Stock Nissan Frontier Wheeling Hard at Moon Rocks, NV

The Nissan Frontier is known to be a capable and tough little truck. I never knew just how tough and capable it really was until Saturday.

Thanks for posting this! The driver is definitely giving Nissan some well deserved respect in the US since we don't have the Patrol in the states not to mention Nissan doesn't know how to advertise it's truck line:)

[@NaritasanStudios]

@Reno Overlanding You're spot on the money bud! This is amazing and don't know why so many Nissan guys are all worked up over this. The guy clearly wanted to test the stock form and rightfully did so!! Bravo!! I wanna meet up with this guy and run trails together! Hit me up on Instagram @daily_driven_nissan 🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@thadlogan51]

Wow... this is insane. I'm blown away at your good of an off road vehicle the Nissan is...extremely impressed. It made me really rethink buying a Toyota when the Nissan can handle this. I think the Toyotas are better looking but for the capability of the Nissan and lower price definitely something to consider... especially when this is the stock SV model with stock tires, suspension, etc. Crazy he did this with new truck!

@@johnnyreb1475 I ended up buying a 2019 Nissan Frontier pro 4x about six months ago and it's pretty awesome actually. I took it hunting to some narly places and was shocked at how it handled everything with ease. I don't rock crawl with it though or I'd need to give it a lift... but for anything else it's great...

[@Apcrawler]

Man, I gotta tell ya.. I have watched this so many times and I smile and cringe every time. Its GREAT watching a stock frontier take on this kind of obstacle and conquer it. Yes a few scratches but other than the one high center total rocked it ! Thanks for posting it!!

[@Cristina-.]

Ahhh! This is awesome! I got me a nissan frontier and already have critics saying I should have gotten an over priced tacoma. This video makes me confident in my frontier. 👍👍

[@johnrep808]

4.0 under your hood baby

[@KF7MGT]

Yeah just make sure you get a lift before you go to Moon Rocks 🤣

[@Bigjobrob]

Nissan Frontier’s are way better off road than people give them credit for. Still, this was some epic driving. Made me cringe a bunch of times. Eager to see what it can do with some mods and bigger tires!

[@ryanhenningsen247]

Will still be my daily but got a Titan Swap and coastal offroad bumpers going on it along with sliders and maybe 33s. That 4.0 is peppy so 35s are doable but then I would do too much silly crap! Definitely cringy sounds but I already know all those current parts are temporary so it didn't bother me. Cool thing is these are a smooth belly, just dragging frame.

[@scott8238]

[@TreeLovinAdventures]

@@ryanhenningsen247 dude...you killed it. Very skilled driver. As for the 35s, the Frontier hates it with stock gears. I think your wise to stick with 33s. Much regret going to 35s on ours. Find us on instagram because we have some discounts code for some Frontier goodies

I wish I could express my admiration I like rock crawling and I usually see fully built vehicles doing this not something stock like that just wow 🤯

[@313bootboy6]

Love the frontier. Got a 19 SL and threw some KO2s on there. Eats f-150s for breakfast in the Michigan winters

[@adkcampadventures]

Frontier for the win! I know plenty of Tacomas and such that would have died trying to do this.

[@victorramsey5575]

I have a 2020 Frontier SV crew cab, and I used to have a 2012 Frontier SV 4x4 KING cab (rare). I dont do too much off roading but Frontiers are amazing jumpers on dirt roads.

[@frankmurphy5]

I just got a Frontier and I love it. Nice video and driving!

[@h3m1cuda]

Who needs a lift or 35's with this guy driving?

[@benharrison314]

thats one tought little truck

[@carlosizz89]

yes sell the tacoma and get a frontier, just as capable if not more and for a better price, equally reliable too if not more if you get a fronty with less tech. Plenty of mod options just harder to find because they're less popular.

[@HardEnduro8]

Awesome video. The Nissans are awesome rigs ( and yes I’m a former Taco owner). Mine is fully built with 35’s and Titan Swapped front end. Love my rig and I abuse the crap out of it.

[@HardEnduro8]

Next time you’re in Cali let me know and I’ll bring it up for a walk around review. Cheers 👍🏼

Was out there a few weeks ago with the wife, man wish we had seen something like this.

[@fredgarvin7033]

I went with Tacoma because I do a lot of camping, off road across the country and the sv is the only Nissan choice with 6' bed and costs thousands just to get to Toy capability with locker. I like the Frontier powertrain but that was it. Friend has the Nissan and his right doors come misaligned from factory and they say it's okay because no noise... sorry but no. His is the pro 5' bed and does great but not as much clearance

[@OverlandPNW]

Very nice driving ! Those step downs can be tricky!

