I'm a minimalist kind of guy. The lack of gaudy colors and stitching is one of my top likes, not dislikes. That's why I like the leather interior. If you get the cloth seats in the Pro 4X it comes with red stitching and red highlights in the doors of the truck. I drove one and the seat height is fine for 5'11". I like a mid-size truck because they are so much better off road than a full size. They also fit in my garage.

[@countfloyd1269]

I like the how simple they made this truck I like the interior muted the way they did it. I have had mine for 3 months and my biggest gripe is the turning radius.

[@travispowell2471]

Well said. Simple is good.

[@reecealeck8314]

Ya I hate the red on the cloth seats. Sucks cuz I would like to be able to get the cheaper interior. But there’s no way I’m buying a truck with red stitching

[@billtaylor2405]

Amen to the garage. I have gone through too many vehicles. I sold off my Tacoma because I took it to a speed shop and they put RV tires on it that pretty much ruined it. I left it to the experience of the sales department to choose the size, not knowing how destructive oversized wheels and tires could be. I went from the Tacoma to an F150 with a V8 plus a lot of bells and whistles, but when I closed the garage door there wasn't much more than a couple inches to spare on either end. The 2019 Frontier literally gave me over a foot clearance. I am a minimalist too, but I missed the GPS feature from the F150, and the '19 Frontier was not equipped to handle any electronic accessories, but it was still a great truck. Myu problem, being in a West Texas town has always been selection. I took my '19 last week for its routine service and they just brought in two red( I call it candy apple red) '22 Frontier King Cab SV's. One was a 4x4, now it is in my garage. It is so seldom you see a vehicle in an attractive color, and it was a king cab as well, that I jumped on it. I have to say, that 9 speed Mercedes inspired transmission is another story completely. At first it felt weird, but I have to get into traffic quick during certain times of day because of the rush. I got on it with that 9 speed and it is very smooth. The '19 worked a whole lot hard and was slightly slower. That '22 felt like it was just gliding, no jerking.. I am sort of a minimalist. My first truck was a King Cab XE V6 back in '87, it was known as a "Nissan Hard Body" back then. I think you have to be a bit of a minimalist to go for the smaller Nissan. Back in '07, I ended up with a Tacoma because Toyota was having problems moving vehicles over the scandal with the sticking accelerator pedal, which they repaired in time, so they gave me terms. I would have preferred the Nissan which I test drove first. The local Nissan dealer where I was at the time would not talk terms. The Tacoma gave me 8 good years, except for the dealer installed remote starter which ate three batteries.

I'm a minimalist, kind guy. Wants leather seats

[@aniakdrift]

You give the truck praise for being an “inexpensive alternative” and then complain about the quality of the floor mats 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@dominicbowers6628]

Nissans seats use a NASA technology inspired design called zero gravy seats meaning they’re designed to have no pressure points on the body which also reduced fatigue when driving long periods of time! They’re great

[@bigbrowntrout1]

"Zero gravy" 😅

[@austincolt3306]

6’3 all torso and I fit fine in mine. I prefer all blacked out interior. Colors don’t age well. Seems like something a young adult would prefer though and I get it. Truck feels like it’s built like a mini tank. Love the heavier hydraulic power steering and the motor without turbos and batteries.

Picked up my Frontier Pro4X in July. So far I'm very happy with it. Am not regretting my choice at all.

Wife's regularly getting 23 with her 22. My 13 Gen 2 Frontier get's 15 MPG But it lasted the loan has 0 rust 175.000 miles never once been in for repair other then consumables. Great little trucks.

[@shiftmotorsports9803]

I'm a little disappointed in your dislike #3. As a "truck guy" you should know that tires don't go straight up and down. They tilt as they articulate. The stock tires don't rub the fender trim when flexing. TFL did an off road review showing it articulating. Putting larger tires on this truck would probably require a lift though.

[@marvinjayparis7396]

Yeah TFL did it and a better review,.

