The sv 4x4 trim in blue looks awesome 👍

I have a new frontier and it gets over 20mpg. I traded in a 2021 Ranger xlt and it never got more than 19mpg. I really enjoy the steering its not loose and all over the road like most of Fords trucks. This truck also is way more comfortable than a Tacoma for a long road trips.

I have a frontier and trust me, the back doesn’t need air vents. It gets pretty cold very quickly!

Thank you for reviewing a different trim other than the Pro 4X

This is perfect for frontier buyers. It’s new but still simple. That will go along way. Yea there’s parts from last gen and not as fancy but Nissan doesn’t need it to be. The truck will sell its self.

Finally, a SV sighting. Been waiting to see a non Pro-4x version lol

Excellent review, Alex! Having owned 2 Frontiers and a Tacoma in the past, I would definitely choose this over the Tacoma. In fact, I hated my Tacoma. It was uncomfortable, drove like sh*t and the chassis vibrations drove me nuts. I got rid of it after just a year. However, I have always enjoyed my Frontiers as the reliable, capable, durable, affordable trucks that they are. That said, I definitely wouldn't say this new Frontier still offers the same value as before. I purchased a well equipped 2016 Pro4X for $34k while the new Pro4X starts at $38k with no options, so when compared to the competition that previous value is almost gone. Also, there are quite a few annoyances in this new truck... no telescoping steering wheel, lots of hard plastic, dumb location for offroad controls (down by left knee), pricey option packages, it's not really all new, etc. That said, I'll probably still buy a Pro4X next year because it is now the best overall midsize truck available, in my opinion. I just wish Nisan had gone a bit further to truly modernize this truck, especially considering how long they waited to do a redesign. Who knows when the next one will be...

Someone please get this man a 2-door manual Bronco

Grabbing a top trim SV model and putting black rhino wheels on it 🔥🔥

And you are the only one who thinks the the pro x is weird, is actually brilliant, i want the pro 4 x looks but i don't need 4 wheel drive so i don't want to pay more for that, sorry Alex it does makes sense for a lot of people

Another great analysis on video!

I really like it, I’m just not crazy about the interior.

Very excited to test drive this new truck, Thanks for the review Alex!

Alex is the best automotive reviewer out there for sure !!

The SVs look fantastic, looks like they will be a great value.

I really love the frontier I have two of them a 2002 supercharged and a 2003 with heaters and double muffler and everything new I mean everything beautiful truck 🛻 and very reliable indeed 🙏🇺🇸🇮🇹🇮🇪🇩🇴🌻🌞💜

The Pro-X is a replacement for the Desert Runner model the previous gen had. Tacoma sells more 2wd TRD Offroads than 4wd ones. Most people only want (and need) the offroad look.

Great review!

Excellent review

Finally! Been waiting for your full review video of this truck for awhile since your teaser preview video a couple months ago. Always enjoy your thorough reviews.

Just got my pro4x june 22 and i love it im averaging 23.6 - 24.5 in town and on a 81 mile drive as well comfy and powerful great truck

Toyota sells 200,000 Tacomas a year, Nissan sells 35,000 Frontier pickups a year. Toyota isn't worried.

I agree with your assessment. If I decide to go with a mid-size pickup (daily drivability and size) over half-ton truck (better tow capability), the Nissan Frontier would be on my Top 3 list. I am a Ridgeline fan. I also learned to drive on a 1968 Jeep J-10 full-sized Gladiator pickup truck, so I am intrigued with the Gladiator. The Frontier seems to split the difference between the Ridgeline and the Gladiator. Solid!

"A pick up truck Pilot" - you hit the nail on the head with that comment about the Ridge Line Alex.

I owned the previous Gen-Frontier and I'm amazed how many interior bits I see carried over. For being redesigned, there's a lot of 'parts bin' bits they reused.

Alex, just curious if you'd like to answer, how come you never reviewed the second gen Frontier with the 4.0 liter? Did you feel it no longer competed because of age? Or too many reviews from others already? I always wanted to know your opinion on it.

The exterior looks good, though it lacks any real distinction. The main drawback of this truck is that it's a Nissan. I just don't trust the Nissan brand anymore. The reliability, durability, and resale values just haven't been there for the last decade, or so. Toyota is still the best IMO.

As a business proposition, if I were in charge of any vehicle manufacturer, there is one thing I would do above all else, and that would be to go ALL IN on front seat comfort. Whatever else I had to sacrifice to remain price competitive, I would do it, because I feel that aside from having a good and reliable drivetrain, there is nothing more important than the seat you are going to be spending every hour of ownership sitting on.

Good review & great Nissan.

I think the Frontier is the best looking mid-size truck. And a good powertrain.

this is one of the best looking trucks I've seen, nissan's designs have definitely been on point lately.

