar]

Beautiful truck and scenery

[@twinversbr]

I don't understand putting it in 4 low so early. 4 high or even 2wd is capable early on. Plus isn't traditionally as hard on the drivetrain.

[@elflordsjourneys]

I thought the same thing, I've driven my 2007 frontier long bed crew cab up rockier trails in 2wd. I'm in no hurry to spend 40k on a new truck yet., as much as I love this new model.

[@seagullsbtn]

Reduces the torque induced stress on a small number of components. Less chance of breaking anything.

[@tcj226]

My guess is that Nissan just wanted to make sure the journalists were driving 4 wheel drive, otherwise some may not have switched over at the appropriate time and gotten themselves stuck, which would look very bad for Nissan. I doubt they care very much how much wear is on the drivetrain of these pre-production trucks.

[@darkcell06]

I would be most afraid of the truck in front of me spitting a rock at my windshield

[@felsenrogers4083]

Not sure the trail proved the off road capability or not, but since I was not there, I can only base my comment on your footage. The new Frontier looks awesome and I love the beige color the most. Thank you for sharing your video!

[@marioelburro1492]

Ive always liked the looks of the frontiers especially with the top luggage bars they would have. My father got his 04 frontier v6 back in 2008 and it's had its fair share of issues due to aging but it still runs great. Its probably the most beaten up on the streets due to his job, but i love that truck despite it's conditions. I really like the new one !

[@alejandrom1261]

Cool video, I've been there with my corolla.

[@stephenbeale9520]

I would have liked to see what some of the dash was displaying; seeing your camber angles and pitch. I've done roads like that in a side by side, but never owned a truck small enough to be able to get to those narrow trails.

Haven’t ever really been a big fan of mid size trucks….but I believe i like this one. Can’t wait for you to do some good reviews JD.

I sure hope the USA gets a Pro4X king cab, makes no sense not to offer it, I know I wouldn't be interested in any other models myself. Why limit this model to Canada makes no sense at all to me, way more units would be sold if king cab pro4x is offered in the usa as well.

I have a 2012 Nissan Sentra S with over 224,000 miles on it. Never had an issue with the original CVT. I changed the fluid every 60,000 miles as required in the owner’s manual. Nissan is capable to be reliable as Toyota and Honda. You haters should learn how to read a manual and drive a car properly and you won’t have any problems long term.

Tacoma's are overrated, as are most Toyotas...they aren't what they used to be.

Seems strange that with all of the computers, sensors and lightweight plastic that used to be metal. modern vehicles do not get much better gas mileage than 6 cylinders of the 80s.

[@ProbeGT2]

if you compare this to an 80's mid size truck, this thing is as big as an 80's half ton. That's why. and all the safety stuff, complicated engine and zillion gears transmissions are heavier.

[@chrisinutahpagano6774]

for the amount of increased horse power and torque! my 2003 frontier had way less power than my 2006 pathfinder (same drive train as frontier) but relatively the same gas mileage. I think the power gains to fuel consumption is amazing really. a half ton gets roughly the same mileage so you must really want or need a midsized truck for whatever reasons.