[@danielrn133]

That is what he says. With larger tires someone may have a problem.

[@tomdavis3038]

32’s fit the previous generation with no modifications whatsoever

[@alexgarcia3900]

Most people put slightly wider and bigger wheels. This is a pro4x model, so obviously, people are going to want to mod it. It's probably an easy fix, but it's still a valid point.

[@maximolacerante8808]

If youre going to be putting larger tires then you should know that it will impact the rest of the truck in many ways and likely should expect to do modifications as needed, like a lift kit, and even differential gears at some point.

I have had my 2022 sv for a xouple months now and i have found it to be quite capable. I am averaging 21-22 mpg very consistently. And find it is not lacking in the power dept. Good rig for under 39k and comfortable to drive. The only thing that i was suprised was how heavy the steering felt at first. But it has gotten better, or i have grown use to it, after the 1st 1k miles . Good review Sir thanks

my 22 frontier gets 25 mpg avg highway, and sometimes 27, and once a 28 mpg. 2 wheel drive version. Keep the throttle changes light, and keep the throttle steady. If any doubters out there I posted it on youtube shorts. This new truck is amazing especially with these high gas prices.

Great review. I'm actually looking at this vs the Chevy Colorado. IMO, none of the five "hates" are deal stoppers; at least for me. I currently have a 2012 Frontier in the SV trim and never, ever had a problem. Perhaps the main reason why I may go back to Nissan.

[@keithert]

I owned the previous-generation frontier. I sold it because the seat comfort was terrible. It had these weird ridges that ran across the bolsters. I sat in a new fFontier today and it felt much better.

[@mikesawyer1336]

Tim, I love your channel, I must have watched 20 videos on the Nissan frontier. This is the best. You covered it all. Thank you and agree with most of your comments. I'm just about ready to pull the trigger on a 2023 leftover and part of that is due to all the research that you and other KZbinrs have done for us.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Glad it was helpful!

[@paulm6481]

A full size truck as personal vehicle in cities is tough to own. Tough to park and navigate. Midsize trucks are where it’s at.

[@beexiong2995]

Yup one reason why I went taco over tundra this year.

[@MK4vDubbin]

I don’t really think that’s true anymore. I drove full size trucks in urban environments for years and never had any issue, especially with the newer ones. I won’t argue a mid size isn’t easier, but there’s no issues driving and parking a half ton in a city. You might just need more seat time in one.

[@tenncutt]

My Pro 4X came with both the nice carpeted mats and a set of the rubber mats too.

[@Jupiter2796]

Thanks for a good review. It is a truck and while better gas mileage would be great, it is comparable to this market segment. None of the dislikes are an issue for me. The new styling is fresh and long overdue. I like it. I'll be going from a sedan to this if I don't change my mind in the next year.

[@Eclipse-ss7ko]

I bought the 2021 Frontier with the new engine and the new reansmission. I love this truck. I get 23 and 18 miles per gallon and I really do not mind. I really think that the vehicle is perfect even with the old styling. Go Frontier!!

[@richardstewart7263]

Nissan does offer orange stitching on some pro 4x models, seats , steering wheel and shifter and possibly on the dash, as far as wheel clearance, most people will either get a leveling kit or a 2 inch lift which will give you plenty room for bigger tires and clearance

[@Wuldier]

you can only have the orange stitching on the non top trim pro 4x, i wanted the sun roof and sub woofer and you cant have the stitching with that option package.

[@rmartin5285]

I’m a 6-month Pro-4x owner. My likes are the ride, Fender stereo, there’s not 6 million on the road, low end torque, styling, simplicity. The bad are cruise control. It’s super poorly calibrated, hits 5500rpm to gain 4 mph or even on a slight incline. The leather. Don’t bother getting it. It’s 95% rubbery vinyl with tiny butt and lower back patches. It’s sticky when it’s hot, and there is no cooling feature. The defrost is LOUD on anything but the lowest two settings. The seat may work well for some, but it’s “front hinged”, meaning it does NOT rise at the front when you try to raise the seat, only the back. If it doesn’t provide enough thigh support if you have long calves when you test drive it, it never will. The back of my 2019 Tacoma had more room in the back, and had a less upright seating position. Otherwise super nice truck……

[@swampssa]

I think you’re forgetting that Nissan Trucks have never been flashy and have always been fairly basic. This is why I like them.