If customer's are looking at mpg's they should not be buying a truck.

Great review! One question tho. What’s the starting price for the sv trim?

watching this for a second time. because it the only sv 4x4 video ive seen.

I can't believe the inaccessible place they put the rear locker button. They must really not want you to press that button.

Like your reviews, Alex. A few years ago you gave a positive review of V6 Colorado. No mention of GM twins here in Frontier review? Comments?

Ridgeline still best for me and family, my 15 year old is 6ft 3inch and would not fit it back comfortably for or family trips, the reliability is very good since 2010 and our 2017, the ride on and off road to go fishing in northern Ontario is excellent, our fuel economy is decent enough, I love the looks despite negative reviews, we love our Ridgeline even though it's not perfect, but closer than all others

If a 4x8 sheet of plywood fits between the wheel wells then I’m sold!

Excellent review, Alex! I would like to know. Out of the nissan frontier sv crew cab 4x4 and pro4x which one has the better ride.?

Alex-you are the best but why no full roof test of thus vehicle yet? Thanks. Matt G

Got the pro4x! Amazing truck and best one for 2022.

Love the blue colour they chose for this generation. Sharp looking.

Looks good

I would buy the Tacoma it is a better truck overall and more reliable I don’t trust Nissan anymore.

Well it's been 2 years now since the Frontier was revised. For the 1st quarter of 2024 the Frontier is by far the best selling mid-size truck. As far as reliability and gas mileage I'm happy to say my 2022 SV 4x4 crew cab is still rattle free and hasn't been back to the dealer for anything but oil changes...gas mileage is averaging 23-24 combined with a best drive of 29.8 mpg on a country road at 50mph over about a 40 minute drive.

When talking about the bed you said "... at 6 ft tall..." Thank you! I've been watching a LOT of videos about the new micro trucks last few days. I've seen half a dozen people making videos showing the head room and leg room in the back seat but never said if they are 5'4" tall or 6'8"' tall and I wonder just what the legroom they showed means to a person 6'3" tall. I'm enjoying your videos. Please continue to mention your height in reviews like this one. It's a helpful touch like so many of the other things you add in that others leave out. Well done.

the tight backseat and close pricing would be the top reasons why folks would just as rather go for a half-ton

The blue one is pretty hot. I have always been a fan of the Frontier, even the version that went on for 16 years...lol!

Looks surprisingly green for Utah this time of year.

It feels like this is the sentiment every time. Someone is coming for the Tacoma. Hasn’t happened yet.

In the exclusive dog comfort index this gets a 4 out of 10. The back floor is fairly small and the sub woofer takes up most of the left side. While chihuahuas and Pomeranians will be comfortable, Labrador Retrievers and German Shepherds will fine the back area rather cramped.

The New Frontier is nice and a great option to consider for new buyers looking for a midsize truck. I hope it’s enough to push the Toyota to redesign in 24 to some class leading improvements. Too bad the MT was discontinued. It was reliable and solid. Hope the Frontier proves itself in years to come to be a reliable, dependable truck.

Can anyone please tell me if the turning radius has significantly improved? Apparently not, no review has mentioned an improvement. Anyone who is familiar with the out going model would recognize an improvement immediately.

I am deciding to buy one. My current frontier is blue book is higher than when I bought it new. And with the Feds planning to raise interest rates I wonder if this is the best I can get for my old truck.

I want a more hardcore version of the frontier fron the factory. Twin turbo v6 or supercharger with an appearance package will get people's attention real quick!

Nice!

So if you were looking for an urban midsize pickup truck that was comfortable for the occasional long road trip, would you go for the Frontier SV with two wheel drive for $34k or the Ridgeline RTL for $40k? This new entry makes my plan to spend a lot of extra money on the Ridgeline a lot more difficult to justify.

Clever proposition from Nissan. Everything you need, nothing you don’t. Let’s hope they’ll keep it affordable without getting too greedy. If they’re asking for too much, they’ll probably miss out. It’s on my shopping list with the Gladiator and the ZR2. But I wish there was a stick option.

I really love mine, the motor has a lot of power.

Is rear AC not available on any trim?

toyota had the pre-runner sub-trim back in the day, 4WD look without the 4WD.

The ProX with only 2WD will be popular in southern or south west states Id imagine where not having 4WD is okay.

Better looking for sure(imo).

When are Nissan and Toyota come into the 21st century and include Auto 4WD in their 4x4 trucks?

Buy the time you do the add on options to the SV model if you want a 6' bed you may as well buy a Ram 1500 for the same money and get better options, full size truck and no Direct Injection engine.

This new look could have made a nice come-back for the xterra.

Looks nice - any automatic AWD mode on any of the trims? Or memory seats?

