The 2022 Nissan Frontier LWB is an Affordable and Practical Truck

[@aurorajones8481]

I can see this truck doing the duty of pool cleaning, landscaping, plumber, electrician... Lets name all the trades! hehe

[@codincoman9019]

Looks like the new Nissan Frontier will be reliable. V6, crew cabin long bed, nothing complicated. Well done, Nissan!

[@dohc1067]

Clean, simple, muscular, and yet retro at the same time. A splash of tech here and there. Not bad at all. I especially like the pro x edition.

[@ekgcanadianenthusiast9961]

The nissan frontier is a excellent mid size truck and class leader .

[@Ybshy]

A simple yet effective truck for a daily

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

Just bought this exact truck a few weeks back to replace my 20 year old Toyota Tundra. Other than the Nissan being about 2" narrower, it's nearly identical dimensionally. In fact, the Frontier LWB has almost a foot longer wheelbase than my Tundra! It's not widely known but the Frontier LWB has the exact same wheelbase as the current Titan (139.8). Both Nissans are built on the F-Alpha platform so no real surprise. As a Toyota fanboy, I really wanted a new Tacoma or new Tundra but I feel Toyota really let me down. The current V6 Tacoma has a terrible drive train. I rented one twice to pull a 2,500 pound trailer from AZ to CA. Accelerator to the floor to get any power, hours-long high RPMs, endlessly shifting transmission, and a bad driving position wore me out. Looked at the new Tundra but turbo engines are a deal breaker. Also, the eye-watering "market adjustment" pricing and overwrought cartoonish styling completely killed it for me. As for driving dynamics, the Frontier feels like an updated version of my '03 Tundra. Traditional truck feel with updated features. Perfect. It's the truck Toyota should have built.

[@kCI251]

How much did you pay for your new Frontier last year?

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

I bought it in August of 2022 for $39,800 OTD. It’s an SV LWB (long wheel base) with no additional option packages. Bought it at Larry H. Nissan in Mesa, AZ. They were great to deal with. Zero games. Zero dealer add-ons. Negotiating took all of 10 minutes w $800 off MSRP. They even surprised me with free tint when I picked it up. Been sending all my friends and family to them. Tell them Tom sent you 😉

[@lyf3cycl3]

This seems like the best midsize on the market right now

[@codyosborne1548]

Exactly what im looking for in a midsized pick-up

[@toronado455]

5:07 all the toys got buried! 😂

[@nikkisdad6705]

Need more information about all those vibrations throughout the truck while in gear stopped at a traffic light. Whats that all about? I don’t want to have to slip it into neutral every time I stop at a light. That could be a deal breaker.

[@toronado455]

I wonder if the idle vibrations would go away if the A/C was off. That might be the culprit. Still, unacceptable on a brand new vehicle. Thanks for an honest video! 🏆

[@ramoncarter6585]

My baby like mines except 2015 Rogue SL, the new Frontier is nice love this midsize truck. It is worth purchasing it seems Nissan really making some great looking cars saw some new changes with 2023 Altima just should had changed taillights they are bit old now.

[@Nemura12]

This truck might be a winner. If Toyota comes with a 4 cylinder for the new Toyota many Toyota fans might go with this truck.

[@beexiong2995]

I cant wait until the 2.4l turbo is in the tacoma. It will have over 300lb ft or torque which it sorely needs

[@davidwalker989]

Hey Kirk, why has Nissan discontinued the NV van lineup. I just saw that on their website

[@KirkKreifels]

Not making enough money for them

[@thersanothersidetome]

I’d be so down for this truck given the great leases that were available too. But I got a 60 mile commute so gotta wait for that Maverick hybrid order bank to open up.

[@Pengo64436]

I don’t understand why all these truck makers keep making the trucks with a 4 foot bed , the wheel well starts right behind the cab, this one is nice four doors and a 6’ bed

[@sharkskin3448]

💯! Fwiw, this bed is 3" wider and 1"+ deeper than the Taco 6'. The Taco is 3/4" longer. Yes. I measured. The rear seat flip is better in the Taco for cargo. I like this Frontier. I'm considering trading down from full size Tundra. That's why I'm obsessing on size.

[@chrisa9373]

Neither do I. Infuriates me actually. I call them a bi#$h beds. 5' isn't even a bed, more like a cargo box. If you can't even haul a 2x4x8 in one, then it's hardly even a truck. More like SUV with a cargo box. Real men need a 6' or better bed. The sales lots are full of ProX's that will never haul a full sheet of sheetrock, and never see the "off road".

[@seanhershey3390]

I’ll take a shorter cab/ longer bed..anyday

[@OnkelPHMagee]

10:00 If they were a surprise to you, maybe the Avalon's gold badges were a dealer add-on.