[@Wuldier]

im 5'10, 183 and it fits me fine.

[@Mike-ff7ib]

The button lights I like being dimmer because if they were bright, it would be a distraction for me. Head space can be gained slightly if you recline the seat back just a bit but it is small with smaller trucks.

[@elizabethmiller7918]

Everybody has been asking for a Tacoma with better seats and a bigger engine/better performance. Now here it is and folks still complaining.

[@TheBeatenPaths]

Another great video!!! All the negative things you mention here, my uncle had the exact same opinions with his mid 80's Sentra. Lol. Nissan will always be Nissan. Honda will always be Honda, Ford will always be Ford. Etc Etc.

[@MarineA109]

Wish they had the Pro 4x with a 6 foot bed!

[@shawnarudolph695]

Yes. Not necessarily to go off road , but just the better options of bird's eye view and comfort packages, etc.

[@HowManyEggs93]

Great video. Nissan trucks do seem underatted. Would you do a video on a 2021 Nissan titan xd pro 4x? Or just a regular xd

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

XD Titans are really hard for me to get sadly.

[@billtaylor2405]

Bought a new King Cab SV 4x4 this past week. Already getting 23 MPG around town. You forgot to mention that Nissan got rid of the gutless 4 cylinder engine. They put the 6 in all their Frontiers now. I owned and drove a 2007 Tacoma 4x4 King Cab for 8 years, there are no doubt some improvements like the Mercedes inspired 9 speed transmission. Otherwise driving a Frontier is so similar to a Tacoma, I almost couldn't tell the difference. You road tested a Pro 4X, it obviously has more bells and whistles for Off Road use. I traded a 2019 Frontier SV 4x4 in for the 2022 with the same package, and the first thing I noticed was ground clearance. The 2022 seemed to have quite a bit more ground clearance. I am having the rails installed to help a little. I had the rails on the 2019, but did not need them,. The rails were a cosmetic upgrade on the 2019, on the 2022 for a shorter person they are necessary. You also forgot to mention that Nissan has done away with the chrome. The only thing that appears to be chrome are the fake chrome cheesy looking factory wheels that come on the SV. In the 2019 the electronics package was way behind the times. The electronics in the 2022 are a vast improvement. I don't know why you think the tires will rub on the back, unless you made it happen. The suspension, even on the SV, is very stiff.

[@FreckyB]

I can definitely see where you are coming from. As someone who spends waaaaay too many hours in a bunch of different brands of pickups for work. I find some of their interiors are way too bright with all of the switches and dials and screens. After 10+ hours I find some of them really tire out my eyes with all the light shining at me. Especially up here in northern Canada your commute for a large part of the year is in complete darkness. I would like to just have a dimmer toggle but I find the orange color and the slightly dimmer light to be a nice change.

[@Thefishingplumber]

My Silverado has a dimmer switch I hate bright dashboard at night It totally blinds me

[@Wuldier]

I’ve had mine July last year, I did a Jeep badge of honor trail in Colorado with it, it wasn’t bad.

[@dominicbowers6628]

I’ve had my pro-4x since July, it’s been pretty durable. Dented the skid plate already though

[@scott8238]

Frontier= Crawl ratio 56:1 fully boxed titan frame (ability to titan swap suspension/engine) , Dana 44 locking rear (pro4x) , dana front diff, spicer transfer case, powerful vq motor, rear disc brakes, bullet proof and made in USA. Tacoma= 33:1 crawl ratio, C channel frame (on going corrosion frame recalls) , rear drum brakes, now made in Mexico, reliability declining and Toyota tax.