[@crisikingful]

Oh wow not bad for sv 😁 I'm more amazed about the tires on it lol I hated the tires on my sv ehh jeeze on the first day I got my truck to I went off road and hit a rock that punctured my tire got falken wildpeaks a/ts now love them hehe

[@alexctucson]

Cool to see what a Frontier can do. I wouldn’t do that to my frontier anytime soon. I think the Tacoma is a slightly better truck. But in terms of value for the money the frontier cannot be beat.

[@MrCingred]

I think I am watching the truck I bought from a Reno dealer in late 2021 being beat to shit. Can’t pin it down, but I have had issues with the brakes,and if this dude had it, that would explain some of the issues.

[@jacobstein7179]

Why in the world would you destroy a new car like this. The money he lost by doing this would be the same it would cost to get sliders, bumpers, and a lift. I don't think about once he removes the bumpers all the damage will disappear

[@ryanhenningsen247]

Easy answer cause I own it... What money did I lose again? I've never bought a vehicle with resale on my mind, im 41 and still own my first truck from age 17 ( and yes, I beat on it). Some people wax thier trucks or put chrome on em, I go offroad and have fun even if it adds dents. But I fix all my own stuff and can assure you, that truck will be with me 20 years from now.

[@jacobstein7179]

@@ryanhenningsen247 if it really doesn't bother you that's a fair point. I like to use my truck but I have trouble doing stuff I know will damage it to begin with, I'd rather prepare for it. To me, doing that would outweigh the fun. Enjoy dude!!

[@ryanhenningsen247]

@@jacobstein7179 in a bit of my defense, it was rear-ended recently so my rear bumper and part of bed got toasted already anyways. But honestly, I don't like the stress of owning super nice stuff, I feel like I'm borrowing someone's rig and can't have any fun. All my other trucks are 89 or older. This is the newest vehicle I've ever owned and now it's officially part of the fleet!

@All-Terrain Family does Ryan has a youtube channel?

[@BlazzinTech]

I Just don't understand why you would do this. He could have posted up and someone would have taken his stock stuff, since its the midnight edition, and he could have gotten his off road stuff. Yes this was probably fun but man I am sure he did more COSMETIC damage than just the bumpers.

[@ryanhenningsen247]

It's an sv, not midnight and it was previously rear-ended so bumper and quarters were going away anyways. Cosmetics are for girls.

[@BlazzinTech]

@@ryanhenningsen247 Did not know that, thanks for info. FYI the midnight edition is a package for the SV (blackout grille and black wheels I think)

[@dahatchery]

I love my 2 Frontiers, they are truly better than Toyota Tacoma for off road. In saying that, the frontier has better usable power but that’s where it ends up because the designers of the frontier are complete idiots designing this truck as low as the 380z. I’ll keep my 2 trucks because I know I can get a lot of miles out of them but again, only an idiot would design a 4x4 so low that it is right in line with their Altima, Sentra, maxima.

[@espososacevedo]

I would like to know if this frontier is a pro 4 or just regular four by four

[@TheSpartin252]

SV trim. So just a regular 4x4

[@CACressida]

You dont think it could? The Tacoma has more articulation than that thing. Give him the keys and he'll show you it could.

[@AllTerrainFamily]

I think it has too much hanging below the frame rails. But maybe.

[@CACressida]

@@AllTerrainFamily if a stock FJ and 5th gen 4Runner can take 14 miles of Rubicon hell with the same low hanging jewels, your Taco will handle that. The big question is, can you ignore the cosmetic damages?

[@AllTerrainFamily]

I can’t. Is there video of a stock fj on the rubicon?

[@CACressida]

@@AllTerrainFamily @All-Terrain Family Toyota had a whole campaign called the trail teams where they used to take a few FJs and take new FJ owners out to trails across the country. Only thing modified on the campaigns FJs were ARB winch bumpers. Here's a truck trend article with 4Runners on the trail. You can flip through the pictures. www.fourwheeler.com/vehicle-reviews/129-0912-2010-toyota-4runner-review-rubicon-trail/ Joe Bacal crossed the Rubicon trail without scratching the FJ. All the pictures you see in Toyotas ads of the blue FJ is on the Rubicon. All the videos of the trail trams campaign are a decade old and buried in KZbin or deleted forever.

[@NaritasanStudios]

@@CACressida yeah but you can cross the Rubicon in 33's in most 4x4's now days. Hit that trail in 85' with an fj or taco and all the old schools would laugh 😂🤣🤣 the Rubicon isn't what it used to be. Still love the place but sucks they destroyed it and made it easy for everyone.

[@jeromeburrasca6710]

For rock crawling, I would use a light built XJ or a Chevy LS based tube buggy. He probably doesn’t care if that Nissan explodes, he’s just having fun. I would never do that with a daily driver or a Overlanding rig.

[@gingerroot3226]

I've gone offroading in my nissan frontier daily driver! It is a pro 4x though... an extra inch of clearance and skid plates go a long way!