How much is the blue sv trim ?

A bit further into the future, we learned the Ford Maverick does indeed haul like the Frontier. Often times more so. However, it is held back by tow rating and off-road capability. Surprisingly the Maverick has the option for a standard trailer brake controller. Which should be a legally required for anything that has a tow rating of 3000 lbs or more.

Weird that the seat bottom doesn’t do tilt when my 2010 frontier does interesting choice not to carry that over

Really need telescoping steering column. Guess I will keep looking. Hopefully the Dakota will be back one day

Many people like the looks of the pro4x but have no intention of going off road. That is the reason for the ProX model.

As a diehard Toyota truck owner - The new Frontier is the Tacoma that Toyota should have produced. I hate the current Tacoma. The drive train is a wreck and the seating position is terrible. I towed a 3,500lb trailer twice from AZ to CA in the current Tacoma. The transmission NEVER stopped shifting. Even on a level interstate with cruse control on. On the way back we had no trailer attached and it continued to relentlessly shift. That, and I felt like I was sitting on the floor with my legs straight out. Very uncomfortable. I am super excited about the new Frontier. These trucks have an exceptional reliability track record and the price is right. Looks like Nissan hit a home run on this one.

Anyone know if the SV trim can have the 9 inch screen as an option?

It's funny to me how these are considered midsized trucks in this current day and age. Dimension wise, my '19 Frontier is almost the same size as my old full-sized '86 Silverado pickup...within an inch or so...

That blue one is fire.

When the final test results coming ?

Has the turning radius improved?

Do the front seat have more range of motion over the prior gen? I found at 6'4" that I was looking for more leg room in the prior gen truck. Like the seat need to go back another couple inches.

How does Toyota sell so many Tacomas, despite every auto writer saying the seating position is terrible?

It's nice to see Nissan step it up. Tacoma has dominated the segment for years, however now with the Frontier stepping it up and hopefully RAM Dakota coming back in 2024 Toyota will be forced to step it up with the wimpy 278hp V6. Tacoma is very underpowered. RAM Dakota with V8 will dominate the segment.

What trim will have the tan interior ok heating of?

Nissan did improved this truck tremendously and it’s a better truck than Tacoma. Even the guys at Motor Trend picked this truck over Tacoma.

2:40 did Alex insert audio of a tractor or does the truck have rod knock?

Nice but... needs rear climate vents and better looking fog lights.

The new 2022 Tacoma is more 1 and a half inches higher than the previous model. But Nissan Frontier has the look that is simple but yet aggressive.

We need nissan frontier R with gtr nismo engine in it and borla 3" exhaust system with hankook tyres 305/ 65R18

best trim was the manual pro4x and they killed it

What about the GM diesel?

Are we getting a roof rack on the truck

Got a 2017 frontier fuel milage sucks but other rear end going at a cost of $6,000 to me truck has not been to bad really. Still think they need more keg room for drivers

It's insane to not have a telescoping steering column in anything but the cheapest subcompact car. It's inexcusable for it to be missing in this truck.

where is the full nissan frontier review?

Would always buy a Toyota, BUT the T. Tacoma engine is so Weak in the 4 and 6 cylinder (the new Toyota engine with Atkinson cycle to save gas is terrible)(the old 4.0L engine on the Toyota was better) , I test drove the new Nissan engine 3.8L in the 2020 model with the new 9 speed transmission and it was fast but the truck kept trying to shift gear to save gas and make the drive jerk, hopefully in the 2022 model Nissan gave it a sport or power button to stop the transmission from changing gears all the time to save gas, stop it from jerking, but the truck was way faster than a Toyota Tacoma v6 and powertrain felt better. (question is do I buy a Toyota that will run forever with just oil and fluid changes, or a Nissan that has been going through so many reliability issue and crazy new management but has more power (and I think the Nissan looks better too) )

Looks like the passenger seat "desk" is gone :( They used to market these as work vehicles. I own a painting company and do a lot of paperwork on the go.

I'm not a huge fan of large trucks, so I'd pick this new engine/transmission with the 2020 body style.

No telescoping steering wheel. Guess this truck is now off my list. Arthritic neck I have to lean back a bit when I drive. Also haven’t seen a cooled seat option in this truck.

Looks great! Wish it had a column shifter, but it's quite nice and boxy.

Pro-X is for people down south that just want the look and don't need 4WD.

Bought a 2021 , SV Midnight addition 4x4 for $30,000 last year. Just happened to be near a Nissan dealer the other day and decided to take a look at the new trucks. They had a SV, 4X4 and a SV, 4X2 both with cloth interior. BOY! talk about sticker shock. The 4x4 was $42,450 and the 4x2 was $38,450 Don't think so !!!