[@mhassouneh]

I totally understand what you mean about the button lights. It's as if they're out of focus, and their illumination is a little poor.

[@markjg2275]

Well, it is best to look at all the midsize trucks in person at all these things before you buy. The Ford Ranger has a 4 cylinder so it should have better milage, as for fancy interior details this is a truck not a BMW . My brother bought this Nissan Frontier crew cab in blue and is picking it up this week April 2022. We both took a test drive in it and looked it over and we see no problems it is just a good all around truck. The hydraulic steering is great old school and more reliable than electronic glad to see Nissan put that in the engine. For what we need this truck will do the job just fine and will be better off road trails in narrow tight spots unlike full size trucks here in Colorado. We do not need a full size truck harder to park in spaces and just too big the midsize are just right and this Nissan was the pick over the other makers for price and features.

[@jeremyshearer3885]

I have had 2 frontiers and had hardly any issues with either one , I had a 2012 sv king cab 4x4 and a 2018 sv king cab 4x4 and I am currently looking at another, one thing I noticed was ,I use mine for work, so I just want a basic work truck with 4x4, I can order a king cab or double cab 4x4 s model, the only option I want is a class 4 trailer hitch ,and that's all, I looked across the entire country and they have none like that, In fact I didn't see a s model with 4x4 and hitch any place in the country. They always have a stupid technology package but no hitch to tow, I would think most people want a hitch for towing so most dealers would order that ,even before any other option, so now I am going to try and order one and see if I can get one the way I want for 2023

[@NotGlen]

Drives better than a Tacoma. But doesn’t have a bunch bs tech or gizmos that are sometimes gimmicky. I came from a lifted jeep and a ford to a frontier. Perfect blend of everything. My only gripe is the low res cameras and no wireless CarPlay. But power transmission and previous proven longevity. Touch points are also feel luxurious. And buttons simple buttons and gauges. I know there is a lot of Chevy/ford and Toyotas fans but Nissan Frontier is severely underrated

[@4rr44E]

So, I agree it could use a telescoping steering wheel, but I bought one last month and fit fine in the driver’s seat at 6’5” and it’s comfortable for me.

Toyota is still king of the midsized trucks. Just wait till they redesigned the all new 2024 or 2025 Tacoma. Heard rumors they may offer a V6 twin turbo charged engine that’s in the new tundra. At least 400 horsepower and 500 ft lbs of torque or maybe more as an option. Heard Toyota will end up adding more horsepower and torque to the tundra as well. That would be badass to have that much power in a light 4wd Tacoma.

Before condemning the floor mats...see how well they wear. The best looking carpeted I had in a Denali wore out is about 9 months (driver side where right foot sat). As for ruber with a pro package, worse than weathertech and that is bad. Slippery when dry can only imaging when wet (weathertech are slippery when wet). My advice is winter, use Husky.) Brightness ok. Seat adjustment you should check before buying. I can say 6'2, proportional body it is a-ok for me. Hood...yes, that could use and extra six inches; need helmet if working on it. Smaller engine moving heavy truck vs. truck not that much heavier with larger engine. Do the math, MPG will be close

Not as good as the 26 from the Tacoma but the comfort of the Frontier more than makes up for it. I am 6’ 4” and while my hair may brush the moonroof cover a little bit sometimes, it is only if I sit up perfectly straight. I don’t typically wear a hat while I drive but when I do, I don’t feel the roof at all. I do miss the abundance of cup holders in the Tacoma but the large cup holders in the doors for my 40oz hydro flask is amazing.

When I looked at the new Frontier my overall feeling was that they just refreshed the old Frontier and could have done so much more. When I realized there was no telescoping steering wheel that killed it dead. 44k and no telescoping steering wheel?