[@SaskSneeze]

if the tailgate is down then the side step is helpful

[@KirkKreifels]

Good point. Growing up, if the tailgate was too tall, you'd climb over the tire haha.

[@adam1885282]

I like plain, i wish they made a version with manual trans

[@alengreen589]

it does the job.

[@Yormsane]

I'm a big fan of the Frontier - love the old-school analog gauges and control layout. But it desperately needs an entry-level, 4-cylinder engine to help with the mpgs. I'd get the base model King Cab S trim, for the best value.

[@xBeeGee]

A manual option would be cool too

[@newwavetheo]

That used to exist up until 2020, when the new 3.8L V6/9-speed auto replaced the old 4.0L V6/5-speed auto or 6-speed manual and the 2.5L 4-cyl (QR25DE)/5-speed auto or 5-speed manual. The 4-cylinders didn't seem to sell all that well, and it didn't help that it was a King Cab exclusive engine so it makes sense why the V6 is standard.

[@danrenfroe2016]

Question, did the long wheelbase SV with long bed did it ride a little bit better than the short wheelbase model you drove prior? I'm hearing conflicting information I know that long wheelbase is supposed to feel better on the highway.

[@ddd4702]

I would love to know this as well!

[@danrenfroe2016]

@@ddd4702 hello. I did get to drive a 24 SV Crew Cab long bed long wheel base. In my opinion it does ride better. The extra distance between the axles really makes a difference. It is an absolute land yacht to turn through. I am picking up my new truck hopefully this week. (Took awhile for the correct truck to be available. )

[@thetinysideoftiny7625]

I have the LWB and the ride is great. Very smooth. Better than my 1st gen Tundra!

[@mbiker345]

I really like the looks on these. the direct injection only and the fact the seat is busted already dont give me a ton of confidence unfortunately.

[@user-iz3gv5vo6b]

Your dad too? Does everyone's dad put their automatic transmission vehicles in neutral when at a stop?

[@patrickbateman6885]

So you have Adaptive Cruise Control, but you don't have LED headlights? That makes perfect sense.

[@anthonycastro1232]

Please excuse my ignorance but what is lwb?

[@qualitylandscapeandhauling7942]

Long wheel base

[@dlg5485]

I would definitely buy a Frontier SV LWB if it was better equipped, but you don't even get any of the best features with the long bed. I don't know what Nissan was thinking, but it's ridiculous. This is a $40k truck with the tech package (and 4WD as I would get it) and you still don't get basic sh*t like heated seats, LED lights, sunroof, etc. Pretty pathetic honestly.

[@georgewashington7574]

This right here ^. Most expensive truck with the least amount of options. All because it’s a long bed.

[@spyderlogan4992]

But does it have 'garageability'?

[@KirkKreifels]

Haha I haven't tested this. I don't think it would fit in most garages.

[@beexiong2995]

I can't help but notice how much nissan is trying to mimic the tacoma. Even all the button switchgear are in the same spots as the tacoma.

[@americandude3825]

I want that exact truck in silver.

[@chillnndc]

I don't know but $36k is hard to swallow for something so plain Jane. It would be more competitive at a lower price

[@georgewashington7574]

Nothing “affordable” about a $40,000 midsize truck. Stop paying these ridiculous prices.

[@SvenQ45]

Too bad it´s shaking. Maybe the Pro-4X is made to sound louder under acceleration? 😁

[@TridentNine]

STOP SHIFTING INTO NEUTRAL AT STOPS. You are putting alot more wear on your clutch! Sweet truck.

[@theirthereandtheyre2947]

They should make this in the Pro 4X trim.

[@0NIN7]

The poor man's work truck.

[@JJ-mh3hb]

36k is considered cheap I guess

[@swami539]

They have cheaper models than this you can get with crew or king cabs with different bed options short or long if your looking for just a work truck

[@deanvoss7098]

No one rides in the back seat of these.. Ill take short cab ...long bed...

[@kCI251]

Better ride quality is the biggest benefit of a LWB truck.

[@tomfaro6259]

I saw a new one in person. I was not impressed. Crappy built with cheap plastic bad window rubber. And very high price at 38k for 2 wheel drive models

[@aurorajones8481]

I have to say the red on this truck is horrid (coming through on my screen) I like the other reds you flashed for options. BUT this red reminds me of... wait for it. Porsche's $3,270 Carmine Red. Another red I hate and you pay 3k for it! Like REALLY?! My favorite red of all time is 1 Infrared $595 by Lexus - 2 Valencia Red Pearl $6,000 by Acura & - 3 Soul Red Crystal $595 by Mazda

[@aurorajones8481]

I guess its a good work truck red. You don't want classy on a work truck I get that.

[@popeye1426]

I usually dislike red but I actually thought this shade was perfect! I’m considering picking this truck up in this color