[@awatukee7]

Well, take off your hat might help to get in better. I have 2022 PRO4X without leather option package and it comes with orange stitching /accent thru-out the cabin looks much better and fancier beside there is no ventilated seat option for leather which it gets fry pan hot in Summer time. I love my new Frontier and I call it the best all around truck and I have seen off road comparison between Tocoma vs Frontier ...they were neck and neck...well, Tocoma was a little better on the front approaching angle but who takes brand new truck to the rock climbing, I wouldn't. On the Pay-Load testing, truck bed went down only an inch (can't remember it was 500 lbs or 1,000 lbs) and the result was better than all mid size and some of full size truck. Highly recommendable. Make sure you get the bed extender and sport roll bar (2 1/2 inches thickness) for added safety.

[@nicholaslasky3754]

I actually didn’t like the seats but I test drove the pro 4x with the cloth seats. Maybe the leather ones are better but there is no lumbar adjustment which seems odd.

That’s a really solid question. A quick Google search and it is the same as Tacoma, Colorado and Ranger.

I bought a 80k warranty on the Rogue. you buy a 100k warranty if you wat. you should always opt for it if you intend on keeping your truck, I always kept my trucks and God for bid something dose happen , a little part could be huge Bill. I a Chevy s10 in 2001 peice of CRAP, 100k warranty again and the ball joint kept going and I was like wtf and Chevy kept replacing them and must have hated me .... lol , I got to know the service people very well at that point!! so paid it off and bought I bought another Nissan frontier witch was my 3rd Nissan Frontier witch were are so much more reliable . I've owned a 1989,1993,2005 Nissan truck are fun to drive!! Toyota used to pull up to me and want to race 😆🤣 Nissans are faster! So buy the extended warranty along with what they offer! Buy the way , you can talk the price of the warranty down with the finance dept !!! My wife and I did it with the 2018 Sl Rogue, remember your not working the deal to you sign all the papers and your pulling onto the road from the dealership!! My wife and I saved a lot of money getting the warranty down in the long run!! Also us a price club to buy your truck, we have Costco whole Sale clubs. Hope this you out!! Brad.

Tim, is the Frontier still a value leader? How would the price of say, a reasonably equipped SV trim unit, compare to that of a similarly equipped Tacoma or Ranger? The Frontier looks good, but it doesn’t lead the category in any one area, so I believe that it needs to lead in price in order to be highly competitive. Nice video. Thank you.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

I think sort of which is why I had that pricing section in the video. You can build it up to be comparable with the Tacoma, but you can also strip it down and get it at a lower price point. I think you could probably find lower trim levels on the lots for cheaper than a Ranger, however, that is when you can actually find trucks on the lot.

[@beexiong2995]

Nissan frontiers in the portland area are even more expensive than tacomas.

[@warrenbarnes9653]

@@Pickuptrucktalk Of course, you could pay more or less, depending upon how well you equip it. The question is whether a comparably equipped Frontier would cost the same, more or less than a Tacoma or Ranger. The old Frontiers could be had for several thousand dollars less than competitive models, comparably equipped. I wonder whether this is still true. From my recent build on the Nissan web site, a well-equipped SV trim was almost $40K, so I doubt that they have the same price advantage as before. I would still consider a Frontier because of the power train and styling inside and out.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

@@warrenbarnes9653 agreed. I haven’t priced them very much, but it seems like they aren’t the value driven choice now.

[@gagers6620]

This or a Ridgeline? I know they aren't really comparable for capability. However, I've always been a fan of the usability and comfort of the Ridegline, and ADORE that 3.5 V6. I like the Frontier for the looks and the off-road chops, but I'm not sure if it is actually something that would swing me. I would love to drive one but I have only ever seen one and that was while I was in Arizona.

[@Pickuptrucktalk]

Check out the Ridgeline with the HPD package. It might just be the ticket giving you some more off-road vibe with the Ridgeline.

[@gagers6620]

@@Pickuptrucktalk that is true. I have seen one and really like the looks, minus the overly aggressive cladding. In reality, I don’t think I’d ever use the Frontier to its full potential, and a Ridgeline like that would most likely do everything I need with ease.

[@CanadianProho]

I agree, the ridge line is a great option, but I can’t get over its feminine looks, especially the side profile and rear. The front they worked on a bit but still looks weak. Very practical in its layout.

[@IamGroot786]

@@gagers6620 The Ridgeline of course has its own shortcomings, but it's also so good on some areas. While the infotainment totally sucks along with the push button gear selection in newer models, it's just so damn spacious inside. Tim didn't show it in this video, but everybody else's back seat design/stowage ability is just terrible compared to the Ridgeline. I have 3 teenagers that fit comfortably back there. To some this may not matter so you just have to consider what your needs are.

[@semiauto3148]

I absolutely hate the red/orange buttons at night. I had a 2007 Frontier nismo. The orange gauges were horrible… it would be a deal breaker for me now….I see the instrument panel is white now which is way better. But they need to do the buttons white also

I had a 2004 Frontier with the non supercharged 3.3 and that truck was a tank. It was slow and the interior was tiny but that truck just ran and ran. I traded it in in 2019 on an f150 and although I'd never go back to a smaller truck, if I was in the market for a mid size, this would be the one.

[@lesterparker1594]

I thought so too, but after test driving all the midsize trucks, there’s a clear winner. Not the frontier, not the Colorado, and not even the Tacoma. It’s the ranger. And it’s really not close. The ride is more comfortable and dear god the drivetrain is so much better than the others.

[@robertmisiuk7137]

I had an 02 Frontier supercharged. It was a tank in the fact it went everywhere. Did great doing up ski runs and utility access roads. But that 3.3L engine needed the supercharger. I'll take a supercharger over a turbo any day.

[@TM-gv6zv]

You know what opinions are like an everyone has one. I'd rather have the Nissan over Toyota. The Toyota has more plastic than the Nissan... and myself have a 2022 and I get an average of 24.5 on the highway and 19 in the city..

For bigger individuals/ buy a full size truck The MPG is almost the same as a Tacoma

[@laylabono4035]

Honda CRV has good seat too.

[@FreshwaterSquid77]

I drive a Silverado but I'm honestly tempted to trade it in for the new Frontier. It looks good and I could have some fun with the PRO-4X. Plus parking a full-sized can be a pain in certain situations. I like having a full-sized truck just to have one but I don't *need* one. A mid-sized would serve my needs just fine, even though all my buddies would make fun of me if I make the switch. Anyway, thanks for the video; I'll take it into consideration as I mull it over.

Get rid of the 17' rim and go with a 16' rim would be the best bet!

[@robgrune3284]

Some would say a non-turbo engine is preferred, especially for towing. Other brands use turbos, which are "on" constantly during towing, creating mucho wear which likely means replacements ere long. My only dislike is the GDI engine, which will require a major job to clean the carbon off the valves. Toyota has the better engine, DPI. But Toyota seats are terrible for taller people. pros and cons. Wish Nissan had a DPI engine and a larger fuel tank.

Fuel economy is a concern in this segment. Full size trucks equal or surpass the EPA ratings on this otherwise great vehicle. I wonder what real world numbers are like?

[@kennordsfan1494]

Yes you are correct, I had a couple of Colorado crew cabs 4 wheel drive loaded units. Last year I bought a 2021 gmc 1500 crew cab elevation loaded and it was a 5 grand difference. Once you take the rebates in to account it was 1 grand less the the Colorado? Fuel mileage is about 1.5 mpg on average more in the full size truck? The only thing I miss with the Colorado is the easy of parking, turning radius other than that the full size truck is so much better.

[@TREVORJB101]

This is a very sharp truck. I'd love to see the GM twins get a tougher looking exterior like this.

[@ALMX5DP]

I can’t wait to see what GM does when we do see their redesigns. Also looking forward to the 2.7 turbo engine being on offer.
